Happy Birthday!!!

Sweet Anna Clare is six years old today! WOW! I am amazed! Anna Clare, you bring me such joy! I will always remember that wonderful day six years ago as we awaited your arrival, not knowing if our firstborn would be a boy or a girl! What a happy day! Your sparkling eyes and soft voice just melt my heart! I hope you will always know how very much your Mommy, Daddy and sister love you! Happy Birthday to you!

Disney Pics

Here are a few of the many!



You will see this "leash" on Owen in many of the pictures. It was the best $5 we spent! We could put her down without her getting away.


We did not buy this but I had to get a picture. It describes her perfectly!



Someone looks a little scared of "It's a small world"...and I don't mean the child!

Swishy...Again!!!

AC brought home the class pet, Swishy, again this weekend. I didn't realize that Swishy made a second round home with everyone. Remember what happened last time we had Swishy? Hopefully things will go a little better this time!

Right now, Swishy is napping here...



Do you see all those pacis? We need to get rid of them, but I am not doing so great of a job. I broke down in Target this week and grabbed a new one right off the shelf and stuck it in her mouth. Yes, I did. For the peace of the other shoppers. And for mine. Mostly mine! Our pediatrician would be so proud!

AC sucked her fingers and we broke her of that by using the stuff that tastes so bad (for nail biters) on them. It took about 3 nights and she was cured. Never mind that I sat outside her bedroom the first night crying as I listened to her scream and shake the crib rails. So pacis are a new experience for us. I think I am going to have to turn this over to my husband! Any suggestions?

Wacky Wednesday!

At school today! Thank you Mary Selwyn for letting us borrow your shaker!

This is where we've been...

We had a blast, but are just now catching up on laundry and sleep. I have finally gotten "It's a small world after all" out of my head! Can you believe we only rode it twice? With 2 girls? G.G. went with us, so adults outnumbered children - a big help! Pictures to follow later...there's been lots going on over here! Oh, and if you're wondering about AC's eye, she fell off the bed the first night and hit the nightstand, making for a nice cut and black eye for the trip. She was a real trooper about it, though, and it looks so much better!
