So I'm not as good at updating as I used to be....sorry!

It's Friday and I realized that it's been nearly a month since I've posted last.

I now have a Facebook account - so my old "blog" time is now spent stalking old and new friends on the book - not really productive - but very addicting.

Anyway - - here's a quick run down:

* Christmas was great - although we missed the big McGill party. It's hard to believe that all 10 of the original "McGill's" were present - - I missed seeing everyone and introducing Molly to those who have not met her yet :(

* New Years was fun! My parents came down to Omaha and we had a nice dinner/circus at The Stokes Bar and Grill. If you can only imagine a relatively high end establishment on NYE with 2 high chairs - it was a circus - but great food and fun! We then took advantage of the free baby sitting and went out with some friends - finishing the night with Rockband and Wii!

*We just learned that Aubrey is now accepted into a great speech therapy program sponsored by the Scottish Rites here in Omaha. It's a 1 1/2 hour session one day a week for the next three years. She was on the waitlist for 10 months - so we're very excited to begin!! She'll be in a "classroom" type setting with 4-5 other special needs children that have severe speech delay or non-verbal like Aubrey. The whole goal will be to help Aubrey and the other kiddos learn how to communicate via other means (pictures, voice out-put systems). It will be so nice - as Chris and I are still pretty clueless when it comes to all the strategies you can and should do to help Aubrey.

*Molly now has two teeth, is crawling, pulling herself up in the crib and on tables, and loves to eat her solids! Basically - she's growing up over night! It's so amazing to see how fast she develops and picks up on things. It can be bittersweet for a split second when you see her move beyond Aubrey's level already - but for the most part - it's so great to have Molly and Aubrey together - - they are going to have such positive impacts on each other throughout their entire life!

*We close on our new house in 12 days!!! We're so excited!!!

*The UNO Dance Team is in middle of preparations for NDA Nationals. We're 3/4 of the way done choreographing the routine and we're LOVING it - - can't wait to compete in April!

Well - - that's all for now - - I promise - - pictures are coming soon of the girls, the house, and heck maybe we'll even get one of Chris and I!

Thank you for not forgetting us non-facebookers. It will be fun to see how Aubrey will progress with her new therapy. Love, Mom
