Even though it was raining there were still enough contestants in the show to make it interesting. Our adorable duo won second in "funniest trick", "best trained" and "costume" and first in "look-a-like" category. A total of nine dollars in winnings, enough for a new dog toy, perhaps? Callie had a great time, was very proud of her pup and made plans to enter again next year...but with a dog AND a cat. <br />

As Yoo-Hoo says, "Looky, looky, looky!" I am finally posting Disney pictures! (Let's not mention the fact that I skipped from August to March to do so. Hopefully I can back blog and fill in the months in the middle sometime.) I have spent LITERALLY HOURS going through pictures. When I went to Europe for two months in college, I came home with about sixteen rolls of film. I think that between my camera and Steve's, we have that beat from just six days at Disney. I decided it would be best to divide the pictures up into categories or themes. Today is "Characters!". The characters at Disney were probably the most exciting part for Callie, although she also loved the rides which is another theme for later. Mimi had an autograph book ready and I brought a Sharpie so getting to see as many characters as possible, without sacrificing all our time to lines, became the name of the game. This goal was made easier by several character-themed meals. We missed a few (mainly Merida, who had a giant line at all times since she is the newest Disney princess), but we will be sure to fill in the gaps next time! Here is my little character getting to meet all her favorite Disney characters.</div>

Later that day, Callie got all "princessed up" and we stood in line to meet Cinderella before heading up to the dining room in her castle to meet other princesses over lunch.

Here's the money shot! Meaning: here is what made the whole trip worth the money for Mimi and Yoo-Hoo!<br />

My favorite was Tiana. I was almost giddy getting to meet her and I thought she was the most exquisite of them all. The pictures don't do her justice. She had the sweetest southern accent and her gown was gorgeous! And she gave Callie lots of big, feet off the ground, hugs.<br />

Callie spelled her name out for Tiana when she was introducing herself which the Princess got a big kick out of .<br />

After we left, Callie said, "And mommy, she sounded just like the movie so that means she is real!" Good enough argument!</div>

Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel had their own meeting spot in the park with lines that were never shorter than an hour. Fortunately, they also had fast passes for seeing them so we were able to get one of those and shorten our wait to about 15 minutes. Callie got to meet Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty again but most importantly, she got to meet Rapunzel! Callie is watching Tangled right now, as I write the post. She watches it several times a week. She varies it up by watching it in different languages. Today's choice is Spanish! </div>

No mention of characters would be complete without including probably the most interesting one in all the park that day. If you look to the center back of this picture you can see an 18 year old girl dressed like Cinderella. And in her hands is a Tiana gown. And next to her, in the blue shirt with the big bag, is the faithful mother and probably her biggest <strike>enabler </strike> fan. We watched this girl in line and I snuck this picture of her. From eavesdropping on conversations they were having with people around them, they were using this opportunity to get senior pictures. She was getting her senior pictures done standing next to the princesses she was dressed like. And, by the way this poor disillusioned girl pranced around, she was pretty confident that she was the fairest of them all. Unfortunately, we did not get to see her actually with Cinderella or I would have been taking pictures of that too!<br />
<br />
<br />
No, I'm not done yet. There are many more characters to go and even some more royalty. So, refill or renuke your coffee, take a potty break and then read on...<br />

If you don't have a young girl then you probably have no idea how important the Disney Fairies have become. We got to meet Rosetta and Tinkerbell. We saw Terrence (Tinkerbell's little boyfriend) pass up in the park but were never able to meet him and Callie was disappointed about that! Again, maybe next time!<br />

Our final evening was spent having dinner with Cinderella and her family at the Grand Floridian. Callie got a special early birthday surprise from Aunt Miss and Uncle Scott before dinner started. She now has her own set of mice (Gus-Gus, Jaq and Mary) and Lucifer (the step-mother's cat). She especially loves Lucifer!</div>

Callie has a talking United States puzzle that tells the capitals as each state is correctly placed. It is light sensitive so every night when I turn off the living room lights the puzzle goes nuts and I get to learn one or two new states and capitals! I am pretty well-known for my lack of geography knowledge. But I do know where Utah is now and I know Salt Lake City is the capital and I know that it is a beautiful state, crawling with Mormons, but containing a big piece of my heart. Callie puts her puzzle together often and every time she puts Utah in place she tells me that it really isn't THAT far away. She also says the same thing about Oklahoma where her friend Sara moved to recently. After asking a few follow-up questions, I figured out that Callie says these states are not too far away because, in her own words, "if they aren't far away then we don't have to be sad" that Brighton and Sara are there. So today, as I wonder when I will get to go back to Utah and because Callie has asked me many times the last few weeks when she can see her cousins again, I am reminiscing about our trip there seven months ago. I am VERY behind on blogging but I don't even care at this point. I hope to catch up so that I can have all my memories in order and so that I can post our Disney pics in a timely manner. We shall see. So, here are pictures of Utah and the four "non-Mo's" (non-Mormons) that keep part of my heart hostage there.</div>

"I like this ride!" is what Callie had to say about her very first time on a plane. Matt was with us from Norfolk to Chicago but then we split up and he flew to SF to meet his friends for his Yosemite adventure.</div>

One night was spent listening to a Reggae band up at a ski resort. I believe this was when the first of MANY boo-boos happened. Brighton busted the corner of her eye while being silly and after that, we had a bloody incident each day. But before the accident, she had fun showing off her groovy moves!</div>

Another fun outing was to the skate rink where we could rent skates for Becky and me and a scooter for Callie. The kids switched back and forth between scooters to skates and neither girl could really do much without us helping them. But they finally took a break and Becky and I got to skate a few laps together. Callie's first big boo-boo was a scooter incident in the driveway. She took off downhill with no hesitation and slid off the scooter and into the car. <br />

