Tent People

Jane and Daddy pitched a tent in the backyard (maybe I have been a little rough to live with lately). They had a great time playing in there and Daddy was instructed many times to "Sit, Dada". Daddy can't wait to take Janie camping and Mommy can't wait to stay in a hotel that night!

Happy Birthday Kennedy!

We celebrated cousin Kennedy's seventh birthday last weekend with a Bowling Birthday Party! Jane bowled her first game and beat both me and Andrew. She was so excited when the ball went down the lane that she did a little running dance and fell two inches and hit her face on the lane. Yay! Another bruise (but that's blue icing in the picture)! All in all, it was a great time.

Making Her Mark

I think that Merriwether first called drawing "making my marks". It's a term that we have adopted as well. Janie loves to make marks with crayon, yet she prefers markers but her mean mother won't let her use markers very often. (It's the kindergarten teacher in me). All crayons are to be known as the color "boo" and she prefers you to "sit" and watch while she creates.

Say What?

What caption would you write for this picture?

They even look alike!

Because it's cute. That's why!

Mmmmm Yogurt!

No, that's not Regan from the Exorcist, that's our beautiful Jane Ellerslie eating a nice bowl of blueberry yogurt. Did you know that it is an excellent moisturizer as well?

Oh and don't be fooled by my boastful sister, we make our own yogurt too! (Okay, Andrew does. But we are part of a team, right?)

after these messages

we'll be right back!

I'm not giving up on the blog. I'd never let Hilary win that easily. We'll be back later in the week with a vengeance!
