Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!

And I'm not singing the Mazda commercial! Isabella is zooming all over the house. Rocco seems to be a significant motivator in Isabella's increasing speed - she wants to catch the cat sooo much. Bella also pulled herself up to stand next to her toy basket a few times yesterday and when we hold onto her hands she is taking numerous steps...very deliberate in her movements. I'm not sure if she'll be walking anytime soon but if desire and determination mean anything I'd guess she'll be walking by Christmas.

Things are going good for me. I continue to enjoy the work and people at Lifetouch. My contract has become open-ended, with no set date to expire. I worked from home yesterday, it was nice skipping the commute - even one less day a week. I'd like to do this more often, nothing set in stone on this though.

Jason is spending next week at Camp Ripley. He will be training a new batch of cadets in firearms/shooting etc. In other news Jason will be going to Green Bay in November to work the Vikings/Packers game. I'm sure it will be quite the experience, I hope for his sake that it isn't a freezing blizzard as he stands on the sidelines guarding the coach.

We are looking for a couple who might be interested in going on a 10-day sailing cruise around the Virgin Islands in March. We have a 45-foot sailboat with accommodations for four couples booked. I found out yesterday that one of the couples cancelled, they are going to Splitsville instead. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send you the details.
