I win! I win!

A few months ago, Wes and I made bet. I said Reese would walk before she got her first tooth, and Wes said she would get her tooth first. This isn't to say that Reese is walking everywhere all the time, but she walks a lot. She takes a few steps everywhere she goes, and several times a day she walks all over the living room. I consider that a victory on my behalf, right?! My Prize, you ask? A massage and facial or something like that. Ahhh...
I do think a tooth is on its way, or from the way she's been acting, she's getting all the teeth most 15 month olds have at once. It's ugly around here in terms of whiny and fussy behavior, but the sweet smile and laugh and love are all still there. I'm really hoping teeth are coming because I definitely need something to blame these past few days on besides her just becoming a for real toddler.
It's been a week of big announcements in my world, and although I don't have one to make, I'm really excited and happy for all of my dear friends who have recently gotten some pretty great news. Babies on their way, baby coming home from Ethiopia, and a big move for another friend and her family. Yippee skippee, and praise the Lord indeed!
Right now I'm getting things ready for a big night and a full weekend. Our 2nd Annual Walker Brothers and Wives Dinner is tonight at Bonefish, followed by our "community group" Christmas Party. Then get ready...tomorrow some of my best friends from high school are coming up for the day and to spend the night. It's going to be so much fun to hang out up here, and thanks to Wes, it will be another girlfriend weekend for me.
I'm saving too much to do on Monday, but I'll make it work. Baking a cake and taking it to the Mercy NICU, making some treats for friends and delivering them, packing for 6 days in Conway, and probably a few more things here and there. I'm going to try to blog about Reese's 15 month check-up and her updates on Sunday, but now that I'm away from the monthly updates, I don't remember the 18th as well.
Enjoy one of our last minute Christmas card picture rejects and a few pretty pictures of our little girl...

I cut out this "really cute" Joy to the World sign to hold up, but you can't read what it says. So, you won't be seeing the sign on the Christmas cards that are on their way to many of your homes right now. We had to choose from one of the few pictures without the sign for the card. Oh well. Crafty ideal fail.

I was trying to get the lighting right, so Reese was my cute subject. Excuse the dusty and bird poopy chairs.

I washed her hands after this. Don't worry.

My sweet girl.

Okay, so now I'm going to go research some nice spas or salons in the area. Massage and facial recommendations, anyone?! Hehe.
