Okay so I am not doing so hot with the resolution thing so far ... but I am here now. And I am officially Tracked Out! I get to play stay-at-home mom for the next 3 1/2 weeks! That means: leisurely strolls through Target, coffee/play dates with Chelle and baby Livi,and staying on top of the laundry and housekeeping and I am going to try new recipies - one of which is bulgogi, a delicious Korean dish. Life is good!

All is well on the home front. Paige is 7 1/2 months old and growing like a weed. She is bright, inquisitive, expressive and has a definite stubborn streak - she must get that from the Holts - heehee. She will do the army crawl when absolutely necessary but prefers to walk everywhere, which is breaking our backs! Luckily, our friends gave us a walker - a Jeep Renegade no less! That eases our aching backs but poor Chewy, Paige can cruise rather quickly in the jeep and always makes a beeline for her dog!

I celebrated my 35th birthday last month. It was bittersweet, as my grandmother died that morning. She was 91 and died peacefully in her sleep, just the way we all want to go, but still it is sad. Mickey talked me into taking the day off. We had breakfast at Big Ed's (best hotcakes in Raleigh)and then took Paige to Marbles Kids Museum. It was just the thing I needed!

Of course, here are a snaps of baby Paige. Isn't she incredible?
