Pirates and Ponytails

Grant is very proud of the pirate hat he made in school. He is a big Pirates of the Carribean fan.
I am happy to say that I was finnaly able to get Lily's hair in a tiny little pebbles style pig tail on top of her head. It was no easy job, she moves and moves, I don't remember my Barbie head moving as all. Make sure you check out her boo boo on her face. She fell while practicing her walking.

Catching Up With A Old Freind

This is my friend Stacey and her daughter Morgan. Two days ago they both came by for a visit and a play date and it went very well between the two little girls. I used to work with Stacey at a local hospital and she was a blast. Stacey reminds me of Amy Poehler from Saturday Night Live, her comebacks are witty as can be, she is always in the know when it comes to Hollywood gossip and she can remember any lyric to any given song that was done in the 80s or 90s. When we worked together our productivity went down slightly due to constantly laughing and chit chatting. I really miss those days however I am sur my employer does not.

Time To Rake The Leaves

I thought that I would take the time this Monday night to post some new pics. These were taken about a week ago when the weather was still nice. Lily was not sure what to think about all the leaves and playing in the pile that was raked up, however she did manage a giggle or two.

Playing On The Slide

The weather in St Louis was perfect over the weekend. Lily enjoyed being outside most of the day. Her latest thing is sliding down the slide, she absolutley loves it and Doug and I take turns sliding her down.

Enjoying Our Saturday

We are a family who enjoys to be outdoors, especially this time of the year. This morning all four of us were outside by 9:00am raking leaves, throwing the baseball to Grant and pushing Lily in the swing. It was a great morning!!
Here is a picture of the kids and I at break time. They are enjoying graham crackers and milk while I enjoy a good ol cup of coffee.

Asian Loves Italian

Spaghetti is a staple in this house, it is quick, easy and a family favorite.
Lily loves ramen noodles so I figured she would like spaghetti just as much and I was right. However, cleaning up after this meal is no fun.
