Every day for a month!

Brace yourself! I am going to post daily for the next 30 days! I have really been slacking in the blogging department lately. Wish me luck.

Kevin recently returned from a 3-week business trip, his second one since he started his job at the end of May. I really can't complain, because Kevin LOVES his job and we feel blessed to have a stable income. We're just not fans of these long trips! They wanted him to stay for an entire month... thank heavens he was able to come home early! I think I would have gone crazy. Of course, I have a cousin whose husband is in the navy... when he goes "out of town" it's for months, not weeks. I honestly don't know how she does it!

Laurie is almost 16 months old! She is almost sitting up by herself. She is starting to put some weight on her legs, which is a good sign. I doubt that she'll be walking by her second birthday... but I have hope that she'll be crawling by then! I have a feeling that once she becomes mobile, there'll be no stopping her!

Haili is as cute as ever. We are going to be getting her a cello in the next month or so. She loves to sit on my lap as I play and she loves to dance to all the Suzuki Book 1 pieces. I also have a mini bow that she loves to do bow exercises with. Since we'll be in semi-seclusion this winter, we thought it would be a good idea to get Haili a cello. We'll have plenty of time to practice while we strive to keep Laurie healthy by staying home most of the time!

Here's to a hopefully uneventful RSV season!

Every time you talk about the cello, I wish I lived close so you could teach me too.

Oh, I second that to the uneventful RSV season.

We're looking forward to all the upcoming updates. Glad you guys are doing well.

Yay! I'm so excited to see more pictures of your cute girls! I can't wait to read your posts.
I hear you about the LOOOONG Work trips. Sometimes it can be the pits! That's so great that Kevin loves his job. That really makes all the difference!
I miss hearing you play your cello! That is SO AWESOME about Hailie's cello! I can't wait to hear how she does. You'll definatly have to post a video of her playing. I'm sure it will be the most precious thing ever!
I'm glad to hear Laurie is doing well! I hope she continues to thrive.
You guys are awesome parents! I hope this RSV season is an uneventful one for you too!

Wow! Good luck to you in writing every day. I could not do that. I understand how hard it is to have hubby gone, I feel that pain. Congrats on getting started early on the cello. That will be good for her. Good luck with the RSV season. Sooooooo glad to be out of that one and into warm weather.
