This week had me bribing Maggie to do her speech homework with the promise of doing her nails…she’s so girly 🙂
First you File Them
Then You Paint Them!
My sister and her family came to visit – so I took the day off yesterday and we went to the zoo.
Visiting the Bears: Grey, Sharon, and Petra
TOO CLOSE!!
Grey Riding the "Elephant"

This week’s theme is “Thankful.” Burke “playing” with his new cousin, Petra, makes me thankful that there are cousins to play with; that we live close enogh to visit a whole bunch; and that Burke has become such a loving, gentle kid. 🙂

Attempted Sleepover
Cousin Grey was GOING to sleep in the same room with Burke and Maggie (and Mike), but as soon as his daddy left the room…so did Grey. 🙂
Are the waffles done yet?
Grandpa made waffles this morning!

At school this week, Burke and Maggie were asked to fill in a picture of a house with all the people who live there.
Maggie included the two cats. She also had one of her teachers write down “Cousin” Jessica (who is actually the nanny)…I suppose she IS at our house a lot 🙂
Burke also included both cats. And when I asked him to explain his, he said that Logan is standing on Daddy’s head…and Burke is standing on Maggie’s. Well. Okay then. (And I love that he still gives us all belly buttons!)

This week’s theme is: It’s a Video Age.
As luck would have it, we just went to the Circus yesterday!
I even took some video! I love it when I have stuff that just fits right into the chosen theme 🙂 I’m going to put pictures in as well…just because I can.
Watching the Pre-Show
Clowns!
The Ring Master
WOOT!
HAHA! We're at the Circus!!
Mommy's Favorite: Tigers!
Elephants are cool too

And to finish it out, here’s a video of Logan and Daddy having a blast while we were waiting for people to file out of the Circus.

And a matching picture, of course!
Catch me, Daddy!

Birth Day to my new little niece who hasn’t been named yet.
My sister had a little girl yesterday at 4:55 pm. All we know so far is that she arrived weighing 8lbs 6oz and 21 inches long and that she has beautiful dark hair. 🙂
Congratulations Sharon and Jason! (And big brother, Grey)

Nancy and Dad Working
Apparently my one-on-one time with my Dad started really young! (He used to show me how to use a new tool every week.) I think this has to have been taken in late 1975 or early 1976? I don’t look much older than 2 here…
