Earning my keep

Mommy and Daddy decided that it was time for me to start doing some chores around the house. So I helped Mommy with the dishes after dinner tonight.

Mommy says I was big help!

I have to go. I need to vacuum my bedroom now!

Snow Day

Mommy and I had a snow day today. Actually, I was supposed to go to daycare late (it didn’t close), but Mommy’s government office was closed. Your tax dollars at work. This meant I got to spend the day with Mommy and I even got to try out my snow suit and boots. That snow was awfully crunchy! Here are some pictures…

Mommy left us… but she came home!

One of Mommy’s New Year’s resolutions was to fulfill her field investigation requirement for her EIS (Epidemic Intelligence Service – whatever that means) job. So, when she went back to work January 3 she e-mailed her EIS director and let him know that she was interested in going on a field investigation "some time." Guess what! Two hours later he called and asked if she was available to leave for a field investigation in Rhode Island the next day. She wasn’t expecting such a quick response, but she couldn’t turn down something she had just asked for, so she left for Rhode Island on January 4.

I missed her a lot, but Daddy & I had fun…

I got 2 new teeth- that was lots of fun for Daddy!

Daddy made me do tricks, like balancing toys on my head, which I guess was sort of fun,

And we watched the OSU game, but I guess that wasn’t really fun…

Finally, Mommy came home on Friday (January 19), and we got back to doing our favorite thing together!

Mommy says she’ll try to stay home for awhile now. Yay! (That was from me and Daddy)

What I Did Over Christmas Vacation- by Alex Luckhaupt

Mommy and Daddy both took a whole week of vacation after Christmas to play with me, and I got to visit old friends and make some new ones! First, I saw my old buddy Tyler. He might be more than a year older than me, but he’s still not much bigger than me! Aren’t we cute in our jammies?

Then I got to see Ella. We met before, back when we were little, but we’ve both matured a lot since then. Like Charlie Brown, I think I have a thing for little red-headed girls! My daddy and Ella’s daddy, "Barney", were fraternity brothers together. I’m not sure what that means, but Mommy says that she never pictured the two of them swapping stories about their babies back when they were at Sigma Nu.

Finally, I got to meet Daddy’s friend Phil’s daughter, Isa. For once I wasn’t the youngest. Poor baby Isa, she doesn’t even know how to sit up yet, but I told her not to worry, she’ll get there soon enough!

Don’t tell Mommy & Daddy, but I was kind of glad they had to go back to work so we could stop driving around so much!

Happy Grandparents Day!

Be sure to hug all of the grandparents around you today and tell them that you love them!
