A Thousand Words

Enough said.

A Little Aunt-sy

We are so lucky! Aunt Sheree was in town for back to back meetings and we got to spend two whole weekends together! We hardly sat still the whole visit. We played, walked, ate, shopped and stayed up late every night. Cece learned a few new things from Aunt Sheree including how to say "I don't know!" complete with grand hand gesturing as you can see above. Cece is still recovering from all the fun ... as is Mommy!

Aunt Sheree made sure to wind Cece up every night right before bed. Good times!

Who can focus on books at bedtime with such a special visitor in town?!

Oh, well. We'll sleep some other time.

We love you, Auntie and we'll see you again in May!

Spring Has Sprung

My Dad was a funny man. So many of our friends and family can instantly recall one of his jokes, quick comebacks or stories. He had one poem he used to recite to us kids every Spring. At the first and most perfect opportunity, Dad would stand up straight and strike a pose like he was in front of an esteemed group of colleagues and say:

Spring has sprung.

The grass is riz.

I wonder where

the flowers is?

After the first few years of laughing, we would groan. As we grew older, we'd moan and roll our eyes while hiding a grin or giggle so as not to encourage him. I smile broadly when I think about it now knowing that poor Cece is in for the same with her Daddy. So, off to the park we go to enjoy the amazing blue skies, the cries of the fledgling eagles and a run in the new grass to find out just where ... the flowers is.

I love you, Daddy.

Sock it to Me

When Cece woke up yesterday morning she had a sock on her hand. Evidently Daddy was making a pseudo sock puppet talk and tickle Cece the other night. Well, Cece caught on and has been doing it herself. Time to add some buttons and yarn, don't you think?!

From Brusha with Love

Every night Daddy does the rounds with Cece to get ready for bed. Before pajamas and books, we brush our teeth. Last night I heard Daddy call out from the bathroom, "Hey honey, I have a funny headline for the blog!". We had a good laugh and hope you do, too.

Girls Night In

Daddy is working late tonight so Cece and Mommy are having a girl's night. We are eating whatever we want for dinner, trying new hairstyles and taking goofy pictures. Couldn't ask for much more!

Grin and Barrette

There she is! Finally I can see that perfect face which has been covered up with hair lately. Trying to get a barrette in place has been impossible. But somehow today my ridiculous distraction tactics worked! Good thing I had the camera handy to capture what is clearly the cheekiest grin of all time. Isn't it?!
