I finally got pictures off my camera (one of them - still need to do the other)... but here is a re-cap of the last month or so!

Our best friend Will is such a sport! (and looks too good in a dress!!) He's used to his big sister dressing him up - Taylor had no problem filling those shoes! :-)

A friend's birthday party - our first time bowling!

We went with our friends Connor and Evie to the Magic House - Here's Evie and her mommy on the big electricity ball and Taylor below on one of the slides!

Taylor's Valentines party at school - hanging out with Will, of course!

Showing off the bookmark she made.

Mrs. Peregoy helping to open the "loot".

This week we had a couple days of great snow (which has since melted) but not before we got some good sledding in! (notice - its dark!) Daddy and Mr. Caleb took us sledding and then out for dinner!

Taylor got ahold of the camera at dinner and snapped her first pictures - I'd call them "art!"

Taylor leaving the tip - and Mr. Caleb supervising!

I'm a Bad Blogger!

Sorry for my absence! I've been extremely busy these days - and if I look back at what I've been doing... I can't even tell you! (I feel like I'm spinning my wheels these days!) Anyway, here are a couple pictures that I've gotten off the camera of Taylor - playing with Play Dough. (The rest of my pictures haven't made it off the camera lately!) I'll be better about posting pictures - I promise!! :-)

Daddy & Daughter @ the Zoo!

Eric & Taylor visited the zoo yesterday while Mommy was home in bed! I was glad to give them a daddy/daughter day! They had a great time and got to see some up close animals on a very uncrowded day!

Taylor and the hippo friend!

How a Good Cajun Shovels Snow!

We had our first good snow of the year - which caught us without snow shovels! No worries, Eric used his Cajun ingenuity to improvise!

It's Here... mostly!!

I finally took the Christmas break to be productive and got my website up and running (my Christmas cards had the site URL on them, so it was my motivation!)

Most of the site is functioning - well enough! I have to finish a couple things, but it was time to get it launched!

Visit it and look around!

Christmas #1

We were so excited to have Mimi & PopPop come in town to celebrate Christmas. We have had such a fun time doing all kinds of holiday things! Here are a few pictures:

Mimi & PopPop got Taylor a beautiful doll house with all kinds of accessories! We were so surprised!

The best gift ever!

Taylor's gift to daddy - an M&M Christmas tie - it was so great!!

A pair of real Texas cowboy boots

Santa's Helpers with all the makings of some yummy Christmas cookies!

Making the dough

Daddy was a good sport and wore his tie to work - and got LOTS of compliments!

We actually had a little Christmas snow! The first one that stuck this year!

Our Christmas jammies - but the posing for a cute picture escapes Taylor!!

Maybe a little pinch will help!??

One last cookie making experience - gingerbread men!

Ice Skating!

Eric came home a little early today and we headed out to the park to go ice skating for the afternoon. It was Taylor's first attempt at the winter sport, but she actually did really well! By our last time around, she was going faster than Mr. Caleb could skate to keep up with us! Enjoy the pictures and video at the bottom!

Preschool Thanksgiving

Taylor had her Thanksgiving concert/dinner at school Tuesday night. It was the first time she was up on stage singing. (sniff) I got teary when they all started to belt it out! We had a great time - here are a couple pictures:

I'll try to post a video soon!

Showing off the butter they made in school for the dinner

Walking up on stage with her teacher's aid, Ms. Hagemann

SO Cute!!!

Enter to Win!!!

One of my oldest and very best friends is hosting a give-a-way on her blog for a VERY cool toddler item! Check it out - and get to know Adam & Andrew and their story. They are truly little miracles!

Pictures from a Friend

Taylor has a boyfriend.

His mom and I are becoming good friends too! She's an aspiring photographer and she and I have really had fun getting to know each other and talk shop while the kids play! (Will... for those of you who know, is the little boy in Taylor's class who received a smack in the face from Taylor a couple months back - I guess it was a way of saying "I like you" because they're really the best of friends!)

Gina was so gracious to take some cute pictures of the crew while Eric's parents were in town. Here are a few:

The infamous "fish face." She does it without even being prompted!
