Jan 2012... What are we up to?

This year started so quickly it was like being struck by lightning. We got home from a great trip to see our family and got right back into the craziness of Law School. This month has gone by so fast I can't believe we are already heading into February. We had a lot keeping us busy this month but we also had a lot to celebrate. Phil was working overtime on his Moot Court preparations but after all that work he won the entire competition, undefeated. We are incredibly proud of him. So the hard work was all worth it. Hopefully February will be a little more relaxed ... here's to hoping!

Libby has become such a big girl. She is a wonder. Here are a few pictures of what she has been doing lately. Her favorite things are painting, watching movies, reading ( of course), playing outside in the puddles and eating puffy cheetos.

This is Libby's best friend ,Giraffe, she has been sleeping with him since she was a newborn. He has a little music box inside that Libby has just recently figured out how to turn all by herself. This is a picture of them , as Libby puts it , " Just hanging out together."

Libby adores her Daddy and hopes to be just like him when she grows up. This is a picture of her doing her best Daddy impression. She climbed up on his desk and said " Mom, I need to get some work done, I need to do some emails for a little bit." So she wrote some emails on the computer but of course, in true law school fashion, she had to take notes on her legal pad at the same time. She was sitting up there for so long I finally came in and said " Libby its time to take a break and go eat some lunch."

She replied" Mom, sometimes when dad is working you bring him a sandwich at his desk."

I laughed and said " Do you want me to bring you a sandwich at your desk, while you are working?"

Libby just nodded and said " close the door , I'm busy."

What a little crazy kid. Now I've two of them hiding out in that back room.....

One of Libby's favorites is to do Mom and Dads hair. Usually she prefers Mom's long hair but after I get soaking wet and need a break Dad is always nice enough to step in and take a turn.

Libby just loves her sunglasses. It doesn't matter that it is the middle of winter outside. She is just too sassy for silly logic like " Libby it is dark outside, you don't need those." For girls this cool it is never too dark outside for shades.

Thanks to Rapunzel and Libby's friend Claire. Liberty has become quite the painter. She has always been really good at coloring and coordination but with a paint brush she is amazing. She loves to paint flowers and smiles. She is always taking requests so if you are in ever in need of a great work of art we would love to send you one- just let us know.

She is growing up so fast. We just love her and can't wait to see what she will say and do next.
