You might not be able to tell in this picture, but Katie's hair is long enough to put it all in pigtails. It is so cute. She loves these sunglasses. Her Grandma Irma gave them to her. Katie is still spending most of her time entertaining me.
She is currently on a granola and yogurt diet. She wants it for most meals. I am limiting it to just breakfast and a snack per day, but she really enjoys it. The granola has raspberries in it, and she tries to say raspberries. It is cute. After all, raspberry is a long, complicated word, so when it comes out as "rabspr" I think it is pretty close. Okay, it might not even be that close. But I know what she means, so it is easy to interpret is as such. Ryan heard it, and didn't have a clue what she had said.
We got so much snow Wednesday. Ryan hasn't been feeling well, (his throat hurts, he has a cold or something) so he couldn't shovel the driveway before he left for work yesterday, and the snow showed tracks from the bottom of the car on it. So, it was at least as high as the undercarriage of the car.
I have been following the advice of Elder Eyring. I write a few lines each night that show how God has shown His hand in my life for that day. I think it is a great idea. It helps me go to bed feeling grateful for ALL that God has done for me and my family. On the downside, I haven't felt like writing much here, because most of the good stuff is in my notebook, and who wants to read a blog that isn't upbeat or positive?
Also, we are expecting our 2nd baby, and I just really haven't felt much like doing anything. We are very excited, but I'm a little scared that I have forgotten how to take care of a baby, and when it comes, I'll forget to hold it's head or something. I guess I'll only forget once, right? :)
Anyways, the winter is never a really energizing time for me, along with the lack of energy that the baby is draining from me has proved to be a slightly depressing combination. Luckily, the sun is shining more, and the first trimester is over. I am feeling happier and have more energy. My outlook is better, I feel like Spring will actually come, and I'm more positive about the baby. Life is good again. Of course, it is always good. I'm going to have another baby! Hurray!

Hey, Marissa. It is so fun to hear about Katie and about you. Thanks for sharing.
Wow. Congratulations on #2! I know what you mean about the winter. It really gets to me, too. I feel a relief when warm weather comes.
Good job on keeping the journal. This is horrible, but I haven't written in my journal since a few days before I got married. I'm overwhelmed at the idea of catching up. Blogging isn't a great substitute, but sometimes I forget that.
Good luck in this pregnancy. I'm sure you won't forget what to do. It's like riding a bicycle, right?
What do I know, though. I still believe babies come from storks.
thanks for the update. even though i totally understand the journal thing taking priority its nice for all your friendly stalkers to hear from you. :)
and, of course, congrats from me also on #2! i can only echo what hillary said in terms of wishing you well with the pregnancy and all that. katie is adorable by the way.
oh, and you are welcome to come visit me in sunny LA any time you get sick of winter gloom and snow. :)
Katie is so cute. Jonathan came home from St. George raving over how adorable she is! He had some cute camera videos to show me :-). I'm glad we're having a boy, because it's harder to compare him to Katie!
