This is the time of year when I start getting sentimental. I think about all the fun things I used to do around this time of year and how much family played such an important factor in them all.  It makes me wish I had learned more from my grandparents and learned more ABOUT them.  I hope that Willow will have the same relationship with her family and will be sentimental about it when she gets my age. A day doeesn't go by that I don't think about my grandparents (especially this time of year a lot of things remind me of them)
Onto Willow updates which I have been terrible at updating in this blog.   She isn't sleeping well EVER, we all are hoping it is a phase that will pass.  She's a champ at eating with utensils (when she eats) but you better feed her fast cause she isn't much on sitting still too long.  She still is waiting for those 4 canines to come in.  We are enjoying the nice weather so we can get out and play .  Running up and down the hill (in her wagon or on foot) is a big hit as is swinging.  She's just so darn busy.  Soon all of her jibberish will turn into words and she'll never be quiet again :)   I really wish my grandparents and Jim's dad could see her.
