We're back!

Ok, so we took a really long Christmas break and are just getting back to reality.  Well, not really.  We've been back for a while, but now getting back to the blog.  sorrysorrysorrysorry

Anyway, we'll ease back in slowly.

This week, on MLK day, I took Nora to work with me.  (Tess went skiing with Dad.)  Nora and I had fun... I find that she tends to act a big 'older' when she's by herself... perhaps because she's not the little sister for a few minutes.  We packed some snacks, some coloring books and of course, the iPad.  We parked in my structure and walked a few blocks in the cold!  She loved it.

So about the picture above... I usually have a picture of both girls together as the background on my phone.  I don't think I've ever had a picture of just one of them by themselves.  Anyway, I thought this picture was cute, so I made it my new background picture yesterday.

This morning, Nora had my phone in the car.  I watched her pick it up and then quietly gaze at it lovingly, admiring herself for a minute...

... and next thing you know, she took the phone, pointed it right at Tess so Tess could see, and said, "Look.  Just me." 

Um, sister threw me right under the bus. 

Meanwhile, check out big sister on the ski slopes (because God forbid, I don't give them equal opportunity):