A lot of time was spent in Becky and Jon's backyard (which had the obnoxiously beautiful view see above). Callie fell down the ladder of the play house and busted her chin and then another day got a foot full of thorns from taking her shoes off where she wasn't supposed to. The scar on her chin appears in some pictures. Some photos have been photoshopped to hide it.<br />

We picked up Matt from the airport one evening and enjoyed listening to his Yosemite stories, especially the bear story, on the ride home. Matt spent three days hiking in Yosemite with his friends before joining us in Utah. The main purpose of the trip was to climb Half-Dome. Here are three pics of his trip:<br />

Brighton is missing from this picture because she fell and busted her nose on the rocks, bloodying up her pretty yellow dress. It was our last night there but NOT the last of the boo-boos! Callie ended the trip by knocking over a set of moose salt and pepper shakers in the airport gift shop and cutting her finger on one of them. It bled a lot and got all over both of us before I knew what had happened.<br />

The final night we also had a little birthday party for Will. We gave him several movies, one of which was Megamind. Then we all stayed up late to watch it. I just loved how eager the kids were to sit on top of or next to each other where ever they went. They were like siblings. And then occasionally fought like siblings too!<br />

This July lake time is becoming a family tradition that we all plan for and look forward to way ahead of time. So, I was devastated when Callie became very ill the day we were supposed to drive to the lake. She improved enough for us to make the drive there but ended up sick most of the trip. She had a bad cold that went into a throat infection which was probably caused from a terrible bought of car sickness on our way from VB to Richmond the night before going to the lake. And, unfortunately, we were not able to contain the germs and sweet Brighton got sick a few days before having to fly back to Utah. But looking back at the pictures makes all the negative parts of the visit diminish and I am glad to have some pictures of smiles and fun cousin memories. <br />

We are in what I hope will be the final hours of Hurricane Sandy. It has been raining for DAYS and we are all feeling a little cooped up. Callie is sick with a cold, so I guess the timing is fine for that! So now is a great time to reflect back on warmer days of being out and about! So here is our June from this summer.</div>

Allison's house used to be a wonderland of toys that I didn't have growing up (not that I was lacking in toys! She just had different ones from me!) Abigail's house is proving to be the same thing to Callie and the best part are all the dress-up clothes!</div>

Another fun June event for us was a bowling playdate with friends from church. Only the kids bowled, which was fine by me since I am so terrible at it! Maybe I will try the ramp next time I have to bowl.<br />

And our first trip was to N. Myrtle where we got really "revved" up over Black Bikers Week. This was our first time experiencing this event that happens every Memorial Day weekend at a beach near N.Myrtle. It was...well...an eye full in many many ways! After the first weekend, the bikers pulled out and things got quieter and calmer. We had wonderful weather and even had some extra special guests at the end of the week. Matt's Aunt and Uncle, Don and Laura, and Ma-Maw drove down for the second weekend. It was so much fun to spend that extra time with them and for Callie to get to see them in a new environment. It was a fun way to start out our summer and was a much needed break for Matt after a busy few months of work.<br />

I had her stand next to her height chart, and sure enough, she has grown two inches since her 3rd birthday. Which reminded me, I never finished posting pictures of Spring, including her trip to the doctor in May for her three year check-up. This visit was momentous because Callie wore her monogrammed scrubs and brought her doctor kit. Both her nurse, Rachel, and Dr. Springer loved seeing her in her little scrubs and enjoyed the tables being turned as they "endured" a check-up from Dr. Callie Spiers. Dr. Springer said that in all her years practicing, this was the first time a patient had come in with scrubs and given her a check-up. Callie's stats were: height: 36 1/2" and weight: 32 1/4 lbs. Thanks Aunt Missy and Dr. Uncle Scott for the doc stuff! <br />
<br />
The rest of the pictures in this post are from Mother's Day. I had a very pleasant day this year with lots of spoiling and rest. Callie gave me a pajama "set" that she picked out for me. It included a Tweety Bird t-shirt and some Looney Toons shorts. The shorts were VERY small because Callie insisted on buying them even though they really didn't have my size. When I put them on that night she said, "That's my shirt I bought for you, Mommy? And I gave you those undies too?" So apparently the shorts were a little too short! I will just keep them in the drawer for memories! Also, on Mother's Day, I had the opportunity to get some great pics of Callie all dressed up for church in a pretty dress Nana bough her. Steve had left his camera here by accident the week before so I took advantage of having it and subjected Callie and Poe to a long photo session. Enjoy the pics! Many more to come as I attempt to catch up and hundreds of summer adventure shots soon! Oh, and since Callie's legs are growing so tall, she thinks that means she is big enough to do certain things like drive my car. <br />

My house is now completely organized (garage excluded) and relatively clean. I am not teaching art lessons right now and we are in between trips out of town. Callie and Matt are watching Barbie movies together and the house is nice and quiet. In other words, I finally have a minute to sit down and blog! And I have many months to catch up on. So...here is the rest of our April!</div>

There is a really sweet lady at the gym who gives Matt presents for Callie now and then. In April, she gave us tickets to Barnum and Bailey Circus at the Scope. Neither Matt and I had been to the circus in YEARS so we were as excited as Callie. A lot has changed since our childhood circus days. One thing that we don't remember having the benefit of was the pre-show festivities. We were able to walk through the below stage exhibition area to see the animals close-up and then join the clowns in the center of the floor for an array of performances. This part of the circus was so fun that we felt like we could have left before showtime and still have had a great night. But we stayed for most of the circus and had an even more wonderful time.</div>

Watching the lions and tigers be released from their cages and play together was my favorite part. They would wrestle with each other just like Chester and Ollie. Cats are cats, no matter how big.<br />

We had many of these tiger moments after the circus. Callie was a tiger for weeks after, begging for us to build cages for her. Then she went back to being a puppy and has been building dog houses since.<br />

