Weekend Fun!

We had a busy weekend with Ginny-bug. We started with big-girl swim lessons. Ginny started well, blowing bubbles in the water when teacher asked. She listened and paid attention. But, about half way through she got out of the pool and walked toward us because she was done. She got back in with some encouragement and finished the lesson by giving an impromptu big hug to teacher. She's the girl on the left side of the picture.

Then, we went on to cousin Noah's 5th Birthday bash. She had fun playing with all the family. And the family was treated to a trip down memory lane with some old family movies of the Missi and the rest of the girls putting on a fashion show, dancing to awesome music, talking about button fly jeans and doing Robbin Leach impressions. Why day, perhaps when there's nothing left for me to lose, I may try to put those up on the blog! Hahaha! Sorry, I don't have any photos handy of the party, maybe in another post.

The other photos here are of me and Ginny at the zoo for some brief daddy-ginny time. We watched an animal show and saw a bunch of snakes and lizards at the reptile house. Ginny was really impressed with this yellow snake and asked me to take its picture. Until next time, toodles!

Big hugs from cousin Elliott!

I figured this was a nice pic to share as I practice using blogger's email posting function. We'll see if it works.

This is from this past Saturday at Max' 1st birthday party.

Feet Gloves Work Fine

A couple months ago we were at the Wild Animal Park, now Safari Park.
Ginny hopped on the lilly pads around the main pond.  Reasonable minds differ on what happened, but regardless, Ginny fell into the cold duck pond and soaked her shoes and socks!  Thinking quickly, we got our girls feet nice and warm with an extra pair of gloves.  We think Ginny didn't like being able to wave at herself with her feet.  I think she would have preferred being cold than hbeing mistaken for having four hands.  We're awesome at parenting!

shopping with missi and gragra got ginny to nap on a weekend

That is a very abnormal thing. Ginny hardly ever naps on the weekend. Anyhoo, we're at a mall, and I am sitting on a bench, trying to pass the time with people watching.

That's not very interesting. So here's a pic of Ginny meeting Chinese Chip and Dale, as genuine as orange chicken!

Potty Training

We started potty training ginny last week. We,ve had some good days (only 1 accident at Disneyland and a couple of days at daycare) and some not so good days (2 or 3 accidents). But today, I am proud to announce that she had her first accident free day!!! A small victory, but we are oh so proud of her!
