Balloon Jordan

I brought a balloon home from the birthday party for Jordan. He was SO happy and played with it at bath time.

Bathtime!

I love me some Gigi.

Heartwarming Pictures

Or, at least Mama thinks so...

I love my bath!

Just a handful of pictures (by Mama)

Mama here. Up at 1 am. Listening to Gigi breathe heavy. She has had a fever for more than 24 hours which is not her usual. Poor girl. Finally, some new pictures. My in-house technology consultant has informed me that with Picassa, I will be able to post pictures faster and easier than ever. I used a workaround suggested by a friend, but am ready for the upload of many pictures with one click.
And, this is why Gigi shouldn't be going to the grocery store (or ANY store for that matter) with Daddy. Can you say "wrapped around finger"? She brought this "thing" home from the specialty food store Allen goes to....same store that produced a Hello Kitty tin with a cake in it that we "needed"...it is still in the pantry, cake uneaten. The "thing" below is filled with fruit jellos or something like that. I don't think Gigi really likes them, though the picture tells a different story. She just likes the container which becomes a bank when they are all gone. Maybe I can make them magically disappear?
We have a picture of Gigi with this same cat when she was not even 1 year old. I should dig it out. Very friendly cat.

Melese....what a sweetheart and beauty. He celebrated his 2nd birthday last week and we had a blast at the party. Check out the amazing cake made by his Dad. Now, that is LOVE.





And, last weekend, we hired a new cleaning crew. They did an amazing job!

Fun in Florida

Park time!

You WILL love our Jordan

Vacation bathtime

Mar Vista Farmers Market Halloween Festival

This morning, the whole family took a bath (Jordan was having a great time!) and then we headed to the Mar Vista Farmers Market. Jordan was a little sad, so I reached out to hold his hand and he stopped crying. We met my friend, Gemma....had our faces painted and danced to some music by Birdy.

Painting...with brushes, hands, feet and more

Nanny G got me some great paint supplies for my birthday. Above, you will see the spill-free cups for my paint. Below is the beginning of a fun painting play date with Meazi and Melese. You will notice that it started out with us using the rollers Nanny G gave me...but when it was time to mix paint and create other colors....well,

....we started using our hands to make pink from red and white and it all became

more of a body painting experience.

We were covered from head to...

hands....to...

arms to...

hair to ..... well, we were covered everywhere