We loaded up the car and made a three part drive to visit Michelle and Scott in Indianapolis at the end of April. We stopped in Richmond, then on the mountain and finally made it to Indy the third day. The way back was shorter, with just one overnight stop on the mountain. It was a long trip but thanks to dramamine, it was fairly easy and enjoyable. And we loved Indianapolis and had a great time visiting Callie-approved attractions while there.<br />

While in Indy, we also went to the zoo. This lovely photo was taken to remember the spot where Callie puked as soon as we arrived. She had gotten car sick on the drive into the city. She made it through the parking lot and into the zoo but I think watching the seals swim in the tank by the entrance did her in! Without thinking, I went into full mommy comfort mode and held her while she threw up all over me. Fortunately, I had extra clothes for her but no extra coat and it was cold! But Aunt Missy came to the rescue and bought her this purple zoo sweatshirt. I wiped off my clothes the best I could, tried to dry them under the hand-dryers in the bathroom and just thanked God regularly that we were at a zoo where things smelled worse than me!<br />

This guy was our favorite part. He was particularly active that day because of the cooler weather and spent the whole time pacing in front of the glass. It was amazing to get just a few inches from his face and be able to see that much detail. He is definitely thinking I look plump and juicy in his picture.<br />

This was a shark petting tank. It was full of little dog sharks. Matt really wanted Callie to pet one but she could not be convinced. He told her they were little and her response was, "They have teeth too, Daddy!" Smart girl!<br />

We had such a wonderful time in Indianapolis and look forward to going back again before Michelle moves on to a new city. This was the lion drawing that Callie did all on her own to send to Michelle. She traced various round lids for the circles and did it all before I even had a chance to help her!<br />

In the past two years we have found a great church and church family and we decided that it was about time that we got our "not so infant" baptized to symbolize our commitment to raising her to know and love Jesus. We also felt very blessed to have both our parents and Michelle, with us for this event. And after church, we we got to enjoy the company of some of the people who have been such a blessing to us, one of my "besties", Mary, and her kids. It was a really special day! <br />

I know I give my father-in-law a hard time about his picture taking skills, especially when the boring photos are of me half-asleep. But he usually takes many more good photos than bad and this weekend, he really outdid himself. There are so many wonderful photos and I keep looking at them over and over. I am so thankful that he was out there snapping pictures because I was so busy socializing and running back and forth that I wouldn't have been able to take many at all. We had a wonderful turnout for the party and it was a nice day to be outside. Ryan, the balloon guy (who we would all like to adopt into our family) was a huge hit and a great surprise for Callie. I think she is his biggest fan and he seems to be pretty attached to her too! There is not much more to say that can't be said through pictures instead, but I do have to thank Dreama, Michelle, Steve, Mom and Dad for all their help making the party a success. Matt and I were both thrilled with how it all turned out and we owe much of that to you! Glad you were all there to celebrate our baby big girl turning three(she doesn't want to lose the "baby" title yet)! <br />

Before the party, Callie got her big present from Mimi and Yoo-Hoo. This helped keep her occupied while the rest of us worked in shifts to get things ready.<br />

I am not sure what season we just came out of but it was definitely NOT winter. This snow baby barely saw a flake and most days were not even cold enough to wear my new brown coat. Oh well! Spring is so wonderful and we have so much going on that I don't really care. But the winter flew by so fast that I barely blogged. So here is a quick overview of our winter events. Looking back, it was a wonderful winter with very few illnesses and lots of time to relax. <br />
<br />
<br />
The first big event of year 2012 for us was Callie's cast removal. I would have to sum up Callie's attitude about her injury, and her cooperation with her doctors throughout all the treatments, as AMAZING. She rarely complained about her cast, adjusted quickly and was very still and smiley through the cast removal. So when she didn't immediately walk normal the day after having it removed, I was a little worried. The doctors assured us that it would take about a month for her to fully recover and not drag her leg like a zombie. Just when we thought the doctors might be wrong, she suddenly walked normal. It was so sudden, I didn't even notice until my friend Mary pointed it out! And it was at the one month mark, so I guess the doctors do know a thing or two!<br />

Potty Training. Those words haunt me right now. Callie is well behind all her friends in this area and just before getting her cast off, we thought she was almost there. But after getting her cast off, she seemed to forget the whole point of it. I took her out to buy the undies and the princess pull-ups and she was very proud of them. But after a week of accidents and frustration, I decided to wait until after her birthday to continue. I am hoping that three will be the magic number and it will all click. Many moms have assured me that was the case for their kids. So, to be continued on this one...</div>

We welcomed another cat into our family this winter, but fortunately, this one doesn't need a litter box. Callie has become obsessed with the new Disney show "The Octonauts" and her favorite character is Kwazii. The toys haven't hit the US yet and she was carrying around a paper picture of him everywhere. I decided it was a time to get out my new sewing machine my parents got me for Christmas and make her a "real" Kwazii. She loves it and sleeps with him every night.</div>

The only memorable sickness for us this winter was a painful sinus infection for me. I also had a cavity filled an another filling replaced and ended up with terrible jaw pain for over a month after the procedure. <br />

Callie got a new room complete with a big girl bed AND a visit from the paci-fairies who took away all her pacifiers and left her a princess in their places. (Pictures of her new room will be posted later). Both of these events were pretty traumatic in their impact on all our sleep. The first week or two of no pacifiers were horrible. Lots of screaming and crying, and not just from Callie! Eventually she got used to sleeping in her bed and without pacifiers BUT one of us still has to lay there with her until she falls asleep. And at some point every night, she comes into our room. For a while this was a real problem because we just didn't have enough room for three fat cats and a toddler who likes to sleep across the bed. But she has recently created what she calls her "Tiger Bed" which is a line of pillows on the floor by my side. Now she comes in during the night and sleeps on those pillows. I only have to wake up long enough to cover her up. <br />

