2. George is two! How crazy is that?
3. George got a play kitchen for his birthday. A play kitchen with a play sink and no running water. George has been working on that sink on a pretty regular basis. My favorite was when he took his toy drill, pushed the kitchen away from the wall, and started drilling the back of it. Maybe someday he will surprise me and give that play sink running water.
4. George's 2-year stats: weight- 25 lbs 10 oz (20th %ile); height- 34.25 inches (45th %ile); head circumference- 75th %ile.
5. We had a wonderful week-long visit from Marty's mom. George had a lot of fun while she was here. Since she left we've spent time looking at pictures and talking about how much we love and miss Grandma. George waves at the pictures too. :)
6. Grandpa Todd (Marty's dad) is going to be here for a quick visit later this week!
7. I have a calling in our new ward--I'm Personal Progress Specialist in Young Women. I'm excited for it--I love Personal Progress and Young Women!
8. I love our new house. Someday I will post pictures. I should probably have taken a bunch of pictures of the house while Marty's mom was here, cuz she helped the house look really nice!
9. Here's another Flagstaff story- back in December a member of Flagstaff Police Department was shot and killed in the line of duty. The response in Flagstaff was really incredible to me. Across town blue lights lit up porches in tribute to the officer. Thousands of dollars were donated to his family. On the day of his memorial service, as I took George to his babysitter's, I drove by where the cars for the processional were lining up. There was a line up of police cars over a mile long. Seriously. All with lights flashing. The most touching part to me was when I started reading where they were from-- Gilbert, Tucson, Prescott, Scottsdale, Yavapai County, Utah Highway Patrol, Phoenix, .... It was amazing. On my way after dropping George off, I was on a side street waiting as the processional passed. Wow. It still makes me a little teary-eyed to think about it.
10. George finally fits the little outfit I picked up for him back when I was still about 25 weeks pregnant and in Chinatown in San Francisco. How cute is he?
11. Bonus! Tonight Marty was headed out to run an errand or two. George waved called out with perfectly clear diction said, "Bye Dad!" So cute!
