Splash!!!

We had only a tiny bit of rain and a glimpse of cooler weather, but a 2 year-old knows how to take advantage! We had to hunt for it, but she found a great splashing puddle.

Coming to a Theatre Near You...

....Dublin!!!! She had her first theatre experience this weekend with her Daddy. They saw Shrek 4 and she loved it---especially the babies and the parties.

I'm Two!!! Part One.

Dublin has had a very busy few months!

She had a visit from Nana, Papa, Auntie Erin & Uncle Eric in February just in time to take a trip to Austin for Rob & Cheryl's wedding.

We had some more unexpected snow---more than she will probably ever see again in Texas.

She got her big girl bed while they were here, too.

She has continued her gym class with "Ms. Marie" three days a week, where she gets to play, sing in circle time, engage in parachute games, and play musical instruments.

In April, she found out she will be a big sister!

Late spring and summer meant lots of outings and fun!

I'm Two!!! Part Two.

...And more fun!!

June brought a new interest in everyone's birthday---then it was time for her birthday party. She had a puppy party.

Late July brought with it an exciting first plane ride to Wisconsin. Dublin had a wonderful visit filled with "big red barns", backyard swimming, zoos, a parade, fireworks, and lots of family time. She even had a chance to visit the pilot in the cockpit when we landed.

Since we have been home, Dublin has increased her social calendar by adding storytime and gymnastics to her weekly activities. She is talking up a storm, potty training, and interested in doing everything (she wants to do), while telling us "I not doing..." whatever we request. She is a big girl, now! :o)

Happy Holidays!!

Sorry for the delay...I wish I could blame it on holiday hustle and bustle, but really we've had a rather calm holiday season. I was having technical difficulties with my camera...and I wanted to give a visual to go with our holiday splendor:

An entire weekend of giving thanks with family and friends...

Toddler gym time...

A new puppy in the house (Kelly)...

A cookie decorating party...

A chilly Christmas parade...

Christmas tree lighting...

Three trips to Santa's village...

A wondrous Christmas Eve...

A snowy Christmas morning...

And a partridge in a pear tree.

Happy Holidays!!!!