To ensure that she goes to sleep before midnight (no exaggeration) we also had to take away her nap. As a result, we sometimes we find her asleep at odd times during the day.<br />

If Callie isn't pretending to be a tiger or a cat, she is a puppy, spreading dog slobber cheer and building dog houses with our cushions and blankets. She recently licked a nursery worker twice during church. And when I went into Dominoes to pick-up a pizza the other night, she sat on a chair like a cat and meowed the entire time. (She also had drawn whiskers on herself before we left the house). She's getting a reputation for being very 'into' her characters!<br />

And that pretty much sums up our winter! Just in time for a big birthday party!</div>Amanda Taylor Spiershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03459947190348812789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841362507476731318.post-82431639527137791672012-02-27T17:30:00.000-05:002012-02-27T17:35:17.319-05:00Snippet: My HairdresserI am starting a new segment of my blog called "Snippets". I realized that, since I am regularly behind on blogging because it takes so long to get pictures together and write about a picture worthy event, I am missing the little everyday things that I won't have pictures to help me remember. One of my main reasons for blogging is to record my memories of Callie's childhood. So my "snippets" will likely be short, image-free and possibly out of chronological order. Basically, they are posted on a whim and are meant to help me remember something Callie did. So, after a much too wordy introduction, here is my first snippet. I call it "My Hairdresser".<br />
<br />
Today, my hairdresser smelled like Captain Crunch and didn't bother to get out of her Minnie Mouse pajamas before she came to work. She spilled out all her hair bows on the floor and then decided to use my clips instead. She brushed my hair in a style she kept referring to as, "Up, up and away!" and once she had it all brushed forward, over my face, she commented on how much I looked like a puppy. One might assume that it was quite relaxing having someone brush and "style" my hair. But my stylist's methods include excruciating twisting, a strange scrunching technique and what she calls "making a bow" but is really her trying to tie strands of hair in a knot. I also have to regularly answer the same question, "All pretty yet, mommy?" and if I say, "I don't know, am I?" the answer is always, "No...still brushing". I am not sure if I am not yet pretty because the brushing is not complete or if the continued brushing is a result of the fact that I am not yet pretty. I don't recommend this hairdresser if you are really in need of an ego boost!Amanda Taylor Spiershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03459947190348812789noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841362507476731318.post-6344428278396190932012-02-21T12:09:00.001-05:002012-02-21T13:19:57.453-05:00B.B.A. (Bad Bloggers Anonymous...well, not so anonymous!)<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
My name is Amanda and I am a bad blogger. It all started back when my baby became
mobile then transitioned rapidly from crawling to walking and then climbing. My more recent bout of bad blogging was triggered by seome new Callie Mae challenges,
hence a blog about Christmas in late February.
Since my last post, many events have transpired.
The happiest event was that Callie got her cast off. I will blog more about that at a later date
and post pictures (I like to keep them all in order). But Callie’s cast is off and she is now walking normally. Her leg is regaining muscle and any evidences
of injury are quickly fading. Thank you, Lord! For a few weeks there she had a
terrible limp and would drag her right foot like Frankenstein. But she gradually improved and was all
better within the time frame that the doctors gave us. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Other big changes for us have involved sleeping and,
well, not sleeping. Callie now has a big
girl bed (more on that later too) and does not use her pacifiers anymore to
sleep. That was a fun (not really)
transition. One day, the mean ol’ paci
fairy just took all those paci’s away and left a princess toy in their
place. The princess toy was fun until
bedtime and we spent a week exhaustedly trying to convince Callie that it was
okay to fall asleep without something in her mouth. In the process, I decided that we just had to stop letting her
nap because she was sleeping better during the day than at night and wouldn’t
go to sleep until after midnight some nights.
We were all grumpy and worn out.
So, now we have a child who goes to sleep fairly easily at a normal kid
bedtime. We still have to lay down with
her to get her to sleep and she ends up in our bed at some point every night,
but we are at least getting her to bed at a decent time and are getting our
time back at night. But, no nap means that I
no longer get any Callie free moments during the day (especially since the
taking away of paci’s has made her even more mommy-dependent). That is a big reason why I have not been able to blog
much! Right now, Callie is at her
Little Gym class with Nana and Papa and so I figured now would be a great time
to post the rest of Christmas photos.
Especially since the ones I haven’t posted yet are of Nana and
Papa! So, hopefully the recent snowy
weather that everyone (except VB residents, BOO-HOO!) enjoyed is putting you in
the mood for Christmas memories! </span><br />

Mimi and Yoo-Hoo and Autnt Missy had gotten Callie this zoo last year but we all decided it had too many little parts to give it to her then. She was old enough for it this year and all those little parts took me HOURS to put together. But the result is a very cool zoo!</div>

We left for Nana and Papa's house on Wednesday after Christmas. Callie was anxious to tear into presents as soon as she got there. This is her "cheese" face! Now I really regret teaching her to say that for pictures because she makes this face as soon as she sees the camera come out.<br />

The pictures in this post are from the 23rd and 24th and all the Spiers' family activities that we crammed into those two days. On the 23rd, we bundled up (but not too much because of this unusually mild winter) and spent the evening at Christmas Town at Busch Gardens. We have decided to make this trip a tradition but we have also decided to only do it on a week night or after Christmas from now on. We had a wonderful time but it was very crowded this year compared to last year when Matt, Callie and I went on a Wednesday night. The main agenda for the evening was to get Santa to sign Callie's cast, and that we accomplished and we have some really sweet pictures to remember it by. Callie also enjoyed this trip because she was old enough to ride a few of the little rides and also because she is extremely into Christmas lights! Then next day, Christmas Eve, was packed full of present opening and eating and visiting with Pa and the crew in Carson. We started off the day with opening our presents from Mimi and Yoo-Hoo and each other. Then, we rushed around to shower and prepare food for Pa's house and had a great evening spending time with Matt and Michelle's cousins and spouses, uncle and, of course, Pa. The highlight of Christmas Eve for Callie was no doubt getting a train table from Pa. She had been asking for one for months and that was what she told Santa she wanted. I think she was a little confused about the logistics of Santa and Pa and how they worked together to get her the table, but now, when I ask her, she always says that Pa got it for her and I think this will be a Christmas Eve she will always remember. And since we have a ridiculous amount of video and photos of her opening the train table, I don't think she has a choice about remembering!<br />

