nana and papa came for a visit in early december.
it was so fun to have them here.
they gave jon and i the amazing gift of watching the girls for a couple nights while we escaped to palm springs to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.
it was a fun and much needed break.

haidyn loves to talk.
she talks nonst0p, really. especially when it’s just her and i in the car.
quite often, in the middle of her rambling, she will belt out ‘i love you mommy’ and then continue on with her jabbering.
one day as haidyn and i were on our way to pick up irelynd from school, the following conversation ensued:
haidyn (who had been talking incessantly since we left): ‘mommy, i love you’
me: ‘i love you too, haidyn.’ thanks for telling me you love me’
haidyn: ‘well…actually.. sometimes when i’m talking and i can’t think of the next thing i want to say, i just like to say i love you.’
it was one of those conversations i would have done anything to have recorded.
precious and completely priceless.
love her.

on december 1st, we had the second annual, san diego area, water for christmas fundraising event.
it was a really nice evening that included great art, yummy food, and most importantly, raising awareness regarding the water crisis.
we are so excited that as a result of this event, almost $25,00o will be going to help provide clean water and sanitation education to the beautiful people of Sierra Leone through this amazing LWI project:

irelynd had her first piano recital back in early december.
she did a great job, and was not at all fazed by the 100 or so people in the audience.
