I have no photos to post, because I cannot find our camera! Yesterday we took Sophie ice skating, only her second time ever, and I wish I had some pics. She did great and even let go of the wall a few times to skate all on her own. We're finally comfortable enough in our parenting to let Sophie fall and realize she'll be fine, so she fell quite a few times, got right back up and even laughed at herself. The first time Sophie went ice skating I believe she was only 2 or 3 and I ended up nearly carrying her halfway around the rink. They now have these great walker things that kids can hold on to and scoot around the rink.
We're almost to Sophie's birthday, 9 years, and it's hitting me hard, because she'll be halfway to 18. I remember bringing her home and as most people know, I had pretty severe postpartum depression. I had no idea how I was going to take care of a child and wondered what I'd gotten into. Now I wonder where the time has gone!
Sophie and I went to Salt Lake City Friday for an MLK luncheon and it was good. My favorite part was the energy and excitement regarding Tuesday's inauguration. I am so grateful to be a witness to such a historical event and to feel like my daughter is growing up in a world that is getting better in some ways.

Hey there, Heather! I didn't know you were a blogger. I'd love to link you to my blog so I can keep up with what is going on. My blog is private, though. (That KSL report a few months back scared me quite a bit.) If you would like to view it, would you mind sending me your email and I'll send you an invite: heaterkay@gmail.com
I am excited that you are going to get a degree in education. You will be an incredible teacher--parents lining up to put their kids in your class. Did Sophie decide she didn't need glasses anymore? :) I noticed they weren't in the pics on your blog.
Boo for no camera...this has happened to me many times. How are Sophie's lambs? Are you enjoying your online classes?
Saw your comment on Tannie's blog. Persuasion is great, too. It's my second favorite of Jane Austen, but nothing beats Pride and Prejudice. Sense and Sensibility and Emma are probable rounding out the top 4 Jane Austen books, but even the lesser knowns are fun reads. They just get a little similar to each other.
okay now....we need a new post my lady!