Callie already new all about this bracelet that Mimi and Yoo-Hoo got Missy because she had opened it the day before when we left her unattended in the living room! Of all the gifts, she went right for the jewelry! Even little girls know that those little boxes are the best!<br />

Callie and Missy made Reindeer cupcakes to take to Pa's. They were so cute and Callie would put each one up to her mouth and pretend to eat it before putting it in the container. She had to wait until she got to Pa's and ate supper before she could have one and she could barely stand it!<br />

And then it was time to disassemble the table so that Yoo-Hoo could load it up and bring it to our house the next day. Callie was confused by this and told me that night, once we got home, that she hoped Santa would bring her a train table on Christmas morning. I don't think she completely understood that the train table was hers and not Pa's until it was delivered and set up in our living room. She has played with it a long time almost everyday and is currently telling her trains to "stay on the track" as I write this blog post. It is definitely the gift that keeps on giving...for me!<br />

It is fun looking back through them all, though, and it helps me to realize how many wonderful people we have in our lives and how gracious God has been to us during Callie's recovery from her broken leg. She is scheduled to have it removed in three days (her cast, not her leg!) and we are very excited! She has done amazingly well with her little handicap and it really hasn't slowed her down much. Having so much to occupy her through the month of December really helped it to go by faster. Here are some of the happenings for us from mid-December and up to the week before Christmas. And, of course, there will be a bunch more posts to follow of all our Christmas activities.<br />

<b>Christmas Portraits: </b>We actually had these pictures taken in November to give as gifts and to use in our Christmas cards. Good thing we got them taken when we did because shortly afterwards, she got a stomach virus, a cold and then broke her leg.</div>

<b>Our Grace Presbyterian Family: </b>We were overwhelmed with support, prayers and donations of toys to help keep Callie occupied during her time with the cast. I asked for some loans of puzzles or videos and ended up coming home from church with a car full of them! Callie could barely wait to start working them and pulled them out in the entryway as soon as we stepped into the house. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful and loving church family! (side note: I cut about three inches off Callie's hair soon after this picture, as you can see in other pics in this post.) </div>

<b>Special Friends: </b>Callie has two favorite people her age. Her cousin Brighton, who she always connects with immediately, and her local "bestie" Sara. She and Sara have the normal love-scream "mine!"-then hug it out toddler relationship. Sara is a December baby so Callie got to enjoy an evening eating pink princess cake and helping unwrap presents with Sara and her brothers. We gave Sara a princess castle that Callie was obviously envious of! Good thing Mommy was already planning to give her one for Christmas!</div>

This is Callie and Sara at our house enjoying their nuggets and fries and what I am sure is some very intelligent conversation. Sara comes over pretty regularly now for play dates since I am finding it is easier to get things done around here with two toddlers who can occupy each other rather than one just following me around and begging for attention.<br />
<br />
<b>Decorating: </b>Callie especially loved decorating for Christmas this year. I put one of our trees up while she was napping and when she woke up and saw it she squealed with glee like it was the best thing she had ever seen. She was also a great help. She put a good amount of the ornaments on herself and we had a great time laughing at her particular placements of several of them. She would usually hang five or six ornaments on one spot on the garland. We would wait until later to space them out. <br />

Callie also helped me with two other trees. She put the little bulbs on the ceramic one, just like I always did when I was little. And she also enjoyed bringing me each of the different limbs for the smaller artificial tree we use in the living room. She helped organize all the limbs into pile by their colored tags and all I would have to do is ask for a several of whatever color and she would bring them to me. It made putting that tree up so much easier! I can't wait to see what kind of help she will be next year! (These picture are also pre-haircut, but you can see the difference in the next pictures.)<br />
<br />
<b>My Little Elf: </b> Callie was also a great help with making and wrapping presents. She painted three birdhouses for Nana, Yoo-Hoo and Ma-maw and she was in charge of putting the bows on the presents I wrapped. Several presents were wrapped mostly by her. Those were pretty obvious because they have more than one kind of wrapping paper on them.<br />

<b>Uncle Donnie's Visit: </b>The week before Christmas, Matt's uncle Donnie came in to visit from Missouri. He brought Pa up to Richmond for a nice dinner at Matt's parents' house. Callie and Pa had a great time working puzzles together. He tickled her for every piece she got right, and since she is very good at puzzles, that was a lot of tickles! This weekend visit to Richmond also give Callie and Mimi a chance to make their annual gingerbread cookies and then enjoy the results, over and over again!</div>

<b>Christmas Houses: </b> This will always be a year we will remember as the one where Callie first really started appreciating outdoor Christmas lights. She first started calling them "Halloween Houses" because she thought they were leftover lights from the previous holiday. But once we corrected her, "here's a Christmas house!" became her mantra during all evening car rides. We went, one evening, to have dinner at Friendly's in Chesapeake (the night she broke her leg, actually) and just in that 15-20 minute ride, I counted over 70 "here's a Christmas house!" statements. She was practically out of breath from pointing them all out. So she especially enjoyed Yoo-Hoo's annual Tacky Lights of Richmond tour this year. We were able to fit that in to the same weekend as Donnie and Pa's visit.</div>

