no ranting, just raving

I'm realizing that much of what I "blog" about is often my little soapboxes and things that quasi set me off. But not tonight. Not because everything is just going so well--we still have no power and I still don't have my teaching for tomorrow night all together--oh well. The reason, not tonight, is because I have been given the coolest gift ever...my daughter. I've included another pic, as if you haven't seen any before. Two quick anecdotes and then I'll shut up. She was in her little contraption/toy thing we put her in to stand and have sensory overload just hanging out and having a good ol' time. Then I came home from work and once I started talking, even though she couldn't see me, Heather said she just started going crazy, smiling and kicking her little legs. I'm a sap. Anecdote number two. Similar theme. Heather and I are leaving for "date night" and Sydnie is playing on the floor and as Heather is saying good bye to her parents she is just following Heather's every move. I guess I'm just amazed at how aware she is already. Granted, she doesn't cry when we leave, so she must not really miss us all that much. Oh well. There's my comment for the day. Good night. May the peace of the Lord be with you.
