Wild Weather
We had rain, sun, wind, rain, hail, sun and more wind today.
I think this might have been Rachael's first hail storm; she was excited to get to hold some of it.
Until she realized it was made of ice.

Cake
Rachael is still loving her Easy Bake Oven from Aunt Lynne.
Today's treat: yellow cake with chocolate frosting, and sprinkles!

Ingenuity
This is a rubber ball that got broken - I'm not sure how. Rachael wanted to put it back together (she explained to me later), so she got some white glue and glued it back together.
Too bad it didn't work - but an A for effort!

Daddy's Home!
Ryan was able to come home a few days early! We are excited!
He is a great dad: he brought Rachael a hat and some princess chopsticks
from Disneyland Hong Kong.

Blowing Kisses
The picture I have been meaning to get since the beginning of the school year:
Rachael blowing me a kiss from the bus!

Skills
Rachael has been tying a blanket around herself to be a princess lately, but it never stays tied on. She liked the blanket because 1) it was open in the front so her feet didn't step on it, and 2) it trailed on the floor. So I did what every self-respecting stay-at-home mom would do: I made her a dress up skirt.
Bonus picture: while shopping tonight we stumbled across a Rapunzel dress-up dress. It was totally worth buying for the smile on her face the rest of the day. Here she is with her Rapunzel collection.

Girls Day
We took in a movie today for something fun to do.
She is just so darn cute with her kid-sized 3D glasses
and giant bucket of popcorn.

Babysitting Swap
We regularly swap babysitting with our friends the Tippets so that we can take turns going to the temple. Tonight was our turn to babysit. We started getting ready for bed on time, but to let the kids kind of stay up a bit, we took turns reading books for awhile.

Project
We needed a project for our snow day, so we made a Valentine's Day pillowcase. It joins the collection of other holiday pillowcases, the rest of which were made by her wonderful Grandma. I think all we need is St Patricks Day and Rachael will have a full collection!

Rachael memorized Articles of Faith #1-#8 and #13 to earn
nine toppings for her Sunday Sundae.
Way to go Rachie!

Back to School
Three favorite words of parents everywhere:
Back to School.
She was so excited to go back!
She's waiting here with Blake and Alex, who usually come over
to play on Tuesdays.

Girls Week
It's girls week (well, weeks) while Daddy is in China, so we made chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting, sprinkles, and red M&Ms on top. Calling it Girls Week kind of takes the focus off missing Daddy so much. Well, for the little one, anyway. The best part of the evening was when the cupcakes were cooled but I had not frosted them yet, and Rachael looked at them and said, "Those aren't cupcakes. Cupcakes have frosting and sprinkles on top."
More "girls week" adventures to come.

Happy New Year!
Plan for this year: take a picture every day, kind of like the Flickr: Project 365, except I'm going to try to photograph moments that capture events, things or people I am thankful for.
Wish me luck.
With that in mind, here is today's offering:
Ryan giving Rachael a hug at the airport before he heads out for a three week business trip to China.
Wish me luck.
