Secondary Fermentation...

...begins.

Tummy Time

Olive trying to watch TV.

Awesome Beard

The beard does make him look cooler.

Snow Angel

First Day of 'School'

Olive's first day of daycare.

Cookie Decorating?

Not sure she was decorating as much as she was eating.

A Grandma's Touch

After trying to get Ivy down for an hour, I conceded and told Ivy that we had to have quiet time in the living room with Grandma and Olive.  Either the peer pressure of Grandma and Olive sleeping or Grandma's gentle touch resulted in the documented scenario.

I'd place my bet on the latter.  She worked her magic in 5 minutes flat.

My Girls

They are the best.

Step 1

100 billion yeast cells and growing.

Poor Thing

Up early, fever, dry heaves.  Hurumph.

A Fun Thursday

Abbi and Ivy sharing marshmallow-less Lucky Charms, enjoying Wallace and Gromit while Olive naps in the corner.  A good Thursday for Grandma and me.

My Little Chatter Bug

She likes to talk.



Now that I'm back at work after maternity leave, I miss our frequent conversations on those days.  Whatever she's chattin' about seems to make her happy.

To be young again

...and have no qualms about eating snow.

Apparently, it can make you sleepy.

Daughter of the son of the Gadgeteer

Failed to get her asleep again after her car nap.  Instead she plays with the Kindle Fire while Dad searches the Web.  And then Mom blogs about it.

Like father, like daughter.

Ditto.

Said Olive.

Overly Excited

The excitement was palpable coming home from our trip to Northern Brewer.

The Stinker

Our own version of the famous artwork, the Thinker.

Daddy's little girls.

And his aching neck and back.  So worth it.

Side note: who else loves Jason's beard?!?  Stopped shaving when Olive arrived and has been sporting it ever since.

Happy little sister.

Happily watching her big sister in swim class today.
