My Daddy Rocks!

Lately we've been talking a lot about what daddy does when he leaves for the day. I knew he went to "work" but until recently I didn't know what "work" was. Now if you ask me what I want to do when I grow up I'll say, "Work with cars" or "Car designer". Daddy just chuckles but mommy thinks it's fantastic (funny, no interest in advertising or publishing...hmmm).

This weekend Theo Bill and Yia Yia came to visit and we went to the car show to see the car that daddy is working on. We are SO proud of him that we could burst. We can't wait to see it out on the street in real life. I'm trying to convince them that in support of daddy they should buy me one and just keep it in the garage for a few years until I'm old enough to drive it. We'll see : )

Warning: Proceed With Caution...

This might gross you out but I just had to document how crazy this kid can be. Keep in mind I was completely still so all of the movement you see is curtesy of the wild one. Sorry for the crazy angle but it's a bit challenging to videotape your own belly!

Snow Day!

Yesterday we had quite a bit of snow...enough to warrant strapping on 10 layers of clothing to go out and play. I LOVE snow. LOVE, love, love! I made snow angels with Trish (mama's not so coordinated these days and was afraid she would never be able to stand back up)and rode in the sled with Luke. We even walked all the way to the park and rode down the slides. They were so fast from the cold and snow that I almost earned my pilot's license. So. much. fun! Can't wait to go out again...today? mommy, please? today?

Christmas, Christmas & More Christmas

So here we go! Since the last post we have been busy, busy, busy traveling and celebrating the holidays with friends and family. I'll keep my verbage short and just share pictures from our adventures. Thank you for all that made the holiday so very memorable. We love you!!!

Playgroup Christmas Party

Making cookies with mommy & daddy (yes, he's a saint. pretty sure the entire time he was cursing mommy under his breath).

Christmas Eve with cousin Lilly & Carolyn

Christmas at G & GG's house

The Tale of A Teeny, Tiny Snowman

Not sure if he can even be called a snowman or if we should shorten it to snman to reflect his abbreviated stature (all of about 7 inches). However small he may be, he is Sophia's very first snowman and thus, one for the record books. Please, hold your applause (we wouldn't want the thunderous roar to knock him over).

Thank you! Thank you!

A special message from Sophia to our great friends Mark & Julianne!

Tis The Season!

Having a toddler during the Christmas season is just too much fun. There is never a moment when you aren't reminded of the magic and fun through their eyes. Sophia is loving every second and so are we. She thinks Santa is just the best thing ever and sings Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer approximately 100 times a day. Here are just a few pictures of the fun we are having!

It's DONE!

Sophia's officially a big girl, living in a big girl room! And thank goodness she loves it and is actually excited to climb in to bed. I think it's been more emotional for me then for her. It's not easy to move your baby out of the room you planned for them before you even met them. Eh, or maybe i'm just an emotional pregnant sap? Hmmm...

And as you might imagine, daddy is still a bit stunned by the color. Even though we went as pale of a pink as we could, it's still PINK. I keep having to remind him that she is indeed a girl and he is soon to be father of yet another girl, thus pink will likely rule his world for at least a few years. Sorry, daddy : )
