Tinkle toes?

Tickling the ivories takes on a whole new meaning now, doesn't it?

A little nippy

We can feel autumn slowly creeping up on us here in the high desert.  In the morning, the air isn't quite as warm as it a few weeks ago.  Sammy needs to start wearing sweaters in the morning but by the afternoon it is in the high 80's.  Go figure.

Now we play with cars

I can't help but feel sorry for Olivia now.  With her older (but not by much) cousin around who seeks out cars to play with, she is forced to play ram the car, throw the car.....

Hold still

Daddy and I were talking on the phone last night and I told him to snap a photo of Sammy for this blog.  He asks, 'You mean like now? She's wearing a tutu around her neck."  I said, "Yes!  Perfect!"  Now you can see that she does have the tutu as a type of necklace and you can see her nose is running from her very first pre-school cold...that she has managed to share with her entire family.  She's a giver.

A little piggy

Mommy knows that I'm a sucker for little girls in pig tails.....

One year ago today, give or take a couple of days

I don't think that she'd do this now, do you?  So precious!

Here it is!

The first hint of some naturally curly hair on little Olivia!  I absolutely love it!!
