Like the little lady's new hairstyle?? She had 30 clips in her hair today, all in neat little sections through her hair. She certainly is a trendsetter! Who knows maybe we'll be seeing all the runway models sporting this look come fashion week ;) Continue reading

The thunder started rumbling in the distance, the winds started picking up and the sky-well it just got DARK! I snuck out to take some pics of the clouds (as dark as... Continue reading

We needed to stop into Target this morning so I asked the little lady to please get dressed. This is how she came downstairs. Light up glasses, Rapunzel princess gown, and daughters in tow. She looked so darn cute how could I not let her go like this?? We turned... Continue reading

Tonight we met up with Marco and Thais for some delish dinner at NanKing. The restaurant just happens to be across the street from Friendlys so we popped on over to visit Angie at work. It was the perfect (sweet) ending to a nice dinner. Alex surely enjoyed himself :)... Continue reading

June 9- yummy
Image
Alex has taken to throwing food lately. He grabs fistfuls of food and flings it anywhere and everywhere saying "YUMMY!!!!!" the whole time, most likely because he starts throwing food and the dogs come out from nowhere to clean it up. He laughs and giggles and just enjoys the heck... Continue reading

June 7- Passers!!!
Image
Because, really, can you ever *really* have too many passers?????? Alex keeps a stash of pacifiers around the house and any time he sees one he has the compulsive need to switch out the old for the new. It's an all day long process that results in him using several... Continue reading

Every spring we get a little frog that hangs out near our front door. It's pretty usual to see the frog hanging out at night since the house lights bring LOTS of bugs to the area but today I noticed our little frog friend hanging out during the day. He... Continue reading

June 3- Beyond the Classroom

Today was our turn to go into Elizabeth's classroom for the "Beyond the Classroom". It's a special day-someone's mom or dad (or both) comes in and talks to the class about a family tradition, a fun family activity....whatever. Then the parent gets to stay for the Shabbat service with the... Continue reading
