Uncle Putz

So in case you didn't know already, Jen's niece Caroline is very cute. She's quite the gabber, trying often to say things. She can say "up" and "help", both of which are very useful. She can say "ma" and "da" for Mom and Dad. She can say "ba" for bedtime when she's sleepy. When we all are not trying to get her to dance to Mexican or 70's funky music, we try to teach her words or names.

"Caroline, this is Aunt Jen."
"Je!"
"Hey, that was pretty good! Can you say Uncle Gavin?"
"Putz!"
(much laughter ensues)

And in case you thought it was a one-time affair, she's called me Putz about 3 or 4 times now. :)

Christmas in Wyoming has been fun so far, although there is no snow and it's been in the 50s every day. Jen's family have been great hosts, it's been very relaxing amidst much stuffing of one's face. And we still haven't finished all of the Christmas cookies yet!
