thursday

i love hanging out with everyone here!! my mom-mom braved the fires to come and visit. and i get to read books with my daddy!! mommy and i hang out every day... nora

so, the fires are getting more contained. my mom said the news makes it sound worse for you all than our news does. (don't misunderstand that... it's been devestating for many people!!) the fires are 10-50% contained (there are 4 major fires out here), and none are threatening to us anymore.

mom and i went walking in a mall today, just to get out (every child in the southern california area was at this, the only indoor mall around!), and we saw quite a few firefighters. i wanted to run up and hug them. there were little kids getting their autographs and just talking to them. it was so sweet! (we said thanks to them, too)

nora gets bigger every day. in the last few days, she has been intentional about grabbing at things. that's been really fun to watch. she still goes with me to the gym and she just sits and talks to her frog or sleeps! so many people tell me that their baby NEVER would have done that!

that's all for now... will write more soon! thanks for all the calls about our safety!
