Too many things, too little time.

I know it has been quite some time since I have really written anything on here. This is mostly because I always seem to find something else that needs to be done that is just a little more important that blogging. This is also because I am just not sure what to write about. I know you all love seeing videos and pictures of Zoe but other than that I feel like our life is pretty normal, which I am thankful for:)
Even today I am writing this at school. It is a test day for me so I have a few minutes here and there in between questions to write a little.
We have been busy making holiday travel plans, and let me tell you they are crazy. Over thanksgiving break we will be going to Chicago for just one night to attend a wedding of a college friend of Tony's. We are looking forward to that and also seeing a few other college friends there. December is when our travel plans get crazy. Tony's brother Ryan and his boys who we have not seen in two and half year will be in MN for a couple weeks at the beginning of December. We could not pass up the opportunity to see them. Tony and I will be driving through the night while we send Zoe on the plane with Scott and Christina to spend a long weekend in Worthington. Zoe will then stay in MN for 10 days while we come back and wrap up the semester before we fly back to MN for Christmas break. I have to admit that I am nervous about leaving Zoe for 10 days as I have never spent a night away from her. But I know it will be good for us and I am sure everyone in MN will greatly appreciate the extra time with her. So as you can see the next 6 weeks will be a bit crazy for us and therefore I am not making any promises on the frequency of my blogging.
Now on to the part you really all care about: ZOE. She has quite the attitude. Last night when she was in her second time out of the evening I was thinking about how my mom used to talk about how stubborn my sister Darci was and nothing seemed to upset her or stop her from doing what she wanted to do, and that is exactly what we have in Zoe. She has a very good fake cry, but has learned that doesn't really work any more. Time-outs don't seem to really bother her either, so we are not sure what to do.
On a better note, a very sweet side of Zoe is that she has become quite the hugger. She will hug anyone at anytime and about anywhere (target, football games, daycare). When it is just the three of us at home she will go back and forth hugging Tony and I for minutes at a time. She also makes this fake "awwww" sound during each hug. It is adorable.
She is also very much like her father in that she refuses to eat vegetables and would be perfectly happy with pizza and a cookie for every meal. She is very aware of where the desert bar is in the cafeteria and will not leave the caf without choosing a desert. Sometimes we do say no and then we get many laughs and looks because of the tantrum she is throwing, oh the joys of a stubborn toddler:)
That's all for now, there is a new November album up with a few pictures from the last couple of weeks.
