I heard laughing during naptime and found this:

Mari, sitting up - and trying to pull herself up even further! - in her crib!! She has come such a long way in the last few months and I am so excited!

In other news, all my friends and bloggy buddies are doing these wonderfully insightful and fun year-in-review posts. Because I am a sheep, I am going to throw one together too, I think. (But poorly, and only half-heartedly reviewing the year, with a heavy focus instead on pictures of the kids and the goings on of the last couple of months since I've been slacking on the blog. Glad?)

Hanging my head over here...

I can't believe I missed it! I know it's been almost a month since I have posted. Believe me, I have often thought over the last several weeks that my poor blog was being neglected. The unfortunate thing is my incredibly bad luck with electronics has reared its ugly head again and I shattered the screen on my laptop in a three-inch topple to the ground. Still, that's no excuse for missing it!

As Teena in Toronto so sweetly reminded me, yesterday was my second Blogoversary. (Thanks Teena! You're the best!) And I missed it. (Boo me!) So....Happy Belated Blogoversary to me. I'll try to post more worth reading in the next few days.
