Spring in Winter

Remember when it was so nice and warm the 1st time? Or maybe it was the 2nd? It was February. We were at my parents' house and it was so very lovely. Everyone but Grace was home (although Aunt Dee Dee, you weren't in town either?) We had the lovliest day playing outside, blowing bubbles, playing the harmonica, playing ball and frisbee. Here is the documentation of that day on this cold day.

Swing

A few weeks ago (before it got warm, then cold, then warm, then cold again,) Uncle George hung up the swing I got for Pierce's birthday present in November. She thinks it is so much fun!!!! Everytime we look out the window she says "oh!" And gets so excited. Thanks Uncle George.

Snow Day!

Well, the snow loves Pierce. It's the second year of her life that she's seen snow and she's only been alive during two years. She was so funny- loved it, but would just hit a wall where she must have realized she was cold and couldn't take it anymore. She would cry and scream and throw her head back until I got her inside and distracted her with something. We didn't have gloves for her so we tried socks, Daddy's gloves, Dooba's gloves... all kinds of things. She LOVES ice. And says it so cute "eye-sh." So when she discovered that snow WAS ice she was just thrilled.

Worthy of it's own post.

We are raising quite the little dancer. Here are just a FEW of her moves.

Fired

I have not done a particularly good job of updating the blog lately! I just uploaded bunches of pics from my little digital camera, which is the one I've neglected since I started shooting with my big fancy camera. So, here is a little flash of the last few months. I dedicate this issue to my faithful little cybershot.

This captures Pierce at the beach in January perfectly. Aunt Grace picked her up just in time!


On the way to the beach... they live such hard lives.


we stopped at the most fun little park in Montgomery when we were waiting to meet aunt grace. There were these little cup-like things you could sit in and if you leaned back, they would spin around and around. I want them in my backyard. If you know what they're called or anything about them.... tell me!!


Pierce had some very important texts to send on the way down.


Peter and I went on a super fun date for Valentines. This picture is really blurry, but you get the gist.


Pierce has been doing a lot of coloring lately. Here she is, hard at work.


Sometimes she colors her face.


She had her first "jump, jump" experience at a superbowl party. She jumped for at least 30 minutes. Had the MOST fun.



Here is how she spent quite a bit of Christmas morning. and the second is her first steps in the sand.

the daily grind

I believe my little red head is discovering her big red headed will. She has very strong ideas about what she wants to do and when. I'm not enjoying the fits, but trying to pretend that it's just that she's grumpy about her molars coming in. She's been so easy and perfect til now, let's go with the molars.

Emi put her hair in pigtails this week- cute, huh? And we love to talk to Aunt Hagen on iChat. I captured a pic from that. She likes to show her tongue.

Ho Ho

Hagen begged me to put this on the blog and I just kept forgetting to scan it... Pierce was just not sure about good old ho ho this year.
