Better Late than Never?

well, I know it's been a very, very, very long time since I posted so....here we go! We have officially opened our practice! It's been very time consuming (hence no time for blogging) but fun. I am working up at the office part time. These last few weeks before the opening of the office I feel like I have been up there every second! We haven't found a house yet (really we haven't been looking) but we are starting to look now. AK is doing great. She is saying anything and everything she hears or can think of! I just love listening to her repeat anything we try to get her to. One of our favorites is "I'm a mess!" She likes to say this when we aren't paying attention because she knows she can get a laugh. We can't believe she is 18 mo old already. Another favorite pasttime of AK is dancing! She requests her favorite dance toon "No more monkeys jumping on the bed" daily. She will wake up from a nap and say "monkey, monkey, monkey" until you turn on the CD.
Anyway, Christmas was wonderful. Here are some pics from all of our different family christmases. I don't have pics of all of the get togethers at christmas but here are a few.
