Crazy Pose

Is she ready for America's Next Top Model or what?

Blogger

We have been busy over the last 2 years with this blog. If you didn't notice we just crossed the 13,000 mark for hits. Some of our friends have also started blogs including: http://alexanderbaird.blogspot.com/, http://archiefoll.blogspot.com/, http://doublestroller.blogspot.com/, LeAnn's Blog (sorry can't find the address) to name a few.

Welcome Back Kim & Pat

Kim & Pat just moved back to our neighborhood. They brought Amelia 2 princess dolls, Belle and Jasmine.

Teenager?

This is not a pose. How fitting that just a few days ago she went through the initial steps of potty training without much trouble at all.

Build A Bear

Amelia's Cousin (first once removed if my genealogy is correct) Ben gave her a Build-A-Bear for Christmas. She loves it.

Winter Princess

We are expecting an ice storm. Amelia is ready.

Bike Ride

Santa brought Amelia a new Dora Bike for Christmas. When we first saw the bike we thought it might be too large for her. However, as you can see she has no trouble riding it at all. Mom and Dad are the ones who have trouble keeping up with her.

telescope

We gave Amelia a small pair of binoculars. She calls it her telescope and wants to go outside every night and look at the moon.

Winter

Dad and Amelia by the fire.

Presents and More Presents

Dress up box from Nana and Grandpa Jim
Dora Castle from Papa AV and Janet
Dora Bike from TaTa and Papa Larry

Christmas Time Is Here

This is what it's all about. Christmas eve, tearing into presents, and being extra nice because you know Santa is watching.

Christmas Card

We were too lazy this year to send out christmas cards so here it is.


This was an earlier try on the stairs. Can't you just taste the enthusiasm.

"Dora" Haircut

Amelia got a real haircut about a month ago. According to her it is a "Dora" haircut. And everyone else, we get "two daddies" haircuts. Two daddies derives from Hardball and other newscasts that she tolerates on a nightly basis. She uses the term two daddies to describe anything that is adult. Dividing the world into things that are of her age and everything else has begun.

Time to Meet Santa

Amelia was so confident when she finally got to meet the big man. She quizzed him to make sure he really was Santa. You live at the North Pole? You have a beard? You have black boots? You have a slead? You come down the chimney? She was convinced - he was the real deal.

Policeman & Fireman

They have been introducing her to authority figures at school

I like this one because I think she looks like the pope blessing people.

Snowman

Amelia and I made a snowman recently. Not the grandest creation ever but she enjoyed it.

Santa Is Coming

Playing in the Snow

Snowed In

We are all home for a snow day. Little santa wants to go out and play.

Happy Thanksgiving

After a nice dinner ...
Amelia decided it was time for everyone to go!
