Busy!

Oh, blog, after such lovin’ last month I am feeling bad about my neglect! Alas. It is the holiday season and all my spare moments have been filled by (online) shopping and gift brainstorming, tree and decoration wrangling and family event planning, among other things. Tomorrow we are hosting a crowd of extended family for a casual holiday get-together, and I’m sure it will be lots of fun. We’ll see if the floor gets cleaned or the pile o mail filed(hidden), but there WILL be yummy food, at least!

Elsie and Delia are talking up a STORM, holy moly. I love this stage, but also am so sad to see babydom go. It is insane how fast they can pick up language though. I think often one will hear the other say something (and see our response) and then give it a go themselves. Which is the same as most devlelpomental things (sitting, crawling, walking, cup throwing), I’ve noticed. They are always right on each others heels with this stuff.

Here are a few pics from last week to tide you over until I get a proper post up:
