Pictures: Daddy and Chloe; Mommy and Joss; Destructo; Mischievous Snow Party

The other day when Joss was whining unintelligibly, I said, "Joss, use your words." Obviously, I wanted her to tell me in words what was bothering her. She thought for a second and then, brightening, said, "Hippopotamus!" I guess, not understanding my meaning, she'd decided to share her most impressive vocabulary. Another verbal shock came last night as she was wrestling with Daddy. As he got too aggressive, she cried imploringly, "Be careful with me -- I'm just a baby!"

Landon and I are still looking for jobs. I haven't been looking seriously, but I probably should before I start looking too pregnant.
