I know, I know...it's been awhile

It has been awhile since my last post, but I have been at odds with two different things lately and it has prevented me from posting. I was even tagged and I haven't had a chance to do that either.

1) Those of you who know what I do for a living must realize that this is the season that I put an incredible amount of hours in at work. I can't wait for Christmas, but for a completely different reason the rest of the population...after Christmas, my work/home life becomes much more balanced.

2) Now for those who are telling me 14 hour days are not an excuse to post pictures of my little Maeve...(Dad), here is the second excuse.

I want the camera!!! Give me the camera!! I NNEEEEEDDD the CAMERA!!

You don't love me...you have never loved me...why oh why do you deny me the camera!?! (See those crocodile tears. A truly masterful work of art. My daughter is gifted!)





Now see what you have done?!? I want the camera so much that I have a pain in my side!




Maeve certainly has a flair for the dramatics. She can turn the waterworks on and off in seconds flat. Of course, as soon as I give the camera she is perfectly fine and swings it around, squinting and "taking" pictures. I tried to give her an old one that I never used, but she figured that out pretty darn quick and was quite peeved with me for not letting her have the "real" one. Oh, well...maybe by age four, or probably more realistically fourteen, we will have this "The Camera is MINE" complex worked out.

Hmmm, Santa may have to bring Maeve her own cool digital camera!
This update is the greatest! Hope life slows to normal after the holidays :) Keep us in mind for a visit when you come back this way.

Lina beat me, I hope that Santa brings Maeve a Fisher Price (very coo) camera, Which is the real thing in kids life. And I'm sure if Santa doesn't that Grandma and Grandpa will. I will have to say Thank you Grandpa for lighting the fire under your daughter's buttom to get us a posting. Work is no excuse!! We need to see/reading updates about Maeve. The heck with sleep, who needs it?
