Peyton was very disappointed when she found
out we wouldn't be going to visit cousin Charlie
today. We compromised by giving him a call.
Their phone call lasted a whopping 10 minutes
and consisted of 4 year old chatter. After she
hung up, I said "Wow, you guys sure talked for
a long time!" to which she replied "Well, that's
because we love each other!".
On Jan 5 - after talking about it for
weeks - we decided that we'd paint the spare
bedroom and move Aimee into it. 
A big reason for the move was this huge desk.
It's perfect to help keep all her craft and
scrapbooking stuff organized.
Curt even finished the closet. Wall to wall
shelves inside. Now she has no excuse for a
messy room!
We moved her old desk into the rec room. It's
already damaged from years of abuse, so it'll
be just fine for Peyton for the next few years!
And our main reason for the move...making the
largest bedroom in the house into a mini home
gym. We still have some stuff we want to add,
but it's great for those times when I'm too
busy to make it to the gym!
You probably can't tell from the picture, but
Ruby's grown a lot. 15 weeks and 28.5lbs - she's
almost doubled her weight in the 5 weeks
we've had her. 
More pictures from Aimee's birthday. Much
to her dismay, the first day back to school
happened to be the same day.
She got tons of craft supplies from us... paints,
pastels, canvases, brushes, art paper, etc.
Today she celebrated her birthday with Maggie
and Johanna