We have not had the typical start to our holiday season that we expected. As we entered the week of Thanksgiving, we were already weary and worried because of a stomach virus that Callie had come down with at the end of the previous week. She continued to suffer from the virus even as we left for my parents house on that Wednesday. We thought she was improving but we ended up experiencing the longest trip to the lake so far because she whined and cried and seemed on the verge of vomiting the whole trip. She also had a terrible diaper rash that made it painful for her to sit for such a long time. Once we arrived at the lake, we discovered that she had a high fever that would not subside with just medicine and we had to put her in cold bath to bring it down. We were still worried about Callie's condition on Thanksgiving morning when we got a call from Sharon, Grandma's caretaker, that Grandma had finally stopped fighting the chronic infections she has had for the last year and had taken her last breath. Thankfully, Callie improved that day and we managed to put together a late Thanksgiving dinner after Mom and Dad returned from Sharon's house. We were all stressed, tired (and Mom and I were sick to our stomachs) throughout the Thanksgiving weekend as we prepared for Grandma's viewing and grave-side funeral. I was very proud of how my Mom held it together and made so many important decisions. Seeing family and spending time catching up with them was a highlight of the weekend but we were very much missing Becky and her family who were not able to fly in from Utah. Dreama and Steve came in to babysit Callie for us during the times we needed to be in Roanoke. Dreama was the angel of the weekend, working without complaint behind the scenes, cleaning and making delicious food. Matt, Callie and I got on the road Monday evening for what we hoped would be a relaxing drive to Richmond to spend the night and then head home the next day. But our trip was complicated by a minor accident at a Wendy's where a broken hinge caused a heavy door to slam into Callie's head. She was in pain the rest of the trip and ended up getting carsick about 15 minutes from Matt's parents' house. Next came arriving home on Tuesday and realizing that Callie and I were both coming down with messy colds. We spent a few days house bound and snotty and were finally getting back to normal by the beginning of this week. But this past Tuesday, Dec. 6th, while walking around on the deck and playing with leaves, Callie slipped and fell and then cried that cry that all parents know means trouble. We rushed her to the ER and spent almost four hours there, returning home after 1 a.m. with a pitiful little girl in pain and wearing a splint. Her very uneventful fall was just enough to cause a spiral fracture up her tibia (shin bone), a common injury for toddlers.<br />
<br />
The title of this blog post is, "The Broken, the Healing, and the Made Whole". The broken is our baby's precious little leg, our hearts over the loss of my beautiful, sassy and always smiling Grandma and our various illnesses during the last few weeks. But Callie is on the mend and is healing quickly. She got her purple cast today (the color she requested) and is already walking around on it. The doctors say she will recover completely and will be back to normal as soon as the cast comes off in five weeks. We are over our colds and viruses and will hopefully have stronger immune systems this winter. Our family is also healing from the loss of Grandma because, only days after her death, there was a celebration of life. My cousin Ashley had a baby girl and named her Everly Lauvon after my Grandmother Lauvon Catherine (Bonnie) Worley. The made whole is my Grandmother. She had been suffering from dimensia and various ailments for years. She didn't always recognize me when I visited and was thinner and weaker every time I saw her. But she is no longer suffering. She has been made whole and is in the presence of our Lord Jesus and we are celebrating that. And we are celebrating that our baby girl will heal up and be whole again and that all of our illnesses are only minor bumps in the road and nothing serious. So, even though it has been a rough few weeks, we are finding our silver lining and counting our blessings. <br />

This picture was taken before Thanksgiving and before the stomach virus. Callie and I made Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies together. She helped me by putting what she thought we needed on the counter. Her ingredients included bold Chex Mix and granola bars. Notice we also don't have a "No Shoes, No Pants, No Baking" rule in our kitchen!</div>

If you ask her what she wants for Christmas she will immediately say, "Choo Choo Rain" and she means the big table with all the tracks and trains on it. We recently spent one pleasant afternoon at the zoo with Mimi and Yoo-Hoo where Callie got to ride the train. It was a perfect day because it was after the big Zoo-Boo Halloween crowds and so there were very few other people around. We are zoo members so we hope to spend some more pleasant winter afternoons with some of our favorite furry and scaly friends.<br />

This was my favorite zoo friend of the day. I love his color and am just amazed at how many times he can fold himself up. I guess it's comfy...but it reminds me of those days where I eat too much and my tummy is spilling over the top of my jeans!</div>

Poor Yoo-Hoo has to contort himself much like that snake to make sure Callie can reach one of his fingers to hold. You should see how he has to twist his arm from the passenger seat of the car to reach back to her car-seat. Mimi and I have to lay down the law on the hand-holding while he is driving, though! In those instances, she will resign herself to holding Mimi or Mommy's hand!<br />
<br />
And speaking of fuzzy friends, here are a few pictures of Callie and her fuzzy brothers. She regularly says that she "wuvs" them now. She will throw herself on one of them and say, "Aww, Wuv Ollie" (or Poe Poe or Hecker - she can't say Chester yet) as she flattens whichever unsuspecting napping feline she encouters. Both Poe and Ollie will patiently lay there while she loves on them. Chester is still afraid of her and that makes him her favorite one to chase since he is always running from her. He doesn't get mad at her or strike at her, but he will run and hide as soon as he wiggles out from under her. Ollie has surprised us the most. He is the least tolerant cat we have but he LOVES Callie and is happy to be her pillow any time she wants. He is usually purring away even when she is trying to ride him like a horse. And he misses her at night and nap time and frequently gets in trouble for standing in her doorway and meowing. We call him our rooster. It's cute but very annoying!<br />

