Nice pants mom!

The scanner is up & working!
And by some of the photos I've seen, we need a new label - am considering
"evidence my parents hated me"

Ruffle Butt


Swishy dress

In which the lady goes for a drive:

Who would have thought I'd have a girly-girl?  She spent all day on Sunday swishing her skirt around.

Boo-boos

Mystery scrape on the forehead - do you think the penguin did it?  He looks so innocent.
Look at her face in the last photo - if he did, I think the penguin got the worst of it. 



Jabbed twice by the #$%^&* nurse who didn't know what a vein looked like. 
[It is slightly possible he jerked, so I didn't call the authorities on her]

Almost Two Years Ago...

...the little girl graced us with her presence.  I have almost no pictures from those first months - distracted as we were by hour long bottles, medication schedules, and the miracle & irony of the foxglove blooming in our backyard, but we are profoundly grateful & proud. 

(sorry hon', no daddy photos available).

July (and *cough* June) Birthdays

We haven't been keeping up with the birthdays!  If this is late, I'm sorry - still love ya', I'm just a terrible person.

After the crowd, we go to the zoo

[There's a joke in there but I couldn't quite swing it]
[Insert second joke about feeling like a hippo after 6 days of feasting....]




The girl was NOT amused (it was in the 90s)

Part VI

Apparently I was too busy whoo-hooing on the 4th to take any pictures but here are two from the show on the 3rd.  They were even more entranced the next day.

Post Party on the 4th.  First time the little guy has actually requested bedtime. 
Anyone have a picture of Pete's shirt?

You know it's a good party when someone ends up blue
