Chris and I have survived being parents for two years and Paige has survived us. She is such a big girl now. Every day she amazes me with how much she knows and how much she talks! Here are some examples: - A few days ago we were playing in her room. She suddenly comes up to me, kisses me, and says, "See you in the morning!" and walks out of the room and shuts the door.

Sears guy came again today and raised my dishwasher from the dead. He was kind of mean to me last time he came because he said the dishwasher looked like someone had fallen on it, which wasn't true, and I don't think he believed me. But today he was nicer and managed to take the boxes full of parts that had been delivered to my house over the last week and magically put them together to make a working dishwasher. I'm trying not to be bitter that it took said Sears man three weeks to fix my little problem...at least I can sleep better at night knowing the dishes are safely tucked into their bed for the night too!
