As I am updating Maggie's blog there are snowflakes falling softly to the ground (which is already snowcovered). It is really beautiful. Maggie Marie is doing great, and i can see 3 more teeth poking through her gums. She loves to "talk" on the phone, and in a pinch will substitute a plastic giraffe or zebra for her phone.

Some of her words:

please
cheese
juice
yogurt (you wouldn't know she was saying, unless you saw her ponting
to it in the fridge)
peanut butter
papa, dada
mama
grandma
nanette
grandpa
pop pop
she pants when she sees a dog (or most other animals)
socks
shoes
uh-oh (with hand motions)

Of course most of her words are not particularly clear, but she talks away anyway, and is such a joy.

To Uncle Hank:

Maggie tried to call you on her cell phone to say "get well soon", but unfortunately she is not included in our plan. Anyway, here she is on her phone, and we all hope that you recover quickly. We are praying for you.

neighbors:

These are our neighbors. Diana and Eugenia, from South Korea. They are such a sweet family, and we have enjoyed sharing a wall with them.

projects

What else can I do when it is so cold outside? It is probably a good thing we are in an apartment, so I can't go crazy on the walls...

Sam taped out the diamonds (I tried, and quickly realized I should hand it over). I lined the diamonds with this awesome liquid gold paint; it is so much fun to paint with.

What else needs a little gold???