Our little Butterfly Princess had a wonderful Halloween this year! She loved dressing up and going to houses (every house she called a "hawoween house" whether it had decorations or not.) She had no problem marching up the front steps to each door and knocking. But once someone came to the door, she got very shy and had to be coached to say "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you." She eventually got bolder and was saying it more and more on her own. And sometimes she would practically shout, "Happy Hawoween" at people, sometimes multiple times. She was always on the hunt for a "hawoween dog" at any house and she did get to see a few dogs in costumes. It didn't matter whether they dressed up for her or not, she is always happy to see a dog. She got a lot of comments from people who answered the door and other trick or treaters on how cute she looked. Her outfit was a combination of cheapy store finds. The dress was from the beach -- just a generic princess dress from Tuesday Morning. The wings (or butterfly) were a yard ornament that I found at Ross in the clearance section. A little strap adjustment on the dress and some straps sewn onto the butterfly and we had the costume that Callie had requested. She and I painted some wooden beads metallic purple and I made some antenna out of pipe cleaners and a head band. Fortunately, it was an outfit that could be worn over all types of clothing so it worked for the cooler evening. The weather was cool but not rainy and even though she had the beginnings of a cold, she wasn't too sick this year to trick or treat. She did end up getting sicker the next day and was sick the rest of the week but it was a mild and short-lived cold. Eventually, our little butterfly princess pooped out on us and Matt had to carry her home. Callie considered the evening a success because she got a lot of suckers, which are her favorite kind of candy right now. And I have learned to always put her hair in a pony-tail when she is eating a sucker!</div>

This first picture and video are from our time in Richmond a few weeks before. Mimi surprised Callie with the witch towel after bath time. I couldn't get enough of her trying to say "witch"! Her little mouth is just the cutest thing!</div>

Those wings were quite a load for her to carry and they made it difficult to maneuver in narrow spaces. Not to mention the antenna were floppy and the headband was spikey. But certain sacrifices of comfort are always made for a good costume!</div>

Besides just going to games, we have been able to spend time in Richmond with Mimi and Yoo-Hoo and Nana and Papa. My dad had a conference and Richmond that coincided with Dreama's birthday and a baby shower for my cousin, Katie. So one extended weekend was spent celebrating and attending all those various events. That was also the grand opening of what I am now tagging as "Zippity Yoo-Hoo Adventure Land". Yoo-Hoo unveiled his latest invention -- a zip line across the backyard for Callie! Callie loves it and woke up one morning while we were there and the first thing out of her mouth was "Car go fast." I couldn't figure out what she was referring to, thinking she wanted to go somewhere, but finally realized she was asking to go out on her zipline because the swing attached to it looks like a car. Again, like the slide that Papa built for the grandkids at the lake, this zip line is not adult friendly and even though I thoroughly enjoy watching Callie ride on it, I have to admit that I am a tad jealous!<br />
<br />
Other weekend travels included a trip to Bburg for a game that Michelle was able to drive in for. Callie enjoyed that weekend especially because Aunt Missy brought her dog, Wrigley, with her. Callie and Wrigley loved chasing each other around Ma-maws house. It was the weekend of dogs because Callie also got to see new born puppies that her favorite "mountain" dog, Princess Penny (our name for her) had just given birth to the week before. And speaking of giving birth, Callie and I also drove to Roanoke that weekend for a baby shower for my cousin Ashley who is due to pop later this month. It was great to be around some Worley's again. <br />

She still loves Mickey and she still loves Princess things but she now loves dinosaurs more than either, I think. She sleeps with a very pointy and hard plastic triceratops toy that she named Sara. She also has a new stuffed bear she named Fluffy and even more recently has rediscovered her Snoopy stuffed animal. Her pacifiers are still her favorite things to hold in bed, unfortunately. We haven't been successful of ridding her of those yet. Besides watching dinosaur shows, Callie loves to wrestle or "eccercise" with Daddy and they take turns being a t-rex and triceratops. Callie also loves to play hide and seek. She counts only to two or three (but in her special number language) and then slurs out "ready not! Here-a-come!" and so Matt and I have learned to be very fast hiders. When it is her turn, we still have to pretend to not find her for a while but she is branching out into new hiding spots and finally getting the idea that a good place to hide is not where Mommy or Daddy just hid the time before. Sometimes she gets very creative and sometimes she almost scares us because she hid too well. Callie's verbal skills are improving daily and she can say almost anything she wants to now, it just isn't always understood by everyone but Mommy. I seem to have the "gift of Callie tongues" if you want to put it in Biblical terms or you could say I speak "toddler-tongue" if you prefer a Harry Potter reference. Either way you put it, I am the only one who understands her 95% of the time, but that is probably a normal mommy thing. She is picking up all kinds of saying from us, TV and other kids and is constantly surprising us with new sayings. She is also mimicking us and repeating things we say when we didn't even think she was listening, so we are having to be much more careful of what we say. She is getting quite bold in her comments too. One day she told Mimi to "hop to it" when she was running into the grocery store while the rest of us waited in the car. She regularly tells me that I am a "silly mommy", and I don't know where she gets that from because I haven't been silly a day in my life ;) Last night she amused us by yelling "yikes" over and over when Matt was chasing her. And then, later that evening, she responded to his nagging of her to eat more of her dinner with "all right, all right!" in a very teenager tone. But the best is that she is learning to say "I love you" or "I wuuv ooo" and no matter how it comes out, she melts us every time! <br />

Callie loves to play with binoculars, both real and toy ones. Sometimes she takes them with her in the car and looks at other cars through them. Thank God for tinted windows. I just sit there laughing as she yells, "Ook, Mommy, a car!" and points to a car right next to us as we sit in traffic. <br />

She likes to try out her new skills at home. Fortunately, one thing they teach is how to land properly after jumping off objects. Callie's preferred method is to land flat on her bottom which will hurt a lot more once she is out of diapers!<br />

