Big Changes for All!

It is finally starting to feel like spring! And as the weather changes, so has our little family. Boo is getting smarter every day. But her increasing intelligence means increasing work for Mommy.
She found an unopened jar of all spice. Boo found out how to unscrew the lid, and pull off the protective seal. You can see Mickey and all her other toys were well seasoned. She also figured out where Mommy kept the stickers. I hope this isn't a sign of future body piercings....
Boo has learned to go down the slide all by herself. She is also sleeping in a big girl bed! All by herself. All through the night. Casey and Heather now are getting more sleep. (For the moment)
Heather and future baby girl are doing fine. Less than eight weeks until our new arrival. She's not counting down or anything. Heather hopes that baby girl doesn't come too soon. She wishes to walk at graduation on May 3rd. Yes, we have a name picked out, and everyone will just have to wait until she comes.
Casey is finally done with all his interviews and applications for Grad school. He was accepted to Samuel Merritt in Oakland, and Creighton University in Nebraska. Creighton was impressed with Casey, and Casey impressed with Creighton. So, we've decided to move to Nebraska. We haven't figured out how yet... Our plans are to first, graduate; second, have a baby; and then we'll work out how to get across the country. At least we don't have to do it in hand carts like our ancestors!
We'll leave you with a video of Boo dancing with her beloved Mickey while watching "Dancing with the Stars." We love our little star!

hint of coming spring

We've been longing for warmer weather. February seams to bring a bring a hint of spring. Boo has been enjoying spending time outside. She is learning how to climb up the playset all by herself.

"You never know what a girl is worth,
You'll have to wait and see;
But every woman in a noble place,
A girl once used to be."

Today is Boo's 2nd birthday! I can't believe how fast the last two years have flown by. I can't imagine how fast the years will come. Some days I just want to hold Boo and say, never grow up! But with each thing she learns, and with every new discovery there is a thrill that would be missed if I had my wish.
On Saturday we had a little early party for her with Casey's family and my cousin Natalie. As usual the little princess was spoiled. Oh to be the grandparent! Enjoy the pictures and video.
