22 Months Old!
Dear Anna,
Today you are 22 months old. Two more months before you turn two – and the time is just flying by. I think I’d better start planning your birthday party soon!
This month I’ve been astounded by the things you’ve started doing. All of a sudden you’re counting…all the way up to [...]

Dandelions
I know they’re weeds, but they really can be pretty! And besides, with these in the yarn to pick, the girls totally leave the “real” flowers in the garden beds alone…

Ice Cream Cuties
We went out for ice cream tonight after dinner. Anna got vanilla with rainbow sprinkles, and Carrie got orange blossom…also with rainbow sprinkles. The important bit, of course, is rainbow sprinkles.

Moo-fie Star!
Somewhere along the line, Anna has picked up the idea that sunglasses make her a movie star:
I don’t think I take enough pictures of her, do you? I mean, she clearly has no idea what to do when there’s a camera pointed at her…

Playground…and Big Girl Shoes
Denis took the girls to the school playground today while I was working, and then I met them there after work.
After we managed to pry them away from the slides and tunnels, we took Carrie to the shoe store, where we discovered that she has crossed a threshold: from toddler & preschooler style shoes to [...]

Springtime Cuties
We’re loving the warmer weather around here! We pretty much spend every afternoon from when Carrie gets off the bus until Denis gets home from work out in the front yard, doing fun things like riding bikes, blowing bubbles, “chalking” (like coloring, but with chalk), and playing with the “flowers” (aka pinwheels).
We love spring!

Happy Easter!
We had a lovely day filled with family, fun and food! Anna really enjoyed shaking the plastic eggs and asking people to “open it!” and the jokes I filled the eggs with were a huge hit with Carrie and her cousins.

First Trike (sort of)
Anna has big-girl bike envy, and suddenly the little pink ride-on car is nowhere near cool enough.
So I got out Carrie’s trike to see if Anna could ride it. She’s still a little too small to reach the pedals comfortably, even on the smallest setting, but she does love to push it!
I have a [...]
