Just Because Day

What a fun day. We got a lot done this morning, and had a great time doing it. Erma joined us for part of the day too. Some pictures. Can you guess which things Nani chose to do?

St. Patrick's JB Day

Someone very special turns 6 on March 17. I think that calls for a St. Patty's day themed JB day, don't you. So Nani, what will it be. You can choose 6 of these options.

• 
  
  Breakfast at your choice
• Paint a picture in/for Essie's craft room
• Play a game at home
• Play a game at Essie's
• Pick out a book or poster at ABC Toy Zone
• Go to a nursery/flower shop to pick out flowers
• Get nails "done"
• Shop for jewlery
• Shop for a birthday dress
• Paint something at Color Me Mine
• Pick out ice cream or hot chocolate
• Choose stuff for mailboxes

Nani's Birthday

Had a great party last night. Didn't think to pull the camera out until kinda late, but here's what we got. Wish you could have been there.

Nani got a "china doll" which JAC was quite interested in. Took my first video and while it's not real great, you can see a little of his enthusiasm with this. The boy is taking multiple steps, but I couldn't get that on camera.

Update - OK, the video thing isn't going to work as it's been "processing" for 12 hours now. I'll see if I can't figure out what I'm doing and try to get it up later

Getting Ready

Nani gave me permission to post these. There's going to be a party tomorrow.

In case you can't tell from the picture this says "come to Anna's princess party"

Ikea, here I come

Conversation at my house upon the arrival of two guests

Lolly: Essie, can you read a story?

Nani: You need a couch in here

Essie: I was just thinking I needed one

Nani: Yah, 'cus then I could lay down on it

Lolly: and we could sit on it to read stories

You can definately tell we're related, eh? Two of my favorite things to do, lay down and read stories. So glad to see these girls develop the same passions.

Don't you just love fall?

JAC is 6-months old plus

Last Friday the Stewartvillians invited me over for family night (N & F were in town too). It also happened to be JAC's 6-month birthday, so I thought I'd share some pictures of him. Isn't he getting big? He doesn't even look like the same baby from my posts last month. Jama and Nani, wanted in on the pictures, so these are some silly pics of them too.

Nani Nu, I love you. Lots of good shots to choose from, here's some of my favorite.
