Wow. Ok. So it has been....3 months since I last posted. Ooops.
We spent a wonderful Christmas with Neal's family in Cody, WY, got to hang out with bro and wife (Mark & Jillayne) in Powell a bit, and also was happy to see Aunt Jen and her family again in Ralston, where I spent my Senior (and BEST) year of high school! Shortly after Christmas we met up with younger bros and sis in Otto and got to say hi to the Kelly & Terry family, and dropped in on the Jones grandparents. All in all, I'd say we almost made up for our 3 1/2 years in Georgia!
January 2nd we made it to Springville, UT and crashed at Neal's bro's, and turned in our U-Haul that was 9 days late, cringing at the thought of the overdue fees, but thankful that we detoured around the nasty snowstorms just before Christmas. However, we were ecstatic when the nice boy behind the U-Haul counter canceled all of our $200+ fees!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
January 4th we were given the ok to move on in to our little "ski lodge". WE LOVE IT HERE!
Heber City is like a winter wonderland right now, and I am excited to experience ALL the seasons here, unlike in Georgia, where you got super hot & humid, or bone-chilling cold, and the occasional deluge. Oh how I have missed the mountains and the snow!!!
I truly honestly hope that we are here for the rest of our lives.
Delia turned her big 2 a couple weeks ago on Feb 28th, and since then has gone BACK to sucking her thumb, STOPPED potty-training altogether, and WON'T sleep through the night, like she has since she was 6 weeks old. REALLY?! ok.
On the other hand, she has an amazing imagination, loves to build towers, says "THANKS MOMMA!!!" to everything i do for her, and finally said, for the first time without any prompting, "I wuv you momma." YAY!!! Nothing better than that feeling, right there!! One of my favorite things about her is her energetic responses, like her "UH-HUH!!" with wide eyes and mouth in a big 'ol grin; her "OH!", really short and musical, like she has just discovered something incredibly amazing; and i love that she says "YES! Yes momma!"
She also loves to "help" with dishes, loves to "help" cook, and "help" crochet things when I'm doing a project. She can say almost every letter of the alphabet, biggest letter nemesis is "f", and somehow her "froggy" and "water" sound almost identical....
Her counting is really funny.....she can say them all when repeating after me, but when I hear her counting things on her own, it's always "1---2---3---8-9-10!"
D loves loves LOVES books and asks for them first thing in the morning (or at 3 am, whatever), at naptime, before bedtime, in the car, and at people's houses! Her favorites are "I Know A Rhino" and "Tumble Bumble" from her friend Katie in Savannah. She'll pick those over any of them!
Well i think that's about long enough for now.....gotta messy house calling for me and tummy growling that it's time.
Should have lots of adventures to post about next week as D's cousin Alex is coming to visit from Denver, and i can only imagine the fun times we'll have with him (3), D (2), Mel (5), and Ki (20 mo?)!
Peace OUT!

So fun to read what you have been up to :). And toddlers go threw all kinds of crazy phases where they exert their independence, and it sounds like she has decided to hit it full forse :). Remember when Lily was little and how hard she was? There is light at the end of the tunnel, I promise. And I love all the cute things she says - you will be so happy to have them written down. Miss you!
