"I'm ready for my closeup Mommy"

Happy Valentine's Day

My Mom suggested that I should take cute pictures of the girls in Valentine outfits. I thought it was a great idea. I just should have known better to wait until after lunch to take Callie's picture. I guess she figures that clothes and pictures don't always have to go together.

Happy Valentine's Day

Smarty Pants

A few days ago we were at Walmart and of course we were looking around in the toy section. (Because no trip to Walmart is complete without and stop in the toy section). We found this book called Preschool basics. I thought it would be fun so we bought it. We then came home, I put Callie down for a nap, and Emmy started working in this book. I kept asking her if she wanted to be done and she kept telling me just one more page. All I did was explain then instructions and she did the rest. Less than 2 hours later she was totally done with this 64 page booklet. I guess you could say she is ready for the challenge of kindergarten.
(This page is circling the picture that starts with the same sound)

Wagon Wheels

I know it's been way too long since we've updated this...sorry! Between Dal's GMAT and trying to apply for Grad school, life has been a little busy. Here's a cute one of Callie trying to put an entire wagon wheel in her mouth. Cramming large amounts of food into one's mouth...hmmm...who'd she learn that from?

Haircut time!

In four years, Emmy had only had her hair cut once (that was just a trim last year). Today was her second time and she had a little more than a trim this time!

Here's Emmy holding her 11-plus inches of hair they cut off. She is going to donate it to "Locks of Love."



Her first look at the hair that was cut off. Despite the expression, she was really excited to get her hair cut.



Side view.



What a change. We think she looks older. What do you think?

Happy New Year!

We hope that 2008 is a great year for all of you, our friends, as well as for us. Isn't it great that we get a "clean slate" to work with every year? You can make new goals and just try to be better. Happy New Year!

Callie and her "friend"

This is my favorite picture from our trip to Salem. Callie would crawl over to the door and talk to (and kiss) her reflection in the glass. It was awesome that she found her little "friend."
