New Year, New Firsts

Dearest Family & Friends,

This week was a busy one for the 3 youngest Meissler's!

Grace & David are now successful tree climbers and tree de-climbers...if that's even a word.

Claire is now ascending and descending the stairs like a person, not a toddler, which is to say completely vertical. I am adding to my gray hair collection, as every time up and down is as close to a heart attack as I care to get. I truly try not to look so as not to give Miss. Independence a complex! She has also developed a fondness for climbing up Grace's bunk bed ladder, which leads to adventures in finding where upstairs she might be.

Ella, Natalie and Grace have been selling cookies like crazy, and have until TUES JAN 13 to complete their orders, so if you'd like to purchase some from them, please get in touch soon! The cutest part about the girls selling is their enthusiasm...the closest thing I can compare it to is Halloween and trick-or-treating (yes, they are THAT into it!).

Natalie is again loving life at FULL speed - we are thankful and feel (again) SO BLESSED! She is also predicting that Grace & David will outgrow her soon, as David is only about 2 inches shorter than Grace and already outweighs her. All Meissler's under 10 are enjoying a fondness for toy heels, and Ella is more interested in her books and NOT growing right now, (or wearing anything that might add to her height), although the doctor thinks she has a LOT more growing to do!

So, that is the Meissler's week in review...Mom & Dad are getting back into the swing of things, with full work weeks and rehearsals back on the schedule. We are loving every minute of our bubbly, busy household!

Love Much,

The Meissler 7
