Getting back into blogging

It's been a while since we last blogged so here's a few highlights and pictures from the last month or so. Life continues to be busy for us. Benjamin is hard at work with interpreting at LDS Hospital and taking a grueling semester of Organic Chemistry. It's a good thing he's got such a great tutor. I (Nicky) have been busy as well watching Sylvia grow up and change and learn a little more each day. I've also been keeping up with taking care of Mom and Dad's properties and any requests they make of me. I've also started something that I never thought I would do but I find that I'm enjoying it quite a bit. I've become an Independent Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics. There. The cat's out of the bag. Unless someone else has already spilled the beans. And Benjamin is being very supportive and has even signed up as a consultant himself. I bet a lot of you didn't know that there are men beauty consultants. Anyway, it's been fun and
something I can do mostly from home.

Sylvia loves to look at the bird and tries to touch her while she's in her cage (the bird is in the cage). She'll put out her hand and sometimes put her fingers through the little metal bars. The bird isn't too people friendly and will bite her if she gets the chance.

There's still more to write but I'll get to it later.
