Alexandra is 5.5 today. When I told her that she asked me if that meant it was her birthday. I said, well it’s your half year birthday but we don’t usually have a party for that. Hopefully I can get a picture of her later on.

I just can’t seem to keep up with the site anymore - I guess it’s been hard since I started working. I have a bunch of great photos from last Month to post - hopefully I will finish that soon.

Overall, Alex is doing great. She likes preschool and is learning a lot. And she is mostly well behaved. She’s also smart and funny. A little while ago she was sitting on my lap and I started thinking about how small she used to be. It’s amazing how fast time goes by.

Alex is 3.5 today … I don’t have much to say because I think this picture says it all. I took it this evening - I guess being 3.5 means as soon as you get home from school you want to put on your jammies and wear them with your snow boots and a tiara. You also need a purse, some jewelry, and a backpack. Too funny!!

I am sorry about the lack of updates - for the last week I have been completely absorbed with Hurricane Katrina and horrified by our government’s response to this natural disaster. Hopefully I will start my updates again soon.

Three days until Alexandra’s 3rd birthday!!!

Alex is going to be three in just two months - I can’t believe it. I’m a little behind because I went to New York last week and saw Tori Amos last night (I am so tired and have a bad headache this morning). I have new photos so I hope to get them posted soon as well as make other updates.

Alex is 2.5 today!!! Just six months ago on her birthday she was barely talking and now she speaks in full sentences - just yesterday she said, “Look Daddy! I did it all by myself.” She is getting very excited about Christmas. We got our tree yesterday and decorated it last night. We also set up the children’s Nativity Set, which she loves!! We didn’t use it last year because she was too little and would have chewed on it but now she loves it and has been playing with it ever since we set it up. She is having so much fun arranging the characters and especially likes playing with the baby and the little animals.

And the tree seems to have caused a “Christmas miracle” this morning. Usually Alex gets up between 6am-7am (usually closer to 6) and comes into our room and wakes us up. This morning I woke up at 7:20am and Alex wasn’t in my room - I was laying there thinking that I should check on her when I heard her door open. I waited but she still didn’t come into our room. So then I thought I better get up and see what she is doing - she always comes and gets me up in the morning. I got up and she was in the living room looking at the tree and playing with the Nativity Set - she just loves it. It is now an hour later and she is still playing (well, she had some breakfast in between). If I had known I would have set up the Nativity Set months ago

Alex will say she is two when you ask her old she is - now I am trying to get her to say that she is 2.5. It’s amazing how much she has changed since she turned 2.

I haven’t written anything in over 10 days!!! I think I am suffering from PES (Post Election Syndrome). I hope to get back on track soon.

I can’t believe I haven’t written anything here for 10 days!!! But nothing really exciting has happened - has kind of been the same old stuff each day. I think Alex and I are both tired of winter and are really looking forward to spring.
