toddler genius wins nobel prize for knowledge of octagon

merry christmas, everyone! we thought you'd enjoy this video of quinn with her favorite puzzle. i like it best when she says OCTAGON!!! please note that i'm sick today and i do know how to wash my hair. :) quinn is sick too so that explains her deep throaty voice. :) geoff would like you all to know that he doesn't like emoticons. :( i like them though. :) :) :) now i am just doing it to bug you, geoff...

this week we are leaving for idaho to visit the archibalds for christmas, and to see geoff's youngest brother reid get married. we are thrilled for reid and excited to have a new sister-in-law, stefani. we'll post pictures when we get back.

we are also excited to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary this month. it is a weird tradition in the archibald family to cram as many weddings into the week of christmas as possible. 3 of the 4 archibald kids have christmas week wedding anniversaries, and so do my mother and father in law. kent and christine got married in august but we love them anyway.

i'm excited for 2008--i love new year's resolutions. i always make a million and occasionally even keep one or two. i like fresh starts with no mistakes yet. one new year's resolution is to keep this blog updated and to post pictures! we have lots of great shots of quinn and all the fun goings on around here, but we're the only ones who ever see these pictures. no more! 2008 will be the year of archibald over exposure. hurray!

be on the lookout for our christmas cards sometime in the first half of 2008. :)
