Peek-a-boo, We're Here
After a long period of either not posting or just posting pics, I have time to do a post! Sisters, you can stop bugging me now. ;) I have more time today since PrincessPea is napping and the house is clean and laundry done - whoa, all rare things to occur all at the same time! Rarely does my munchkin nap long, but she's been running a bit of a fever. Combine that with a rousing weekend with all the C. cousins is the perfect recipe for a very tired little girl.Life is good and keeps on trekking. TheMan and I have had some wonderful experiences these past few months that have brought us closer and more focused. Nothing earth shattering really, but just a tweaking of the lens of life which has allowed a sharper image to occur. We still have as many creative plans as ever, but we feel more direction now.
Above is Pea playing peek-a-boo with me. She is a constant whirl of fun and energy. She talks up a storm and states: "I share Mommy's cell phone." as she calls family members just to talk. She has had lots of fun this early spring at swimming lessons and gymnastics but they haven't tired her out! She still wants to dance too! She will clasp her little hands together and say: "Please,please, please Mommy!" It is hard to resist her cuteness, but I seem to be saying "No" to quite a number of misadventures anyway. At her most recent pedo visit she was 27 pounds (18%) and 36 inches tall (50%) and able to identify most of the alphabet letters around the waiting room. She's a whiz at matching games and puzzles. She can count to 12, but then jumps to 18 for some reason :) To me, she's trying to jump from turning 3 years to 18! We play a lot of hide-and-seek. She loves to hide where I hid the last turn. Our second favorite game is taking turns on the piano and dancing. One of us will "play" the piano and the other will dance. It is fun and probably hilarious for the neighbors if they pass by but we still dance like nobody is watching!
My days are a combination of motherhood and family, dentistry, young womens, housekeeping and such plus a smackerel of my hobbies (singing, gardening, photography, design, etc.) when I can squeeze them in. Lots has happened that I haven't posted, but I'll be more diligent in my blog history from here on out. Love, Annie

Spring is coming!!!
It is amazing how great spring feels! I love to walk in the sun without a coat! The crocuses are blooming. Love it. Also been loving mobile posting pics from my phone - have you noticed increased activity here and on Facebook? Yep, it is the phone apps. I would also love some pussy willow branches, so if anyone knows someone who has a tree: please email me! Thanks.
Here is my cutie enjoying a spring shower:

Knee Deep in Valentine's
We decided to take off to the cabin for Valentine's Day/President's weekend. It was a last minute decision that led to not packing much - but luckily we could wash our clothes there! After much discussion, we decided to take the PeaPod along - even though she has a hard time falling asleep when her usual routine is disrupted. Let's be honest: even with her usual routine, she is not over joyous about bedtime. The girl's like the energizer bunny: unless you strap her down, she won't stop.The weekend was beautiful! The snow up there was knee deep and soft. I've been feeling the Olympic spirit. I even tear up at the commercials. So I had to wear my hat! Never mind that I was in dental school during the 2002 Olympics, I still had to get the hat! It was awesome to watch the Olympics while at the cabin Yes, I know it is weird that the cabin has TV and we don't, but my grandparents addition of television out there was awesome because now we can watch Apollo Ono! And sometimes, like watching the Olympics, TV is a good thing! I know, you are shocked by that statement.
Me, nearly 32, piggy tails, sans makeup mind you :)!
PeaPod figured out that it was easier to army crawl on top of the snow instead of trying to walk through snow. It nearly as deep as she is tall. She thought it was a riot. She was still yelling for the deer to come out and play with her when we dragged her back inside that evening.
The spontaneous overnight-er was a wonderful break from regular life.We even saw a bald eagle soaring low along the treetops.

Christmas Test Run
Christmas was a blast! There was a last minute request: PeaPod was adamant that Santa would bring her the sparkly new purple Hello Kitty two wheeled bike with training wheels. Santa had other wrapped presents planned, but he couldn't let her down! Especially since she would wake up every morning asking about "my Christmas bike". She would come out of her bedroom every morning before Christmas wondering if Santa had brought it yet. "Where's my Christmas bike? Where's Santa?" Who can stand in the way of such faith? So he switched a few toys around and made it happen! This was the first test run she took at 8am Christmas morning. We bundled up (despite being a little sick - hey, cold is good for fevers, right?!?) and took a very quick test ride outside. It was so cold that we scurried back to the house where I turned a blind eye to her riding it around the house. Luckily for my furniture, she steers pretty well and the basement is unfinished!
Build Today
Build today,
then strong and sure,
With a firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure.
Shall tomorrow find its place.
