I promised a more detailed update so here goes...

It's been pretty crazy at Casa de Thompson for the last few months. Erin got a new job working full-time for EDS. She's enjoying it and loves the people she works with. Yes, she does work for the same company as I do, but we don't work for the same manager. Fortunately she does work in the same building so we get to carpool together which is saving us a ton of money on gas. Of course the only reason it's saving us a ton of money on gas is because gas is so freakin' expensive! Can you believe I paid $45 dollars to fill up my tank the other day. What a racket that is. Big oil is posting record profits? Well, duh! It's because they've jacked up the price. I firmly believe that it's all a big scam. They just jack up the prices to $3 to make us feel relieved when they drop it to $2.60. F*CKING COMMIES!

...anyway...I got off topic there, sorry.

Where was I?

Oh yeah...!

We've been trying to adjust to our new lifestyle with both of us working 8-5 everyday. It is nice to have a regular schedule and Erin has been soooo much happier.

Sophia is wonderful as always. She's getting taller...can you believe she's almost 3ft. tall? 31 inches of Pee Wee goodness. She started giving kisses a couple of weeks ago. I was holding her at the sitters in the morning when we were dropping her off when she stopped and looked me straight in the eye, popped out her binky and leaned in and gave me a kiss. She got all excited and wrapped her little arms around my neck to hug me. I was so surprised. I think we all were. I looked at Erin in disbelief and asked, "Did she just do what I think she did??"

Erin was beside herself from the cuteness and Sophia, in her impish glee looked at me and did it again followed by another gleeful hug. This time there was no mistaking it. My little girl had just given her daddy a kiss. It made my week.

She's still a little chatterbox only now there's real words in there. It's funny to listen to her. You only catch a single word here and there, but you know that she's only a single synapse away from making complete sentences. She was in her high chair one night eating her french fries and chicken nuggets when she ran out of fries. She started bouncing in her seat and yelling, "FRA FRY...FRA FRY...FRA FRY...FRA FRY..." until I put more on her tray.

I'm telling you this kid is scary smart. She grabbed Erin's car keys the other day and tried to "unlock" the front door. I caught her standing in front of the door reaching up with the keys attempting to stick the keys in the door knob. Just the other day I was calling the cat over to me so that Sophia could pet her; Sophia was on my lap and I started saying, "come here Lily..." and snapped my fingers. Sophia proceeded to mush together "come here Lily" and was making the motion with her hand as if she was attempting to snap her fingers.

As for me...I'm fine. Just trying to enjoy my family as much as I can.

Ooh! Almost forgot. Erin and I went out on a date yesterday afternoon. My in-laws were kind enough to take Sophia for the afternoon so Erin and I could go to the movies and go out to eat.

We went to see Hot Fuzz. It was awesome. It rips on every single cop movie convention and it takes itself completely seriously which made it even funnier. I would recommend this movie to people who love action movies and to people who hate action movies. It was done by the same team that did Shaun of the Dead (another must see) a couple of years ago. Go and see it...you'll thank me.

Anyway...I've got to get a move on with my day. I'm going to try to make posts with a little more regularity so I will be back soon with more fun.

I've got more coming that I've shot in the last couple of days. I've also got some news. Just bits about what's been going on in the Thompson household. There's lots to tell but not enough time for me to relay it all now.

I will say that everyone is doing well. Sophia is getting to be a big little girl.

More to follow...

Some people are like Slinkies. They really aren't good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year.

Everything is going well here. Sophia greatly enjoyed her Christmas. I still say that she had more fun with the wrapping paper and boxes, but she LOVED her toys.

I'll post pictures and more details soon. It's been busy to say the least.

Anyway...

I just wanted to wish everyone all the best for 2007 and remind everyone that a little bit of kindness goes a long way in this world.

Sophia turned one year old today! As of 11:02 AM today my daughter is officially into her second year of life. That's just crazy to try and wrap my head around it!

I can't believe that a year has passed already. It feels like yesterday that we were struggling to figure out how to be parents.

Here is a picture from her birthday party this past Sunday.