Another fun time with Sara was when we took them both to see Elmo Live! They loved the first half and then both broke down and cried or whined so much for the second half that we left early. But the tickets were a gift from someone at Matt's gym so it was a fun outing.<br />

If you ask Callie who her best friend is, she will say Sara. They hug each other regularly and always have a great time. We are blessed to have such good friends here. They aren't easy to come by, that's for sure! Incidentally, Mary and I get along pretty good too! We don't share princess costumes, though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And finally, Callie LOVES her cats, as usual. But they love her more and more everyday. I think I have mentioned before that Ollie meows outside her bedroom door when she is sleeping because he misses her and wants her to get up. We call him "the rooster". And even Chester is sitting still long enough for her to hug him now and then. The other day, she told me she wanted her diaper off and said that she wanted to go potty in the litter box with Chester (or "Hecker"). I guess that is always an option if I can't convince her to go on the actual potty!</div>

I am still back-blogging and I am determined to keep things in order because it makes it so much easier for me when I go back and make my blog books at the end of the year. So everyone will just have to SUFFER through reliving our vacation to North Myrtle Beach in late August. There was a little scheduling "mix-up" that resulted in Mimi and Yoo-Hoo having two weeks in a row at their condo (or should I say, "Callie's Beeps [Beach] House" because that is she calls it!). So, Callie, Mimi, Yoo-Hoo and I went down for the entire two weeks. It was so relaxing to know that we didn't have to rush to do anything and it was also very nice to not have to sadly count down the days. It was just the four of us for most of the first week and then Matt picked Michelle up at the Richmond Airport and they drove down and joined us on Saturday. Scott flew in a few days later and then we finally got to enjoy a few days of everyone being together before a VERY chaotic end to the vacation. Overall, it was a great time. The weather was perfect (besides the hurricane!) and it wasn't crowded because most schools had started back by then. We did miss experiencing our first significant earthquake, which Matt was disappointed about. There was a big one in Virginia that had several aftershocks with it and people felt it from Giles to Virginia Beach and up and down into other states. But we didn't miss all the natural disasters. Hurricane Irene came rolling in on the second Friday. We were safer in SC so we stayed put and watched it from our perch on the 5th floor. It was scary at times, mostly because of the wind, but it wasn't nearly as bad as what Matt experienced in Richmond (he had gone back early for his Fantasy Football Draft) or as what Pa experienced in Carson. Those parts of Virginia had a lot of tree damage. The hurricane also resulted in a very difficult journey home for Michelle and Scott. Their flight out of Myrtle was canceled and they had to rent a car and drive straight through to Chicago to pick up their car before going home to Indy. But everyone made it home safe and with no damage from the storm or earthquake. We fully expected to return home to a week without power but our neighbor said it didn't even flicker once. I was so happy to come home to a normal house after two weeks away. </div>

This is the entrance to one of those cheapy beach stores that Callie loved! We had to stop and get our picture made with it BEFORE Aunt Missy arrived because she has a little phobia of "big" things.<br />

Callie loved driving around and looking at all the restaurants and putt-putt places, this year. She always knew when we were about to pass a giant crab, shark, pirate ship or plane. Her favorite was this dinosaur putt-putt place and so we took her one VERY HOT morning to play her first game of vacation miniature golf. She lasted one hole and then spent the rest of the time trying to climb, run or sneak to where ever there was a dinosaur. <br />

Today, I am trying to remember back to July and our time at the lake with my family. It was the last road trip from Louisiana for my sister and her family. After they returned from Virginia, they had to pack up and move to Utah. It was a wonderful visit for the most part, except for one very bad incident that left poor Nana needing surgery for a broken ankle. But Nana made the most of it and the kids gave her lots of extra love and attention, so I think it turned out to be a successful Taylor lake "stay-cation" after all. One of the highlights of our time at the lake was how well Callie and Brighton got along. They just love each other and played constantly together. Will also enjoyed getting attention in the form of laughs from Callie. Callie finally got the hang of swimming (with a life jacket) and didn't ever want to leave the water. I enjoyed being able to watch her swim from the shore when I didn't feel like getting in. One afternoon, Becky and I sat on a bench and watched Callie and Brighton "race" into the cove over and over. I will post the video. Another highlight for the kids was the big slide that Papa built for THEM. I emphasized the word THEM because, after begging Dad for a slide for most of our lives, he finally built one that can be used on land or off the dock. The only problem is that the slide is too narrow for Becky and my hips! This made us a little bitter. We found a way around it but riding down the slide on a folded up life jacket, but we still brought up the cruelty of it all often! Here are some pics of all the fun...<br />

I can't wait until Callie gets to see her cousins again. I just know they will pick up where they left off with no hesitation.</div>

Tonight's post is from the weekend of September 16th. Callie and I first went to the lake for a very quick visit with Nana and Papa. And then we met Matt, Mimi and Yoo-Hoo inBlacksburg for Callie and my one home of the season. Matt goes regularly, but Callie and I prefer to visit Lane Stadium only once a year. Besides going to the game, we were also able to visit my friend Sarah and see her new "babies". She has recently added several miniature donkeys (called wooly asses) and one mammoth donkey to her extensive equine collection. I was dying to see these new babies and Callie loves going to Sarah's house to visit her horses. On Saturday, we went to the Tech vs. Arkansas State game. The Hokies won by a lot which made it easier to leave at half-time once the novelty of being at a game had worn off for Callie. She really did enjoy it, clapped a lot, giggled and bounced during "Enter Sandman" at the beginning and especially loved seeing the band and the tubas. She made it onto the jumbo-tron once again this year but she was too busy coloring to notice.<br />
<br />
The weather at the lake was very warm but it turned really cold overnight which made for a very chilly visit to the NRV. Callie enjoyed outside time at the lake, including swimming and some croquet. Nana's leg was healed enough for a swim.<br />
