Beautiful Butterfly

You may be asking yourself Where have we been?!  Well.  I am currently squeezing in 60 hour work weeks while trying to stay sane, travel back and forth to Wyoming, get a week of work in Oklahoma City, house hunt, start a new job, and transfer to MN.  Yes, that is right.  November 18th will be my last day in Denver.  I am coming back to MN!!  I was referred for a fantastic opportunity at the main building of Cargill in Hopkins, MN and I am very thrilled for this new adventure!  It will take some work to hopefully get Jareth transferred to another unit while maintaining his flight hours but we think this can be done....some way.

I have made a conscience decision to leave work at work and forget it while I am not there.  I hope this leads to a happier me and more blog posts for you!

After a week in Oklahoma City helping their location I vowed to have the entire Saturday devoted to playing with Minka and relaxing.  No work.  No cleaning.  Just playing.

She likes to help me get ready.  She rubs the blush brush on her cheeks.  She brushes her hair.  Tries to put bobby pins in my hair.  Such a girly girl!

 She loves to brush her teeth.  As Jareth puts it,  "She doesn't move a muscle.  She hardly blinks."

 Toys + pink frosted animal crackers = happy Minka.

 Daycare had a party where Minka wore antennas and butterfly wings.  She loves them.  I had to fight her to remove the wings so we could load her into the carseat.  The antennas lost the fight and she showed off her cute headband to everyone at dinner!  Such a beautiful butterfly.

 
PS.  My biggest accomplishment has been taking these pictures today and actually posting them today!  Score 1 for me.  Thanks for sticking around while I have been away from the blog!
