Hooray!

I made lasagna for dinner tonight, thinking that there would be plenty leftover for Chris to eat this weekend while he was home alone studying and working. As an added bonus, Lila, who never eats more than a few bites of ANYTHING ate almost an entire piece of lasagna for dinner!

As we were finishing up dinner, I said to Chris, "Good. There is plenty leftover for you to eat this weekend." And then Lila shouts, "Hooray!", complete with a fist pump.

First Art Class

In my head, this post was going to be a super-cute picture of Lila holding the project she made at her very first art class today. However, every time I handed her the project she threw it on the ground because she wanted to play with her Trader Joes balloon.

So, here's a picture of Lila's art project from her very first art class. We are trying something new this session and the first day was a lot of fun.

Lila also has her first full ponytail today. Isn't it cute?

Cheesin' for a self portrait.

Moms Gone Wild

Okay, not really. But I did have a very fun girls weekend with Beth and Courtney in the suburbs of D.C. We went to a movie, shopped, and even had a night out and all enjoyed being free from our day to day schedules set by our kids. I am exhausted since I don't usually do that much in a month, but it was worth it!

Drawing Together

Ian, draw me a picture!

Yay! He's doing it!

Look at the nice picture Ian is drawing.

Aunt Katie

After hearing that Lila let Jim carry her from the restaurant to the car on Thursday night, Katie convinced Tony, Tim, and Molly to come to our house for dinner and games on Friday night so that she could continue in her quest to win Lila over. She had success! Lila played with her, talked to her, and even sat on her lap for a few seconds.

Lounging Around

Lila brought me the Spongebob blanket and said, "sit Mommy" and then she got one of her blankets and sat by me. Lucy, of course, didn't want to miss out.

Happy New Year!

We stayed in last night and celebrated New Year's Eve at home. Ian came home about 1:00 from his visit with his dad, so he was able to celebrate with us. Chris and Ian played a board game, then we played Wii and watched a movie. The movie finished just in time to watch the countdown.
