5 months later...

So I have neglected the blog world!  I am sorry!!  Between working, BUSY season at work, Allie, Nick, Drew's wedding, holidays...jammed packed with activities!  We have two more hectic weekends in front of us and then we are ready for 7 full weeks in Lincoln just the three of us where we will finally get some quality bonding time.  We have a swim class lined up with Allie on Saturdays and also will be hitting up a story hour.

Being a working mom is a lot harder than I ever imagined.  So many (every) day I wish I could stay home with Allie and know her every move, instead I am the career woman.  Luckily, I am advancing nicely in work and getting lots of "fun" (in an Accountant's world "fun") opportunities to grow.  They have me sit in on all the planning meeting for the company and in February flying me out to San Diego to learn more about Financial Forecasting.  Exciting, right?!

Nick is plugging away at classes and getting his good grades!  He is diligently working so he graduates on time!

So here is the little person you really want to hear about!  ALLIE :)  She is our happy/smiley baby!  She seems to always be in a good mood with lots of smiles.  She loves to sing songs, roll around, sit up, grab at toys.  She is advancing right with the charts, not to early and not to late.  So, you think we have it easy?  Don't be fooled, she is a little challenge...due to the fact she does not like to nap!  Yes, so we have a baby who is on the go from 7am to 8pm with about a 1.5-2hr of naps (2 hours a day is an extremely good day!).  And her naps are cat naps, 30 min here, 15 min here, etc.  So Nick and I are always exhausted by 8pm at night!  Our doctor said the lucky parents get babies who like to nap.  Guess we are not lucky in that department.  Other than the napping situation she is our little angel!  Can't remember what life was like before her!

Below is a our trip to Orlando back in October!  We had such a good time, we are heading back in March, but this time just Nick, Allie, and I with a tour guide named Leigh.
