Here's the little lady showing off her newly acquired mobility.  She's always really proud of herself when she walks and smiles like she knows she's putting on a show. 

I know, I know, its hard to actually see her walk from still shots, ha ha! You might be able to tell that she walks like a little dinosaur. She just barely started moving her arms today.  For the last week she held them up in the air with clinched fists.  She also loves to carry around my old cell phone with her.  She's been taking that phone everywhere.

Some of you may already know that Dan's company is closing and by the end of the month, practically everyone, including Dan, will be out of work. So, we are in the midst of cooking up some new plans.  We feel very happy and optimistic about our future.  We'll keep you posted as things unfold.

Last night, Dan came home from work with a bag full of groceries and started making dinner for us.  He said that he could tell it had been a long day for me and he didn't want me to worry about cooking.  Then he served this:

It was delicious!  And pretty impressive for someone who claims he can't cook.  He even cleaned up dinner and set up a movie for me (Young Victoria :) before going to bed so he could get up early this morning.  I don't share enough of the kinds things he does for me.  He has a lot on his mind lately and I really appreciate how he thinks to do such thoughtful and sweet things. :)

I also wanted to thank you for the wonderful comments on my last post!! It meant a lot to me that you took the time to write :)
