Number Four...

Typical Tuesday

Little Miss P has officially moved out of her crib! I snuck in with the camera to catch her waking up in her big girl bed for the first time. She is has been a rock star at sleeping in it. I was so worried it would be a hard transition (and that the fabulous napping would cease) but so far so good! Honestly, I don't think she has figured out she can get out be herself yet, but lets just keep that between us for now. 4/22

Happy Merrill smiling for the camera, she totally hams it up anytime she sees it. I need to take her for a photo shoot, she would be super fun. She is just playing in the sink getting a bath and silly hair doo's from Aunt Tang. 4/22

On the other hand, this is the face I always get from this little girs when she sees the camera. I hear a silly "cheeeze!" and get a big ol' silly smile (complete with closed eyes) to the sky. I hope this phase doesnt last to much longer ;) Here she happens to be waiting for preschool carpool while anxiously awaiting the days trike-a-thon! 4/28

YES! It is a spoon in Mr. T's hand :) He is starting to use a spoon to feed himself! It is so fun to watch, we are all very proud of him. Now if we could only get him to use it in something other then mexican rice... 4/28


(I know, I know, I am pathetic. Its been way to long since I blogged. One of these days I will get back into the swing of it!)

I should blog...

There are some things I really should be blogging about...

I should blog about the fun Breakfast at Tiffany's Bunko I hosted and how grateful I am for all my wonderful girlfriends...

I should blog about this sweet girl learning how to walk, starting to sign, pointing, and playing peek-a-boo (all things i cling to and love to observe not only because she is adorable, but because for me, they are signs of a healthy mind and non-autistic behaviors)...

I should blog about the shower we just threw for one of my best friends, about how fun it was, and about all the wonderful people that helped...

I should be blogging about this little boy, about how I have never known such sweet and sour. About how he is trying to send me to an early grave, or maybe just an insane asylum...

I should blog about the really fun trip Tim and I got to take up to Colorado to visit my sister and her family, and meet my newest and very adorable nephew...

I should blog about this amazing little girl, and how fun it is to watch her learn and grow and carry on conversations (and how she thinks Edward Cullen and Troy Bolton are hot). I should blog about her, and wonder how it is possible that we just celebrated her 3rd Birthday (happy Birthday sweet girl)...

I should be blogging about all of this. But I just can't quite seem to sit down and get it done. So i guess this will have to do! I am hoping this blogging blah doesn't last for too long, and I will be back to regular blogging soon! xoxo

Losing a good friend

Our sweet little Reagan passed away yesterday.

I always said I wasn't a dog person, never growing up with dogs or having much luck with pets at all. But after Tim and I got married, and he was working in California I found myself alone a lot. Enter Reagan. Tim and bought her to keep me company while he was gone, she was my best friend during that time, and I quickly realized I was indeed, a dog person. We enjoyed her company for 6 years, and we will all miss her. She has been pretty sick for a while now, we had her on a special diet (yes i cooked for my dogs) and on 2 medications. We thought they were helping, but she was just to sick. So here's to you little Reagan, thanks for teaching me how to be dog lover, keeping me company, making me feel safe (you were pretty tough for 10 pounds) and sleeping under the covers to keep my feet warm. I will miss you.

 

*I spent the first year of her life cleaning up every kind of mess imaginable. She was very a mischievous puppy with those big ears and that wrinkly forehead.

** Here I am (9 months pregnant) with with both Reagan and Piper. Apparently I had nothing better to do pre-kids then tie bows on my dogs and take pictures?

Sickies

All the little kidlets around here have the sickies.

here's to hoping everyone starts feeling better, and we
actually get of the house in the next few days!

FOUR?

 

Townsend turned 4 years old last Thursday. I am a little late posting, but here's a Happy birthday shout out for our little man.  We had a party for him on Saturday night with lots of good friends, yummy barbecue (although I think all he had was cantaloupe and popcorn), and one of my favorite desserts - lemon and chocolate lush with a few cute little monkeys...

happy birthday townsend, we love you!
