Maeve--more interested in crackers than in the animals.

I made Granny and Amelie pose in the monkey faces--Granny is a great sport and a HUGE help!!

go swimming in the indoor (baby) pool

bet you didn't know we were all fancy-like and even had an indoor pool =)
you know it's winter when your "jungle gym" is really just a britax car seat box
(it's the little things that entertain best)

"I like this outfit. The shirt makes me a girl but the pants make me a boy."

I guess brown pants make her a boy while she wears them?

What a girl!

Getting Rid of The Mullet Part 123

2008-12-24T08:04:00.002-05:00

For some reason Amelie's hair refuses to grow in any formation other than the:

Mullet.

I've cut at least 6-8 inches off of her fine hair because the sides still haven't caught up to the back.

I chopped off another few inches the other day--hopefully someday her hair decides to grow at a uniform rate, either that or she'll be known as mullet girl in junior high...

The Littlest Angel

2008-12-23T08:42:00.002-05:00

Amelie's 3rd (and final) Christmas program was this past Sunday!

She played the angel and was the best part of the show!

(I can say this b/c unfortunately most of our little friends were sick/absent!)

Amelie delivered her line, "Mary, Mary, Mary!" with crystal clear perfection and the Maevenator fell asleep on Granny's arm =)

Apparently, boom boom is princess code for lima beans.

My babies are so different.
This is Amelie circa 1/2006.
I have a lot of pictures of Amelie doing this:
I have no pictures of Maeve doing this.
Amelie's a little on the "emotional, dramatic" side.
I have no idea where she got that from.
*cough
Maeve just smiles all day and pretends everything is fine.
I also have no idea where she got that from.
*coughMr.Wonderful*cough
What a blessing they are!

Sliding

2008-12-01T08:18:00.002-05:00

When I was young (and immune to the cold) I was able to enjoy some awesome sledding.

My parent's home is on the top of a large hill and you can slide in any direction--but the best is towards the pond--you know for the dare-devil farm kid type.

Snow Days

2008-11-30T10:14:00.002-05:00

Amelie was thrilled with all the snow that upstate NY had to offer us on our Thanksmas excursion. She's been dying to play in it and headed out immediately upon arriving in NY to build a snoman, on the porch, in the dark with her Pop.

(She named the snowman "baby snowman)

Pop was such a good sport and even though he was wearing shorts (!) he built the little snowman with his grand girl.

Amelie was even gifted a pair of snow pants and snow boots since her Grandparents were concerned that she wasn't properly attired for snow country

(What can I say? We don't have enough snow here to merit snow apparel).

So now, she's set with snow pants and Princess snow boots (the only pair at the store just happened to be Princess...it was meant to be..) so now we'll see if she ever has a chance to use them again in Jersey!
