Oh boy! Do we have some catching up to do!!! Let’s see, so much has happened since I last wrote you. Let me list some things now, and I will add pictures soon.
New words: Opposites, Auntie Amy, hippopotomus,
Your first school fieldtrip on a BUS
Sledding in the “snow”
The museum with Marlie, her Dad and your Daddy
The Strong Museum and dinner with Aunt Judi & Uncle Jim
Neighbors Laura and Alan checking in…
We went shopping yesterday – on the day after Thanksgiving – CRAZINESS.
We did find a couple good deals, but I’m not convinced it’s worth the chaos. I couldn’t find you and Daddy for 5-10 minutes, and we were in the same section of the store!!
Anyway… one great find was a pair of black boots for Mama… You found a new playmate with the VERY cute kid in the mirror! Check it out!!
And the result of our boot shopping effort?
New Boots for Mama! Thank you!!
Thankgiving Day 2006
We got to help Auntie Judi and Uncle Jim’s cristen their new home. What a treat!
Who was all there? Besides Uncle Jim, Auntie Judi and their son CJ (and dog Madison), Eleana (a graduate student at Warner) and her husband, Jarod, Bee and her mother, Marie, Raffaella and her two sons, Luca and Madeu and the three of us!
We had turkey and tofu, tons of vegetables, and many different kinds of deserts! You played with everyone there!
You, Daddy & I made:
*2 cranberry cakes
*2 apple pies, and
*13 creme brulee deserts for Thanksgiving!! Whew!!
And then we had a little non-cooking fun:
Auntie Amy made this hat for you last year for Christmas. She must have KNOWN you would be cold eating yogurt almost a year later. She’s so smart!!!
And you are too precious for words!
Your first experience with snow as a toddler – very strange and wonderful indeed.
Check it out!!
You didn’t use to like yogurt- in fact, you seemed to hate it. But little by little, you became more interested in what I was enjoying so much. I snuck a couple little tastes in your mouth during cartoons, and before I knew it, you were hooked. 🙂
Now you eat it most mornings – all by yourself!! You are so fun, Peanut!
A trade off –
You went over to Marlie’s on Saturday to play while Daddy and I watched the sad Michigan – Ohio State game….
Getting ready…
At Marlie’s…
Then Marlie came to our house on Sunday while Marlie’s mom ran a bunch of errands.
What a treat for all of us!!
Getting Ready!!
At School…
