Little Gym Recital

Not only was it a big day for Winston; it was a big day for Veda as she had her season finale dance & gymnastics recital. Kathy was not able to attend but I was able to catch most of it.

Veda's first movie movie in 3D. As we walked out the door for the movie, she said, "it's a beautiful day today, birds are chirping, chickens are cock-a-doodle-dooing, what a perfect day for a movie". She kept the glasses on for about half of the movie...until she realized she couldn't really touch the people flying off the screen.

Book Nook

Nana had her fair share of puzzles and reading today... spoiled little girls.

Fun in the.... Snow

Bull and Nana arrived on Wednesday. After an evening of painful and consistent contractions I thought it best to call in the calvary early. Turns out there has been little action since then but we've sure enjoyed their company. When Adele wasn't busy eating the snow she was enjoying the snowball fight.

Veda decided that she was going to ice skate today. We tried to explain to her that we needed ice to skate and she explained to us that snow is ice so she would skate on that. We gave up on the reasoning and decided to let her put her skates on so she could figure it out herself. Well... we did find a small patch of ice near the curb and that was all it took to satisfy her curiousity.

Happy Birthday Papi!

Happy Happy 60th! Veda sent you a "note" in the mail and I forgot to include the transcription. "Dear Papi, Happy Happy Birthday, Love Dear Veda. It's your birthday on 11:30 896. You will be the birthday boy. Come see us soon. Love Dear Veda."

37 weeks and 3 days - Full Term!

This poor third child has gotten no attention due to all the craziness in our lives througout this pregnancy. Good thing I remembered to document at least one bump photo before the big day. Last week they FINALLY scheduled me for the 18th at 11am EST. I'm praying that nothing happens before Bull and Nana get her next Sunday because I'm just not ready.

Finally Fun Outdoors!

Well it stopped raining and started to snow early last week! Turns out that two things get the neighbors outdoors... nice weather and snow. We met some neighbors and Veda had a blast making snow angels in the street with her new friends. Adele just couldn't stop shoving the snow down her throat. I finally intervened when I caught her scooping handfuls of slush off the street into her mouth.

Then of course it was 55 yesterday so we were able to walk to the park and then spent some time in our cul de sac til the sun set playing with the neighbor boys. Turns out there are quite a few boys on our street who are either Adele's age or slightly older than Veda... Veda didn't seem to mind and was having sword fights right along with the 1st graders. Now we have to get her her own light saber.

Overheard

Veda to adele:

Come into my playroom Adele. It's not scary. There are no skeletons, monsters or biting teeth.

This is particularly funny since biting teeth have been the weapon of choice between these two lately.

Best Buddies having fun at our new outlet mall - almost as good as Camarillo

Growth Spurt?

This is the kid that once wouldn't eat a thing. Now I can't keep her full. This is a 12:30a snack attack after she woke up and started screaming EAT EAT EAT!!!! She downed a serving of applesauce, 2 hunks of cheese and a handful of nilla wafers.
