Saturday

After several busy weeks and weekends, we were all home together today. Daddy didn't have to work, mommy didn't have to work, and I didn't have to work either. To celebrate, I allowed everyone to sleep in this morning.

After we were all dressed, mommy and I went to the card store to get birthday cards for great-grandma Nell, Aunt Teri, and two of mommy's friends from work. While we were there we also got daddy a Father's Day card...shhhh, don't tell him.

Then we went to the post office, the dry cleaners, and to get mommy's eyebrows done at the international mall. Running errands sure takes it out of you so I took a nap when we got home after chatting with grandma and singing her some tunes.

My friend Ruby came over later and we went to the park. I'm old enough now that I can go down the big kid's slide and daddy and I went down the tunnel slide... twice!

Today was a great day. I'm off to bed now. Talk to you later.

Singing the Classics

Bathtime is always a great time to flex the golden pipes. Here I am singing some classic tunes I'm sure you all will recognize. If you know the words, sing along! Talk to you later.

Our weekend away

This past weekend we went to Chattanooga for a few days of rest and relaxation. It was so much fun. I didn't know there were so many fun things to do away from home. I had a blast at the Creative Discovery Museum. There, they had a little playhouse with things just my size. There was a slide, a train, a stove and refrigerator, a theater, even food that tasted like plastic! If the bubble pit hadn't called to me, I could have stayed in there the whole day.

They also had a library complete with a reader that let me sit in her lap for a story. After, we went up to the rooftop play area and played in more bubbles and on a swing (from previous posts you know those are my favorite.)

We also went to Coolidge Park and I got to ride the carousel with daddy. It was so fun. The carousel had many pretty animals that you could ride. I chose the bunny. Daddy had to hang on to me tight until I got the hang of it. Mommy was on the sidelines taking pictures... her motion sickness, so she said.

We played in the fountain with the other children. Although I still don't like getting my hair or my face washed, I enjoyed splashing in the fountain... so much so that we went back the next day to splash again.

It was a lovely weekend. Here are the pictures of me having a great time. Talk to you later.

The Easter Bunny Came

... and went. Mommy has been too busy to get me close to the computer so I'm just getting to post my Easter musings. Sorry.

It was lovely day, bright and sunny; just the kind of day you'd want for such a celebration. The singing at church was wonderful. The choir was great and allowed me to join in when they sang the Hallelujah chorus. Mommy and I sang it together.

After church I took a nap, then put on my cute outfit from my great-aunt Quinn and went outside to play. We blew bubbles in the front yard and planted the flower boxes, then we went to wash daddy's car. After that, we enjoyed a tasty dinner of ham, macaroni & cheese, and all the trimmings.

We had a great day. Hope you did too. Talk to you later.

Easter Egg Hunt

Today we went to the Easter egg hunt in downtown Decatur. I'd never been to an egg hunt before but from what I could tell the concept was very simple: nice people throw eggs all over the grass, a bunny arrives for you have your picture taken with them, a horn sounds, and working with other people your size, you try to gather as many eggs as you can fit into your basket.
Oh, yes, all the while posing for pictures. Sounds simple doesn't it?

The eggs weren't really eggs! They were candy... very tasty. Daddy let me eat a red one after the hunt was over. Funny, for all the build up, the whole hunt only took about 3 minutes, maybe less. Regardless, it was a wonderful outing for a baby and her parents. Here are the pictures of us having a wonderful time. Enjoy. Talk to you later.

(I practiced sharing with other people my size who had forgotten their basket at home)

(me, waiting for the horn to sound)

(I'm ready to go... can we go now mommy?)

Luck of the Irish

Okay, I'm not Irish but I am pretty lucky. At least I think so. I'm lucky because mommy finally decided to post my pictures from St. Patrick's Day. Yes it was last week, yes, I should have gotten them up sooner but it's hard for a baby to reach the keyboard without any help from mommy or daddy. And they have been very busy. So at last, here are my pictures.

You'll see in some that I've learned to read. There I am reading Put Me in the Zoo, my favorite story from the blue book our friend Jerry Burns gave me. Hope all is well for you. Talk to you later.

It's Snowing.

This is one of those times when a picture truly is worth a thousand words. Hope you're staying warm and dry. Talk to you later.
