Remembering Grandma Audrey

One year ago today...we miss you!

Announcement

I would just like to deny any involvement with Tiger Woods.

Uh oh!

that girl

So, I wake up this morning and put on my skinny jeans, boyfriend cardigan, Ugg boots, puffy coat, then grab my iPod, make a pitstop at Starbucks for my Vente Mocha and I am all ready for another day on campus.

This is for SIL Ellen...

Mommy Bobby

a very kind girl

Nor must be watching The Hills because she now has all of us calling each other our name-Bobby (although she says, "Boppy"). Nori Bobby loves to joke around so Daddy Bobby and I play along. We have no idea where gets her offbeat sense of humor from. Yesterday, Us-Bobbies did some Christmas shopping, put up our tree, and snuggled up to watch the classic, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer.

SPOILER ALERTS: Norelle Bobby was loving it, squealing at every reindeer and elf, until the Abominable Snow Monster came on at which time she started trembling, crying, and clinging to us. We tried to calm her down but the only relief was to fast forward it until he was over, but even today, all she remembers about Rudolph is "I scared!!!!". We have a real sensitive girl, a bit of a worrier, actually. We did enjoy the classic Frosty the Snowman today (twice) but she really picked up on the emotional parts like when the rabbit, Hocus Pocus, was mad and when the little girl, Karen, was sad because her BFF melted in a greenhouse. First Nemo, now this.

My soulmates

p.s. I got a new camera, finally one with a flash!

Snow Bunny!

Don't you just love these pics of my best friend/daughter/obsession? Don't worry, it's totally healthy. I just LOVE her!

We are enjoying our only weekend in December with no plans. Ahhh! Last night we bought a Christmas tree at Menard's which was still wrapped up so we had no way of knowing what it really looked like but the price was good, so we took a leap of faith. Apparently, this tree has scoliosis as it has 4 separate bends in the trunk and is really full on the top but kinda sparse on the bottom...Jake thought maybe we had it in upside down? Today we will decorate, drink apple cider, listen to NOW That's What I Call Christmas Volume 3 CD 2 and be merry. And married.

Even though Nori seems like such a big girl much of the time, she did the cutest baby thing last night! After we got our tree, we drove over to Chipotle in Highland Park and she crashed in the car. She could not wake up even in the noisy, bright restaurant so she actually slept on the booth next to us while we ate burritos. She hasn't done anything like that since she was 6 months old but it''s likely due to the fact she won't sleep during naptime anymore. She just jumps and talks. And in case you can't hear that fact for yourself , she yells "I TALKING! I JUMPING"!! Then, when I come into her room, she quickly flops down and covers her head with her blanket pretending to be asleep.

See why I LOVE her?

What is that smell?

My mother told me there was a perfume called Norelle so today I Googled it. Guess what I found? A perfume called Norell!



Guess what else I found? A perfume called Eau De Seltz!
