Yay Pasquiers!

Congratulations to Kristen, Mike, and big sister Sara! Mick FINALLY arrived with a little help on 3/13 at 3:13 pm. How crazy is that??

Adventures in Big-Girl Land

It seems as if Anna has been growing up a lot lately. She likes to play with her baby dolls. Here they are watching Barney.


Anna is changing her baby doll's diaper.

Rocking her baby doll to sleep.

Oops, babies can't sleep on their tummies. There, that's better...


Anna is modeling the dress that she will wear to Uncle Mike and Aunt Amy's rehearsal. I didn't take a picture of the flower girl dress, which we luckily tried on first. I couldn't get Anna to take this one off, despite the fact that it is still a little big. She even took a nap in it!


Anna is helping daddy's dreams come true. She likes to play golf and whenever daddy is watching PGA stuff on TV, she busts out her set of clubs and balls. Daddy is still working on her grip.


Here's what happened when Anna got frustrated with the way she was hitting the ball...


Drinking from a cup like a big girl.


When Grandma, Pops, and Uncle Steve came for a visit, we decided to go to Jazzercise. Uncle Steve was awesome!!

The Potty Dance

For those of you who are not up to date in the world of potty training, Huggies has come up with a new marketing scheme. In this video, Anna and Nanny are doing the "Potty Dance".




The best part about the commercial is that it involves many adults making total fools of themselves and having a stupendous time doing it...

Creative Endeavors

When Pooja came to visit two weekends ago, she brought gifts- books for Anna, and Godiva chocolate for Shaun and me. We're still not sure which she liked better!

Anna thought some Mr. Potato Head glasses might help her read, but she was sadly disappointed.


Anna has discovered crayons! I walked out of the kitchen to get some laundry, and when I returned, I found a purple colored floor. Luckily, these crayons are the washable kind (crayola's got some geniuses at work there!) I gave Anna a wet rag, and she went to town.



I think that Anna had WAY more fun cleaning up and eating the crayons than doing the drawing.

Red crayons are the best!!

Happy Valentine's Day

LOVE, CUPID!!!



What? No chocolate for breakfast?

For Nanny and Poppy

Two silly stories...

Shaun bought some Lucky Charms and made the mistake of giving Anna some. So, like any young child (and some adults), she ate all of the marshmallows, then asked for more. We told her that if she wanted more, she would have to eat the cereal part first. While we weren't looking, she knocked a bunch out of her bowl ("uh oh") and Fritz scarfed it down. We put Fritz out.

Getting desperate, Anna dumped the entire bowl on the floor. Then, to get rid of the evidence, she grabbed the little sweeper vacuum, turned it on, and cleaned up the cereal!




Early Sunday morning, we could hear Anna talking and moving around in her bed, but neither of us could muster the energy to actually get up yet. After several unsuccessful attempts to get me awake (Mommy! Mommy!), Anna tried a different idea.

"Mommy, BEEEP!"

hunh??

"Mommy, BEEEEP!"

I guess Anna realized that the alarm clock had never failed to get us out of bed...
