Wow - -It has been a long time! Where do I begin? First of all, let me say that it has not been so fun being a banker these past several months.....There are days I hesitate to even pronounce my profession lest I get scorned, or lectured at the very least! Plus who'd of ever thought that real estate and the general economy in Aspen, Vail, Telluride and Steamboat would look like it does today?!? Definitely long days, tough conversations, empathetic situations and trying times.......
However, at the end of the day when I walk in the door, I have the most beautiful, happy, intelligent, loving little girl waiting to greet me and suddenly the world is perfect!!!
Meredith has grown SO much over the past several months. She has gotten tall and her hair has finally started to grow, but most impressively, her language skills have taken off. She carries on full conversations - mocking Eric and I completely. She is singing, counting to 10 and beyond, knows her ABCs, all of her colors and most every shape imaginable. This little girl has most definitely caught up to her peers and probably has gone beyond many!! I think she is ready to learn a second language and I would love to find a Chinese linguist to work with her. That is one of the most challenging aspects about living in a rural city - - the lack of diverse educational specialists. I will do my best to find someone, though - I think it is important. I would also like to get her into some sort of gymnastics program.
Meredith still loves her day-care and now interacts with several of her "friends" there - so fun to watch these relationships grow.
We seem to travel fairly regularly and she is a good little companion. Her latest passion is going on a boat! She sure enjoyed riding with "Pop Bob and Geny" in Florida.
As we head into December and the rush of the holidays, I will try to keep in touch more often. As I read all of your wonderful blogs out there I realize how important it is and that it really doesn't take that much of an effort!!
My Best to All.
