Me: Anna, do you know what your face looks like?

Me: A kitty cat?
Anna: Yes, I painted hers face too! (referring to her stuffed animal)

The Big Apple

We had a great weekend in NYC. Rob and Anna had a lot of time together while I was in conference. They visited FAO Schwartz, the Carosel, diners, and Central Park. We got to see Maggie/Jasper and Cari/Chris which was loads of fun. Rob and I treated ourselves to an incredible dinner at Gramercy Tavern. I was really surprised to see how kid-friendly the City is.
--Cue Beyonce's "Single Ladies (put a ring on it)" and Anna says, "Daddy, I need to DANCE!"

Singing

Anna loves to sing, and I have been trying to capture some of her performances. The trouble with this particular two year old, is that she likes to watch herself WHILE she is performing.

Budding ballerina

This is Anna's idea of ballet. She really likes it when her daddy copies these moves.

What's new?

Fancy-Nancy sunglasses


Our budding ballerina


No better time than bedtime to wear red sequin shoes!

Halloween here we come!

We got crafty last night and came up with this awesome wreath. As it turns out, Anna is really scared of spiders and snakes.
