For Grandma

Grandma Linda visited recently. Alli sang to her frequently. Now that Grandma is back home, she misses Alli's singing and made this request.

No time for commentary. The pictures speak for themselves.

How we spend our days.

This swing has been worth its weight in gold when it comes to provinding a place for Sidney to nap.

This is Pepper. We are dog-sitting. Pepper has become Alli best playmate over the last few days. Alli is trying to get Pepper to confess what her favorite color of crayon is before they go to the toy room to play with her dolls.

EDIT

Reply to Lisa's comment asking if having Pepper around makes us want a puppy.

NO WAY! Nothing against Pepper, she is a great, low-maintainance dog, but we are not ready for another dog right now. We are still mourning the loss of Boone. And loving the lack of dog hair around the house. But the bottomline is we will get another lab puppy when Dan has time to train it and we have settled down somewhere we hope to be for many years. (read not Pittsburgh).

Sidney-1 month

Daddy has the midas touch to get her to sleep on this night.

I carry Sidney around in a Moby wrap. I imagine being all cuddled up in it is just like being carried around by a mama kangaroo. She loves it. These pictures were taken while she is in it.

Christmas 2008. All about Alli

It was all about Alli this year. She LOVED Christmas.

Santa brought her a pink cowgirl hat.

She certainly did not get those amazing lashes from Mommy. I will take credit for the curls though.

Sidney's unhappy face!

But she was happy with a bath.

This is as close as Alli would get to Santa.
