Seriously, is it still winter!!!

Well, there isn't much going on here in Michigan except to try and stay warm. The temperatures have been in the teens during the last few days and I don't see that it is warming up any time soon. In fact, tomorrow we are supposed to get 3-4 more inches of snow. I know our friends in Wisconsin can relate and I believe they have more snow and it is probably colder there!! We feel your pain. Anyway, I just wanted to share some pictures of Anna and Daddy doing a little reading and playing before bedtime the other night. Anna LOVES books and you can't read enough to her.

Cake!!!

Anna and I made a Valentine's Day cake yesterday before her nap. She loves to help. She will say "Anna do, I help too pease." Anyway, I think Anna had a great time with the frosting. I think you'll agree.

Licking the spatula.

Putting sprinkles on the cake.

Who needs a fork when you can hold your cake like a sandwich. My kinda girl.

She ate every last bite!!

Fun at the Library

On Wednesday mornings, Anna and I head out to our local Library (or as Anna calls it, "lidaberry") for storytime. Today we dressed in our Valentine's Day finest.


This is Anna by the fish tank, one of the things she loves about going to the Library.


Sitting on the rug for storytime. She doesn't always stay on the rug but rather wants to sit in my lap. We also sang some songs today.


After storytime the kids get to do a craft and today they made Valentine's Day cards. I wonder who Anna's card is for!!!


Gluing on a heart.

Anna made her Valentine for Daddy. I know he will love it.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

More fun at the Library

Anna loves to play the computer games after storytime. She doesn't quite know what she is doing but she knows how to use the mouse. So cute to watch.



This little boy sat down and they had fun coloring pictures.

I think she had had enough!!

Surviving winter...

Not too much has been happening around here lately. We are surviving the winter and trying not to get the winter blues. The only excitement we've had lately is Anna has a new Mickey Mouse stuffed animal. We got it yesterday at the mall and she preceded to kiss him and she said "I love you Mickey." It was so cute. Anyway, hope you all are surviving the winter. I know my friends in Georgia, Florida and Virginia aren't buried in snow. Lucky you. Anyway, just some recent pictures of Anna and Mickey and putting on her stickers she received from Ava Bogen for Chinese New Year. Eventually, all those stickers ended up on me. Thanks Ava for the gifts.
