"I do It"

If only her legs were a little longer.

brrrr

This is the last of it, we hope.

What a difference a week makes

No snow...65 degrees...everything was great for the one day of spring. We went to the park and Kate was so happy to shed the layers.

time with daddy

I have been in the kitchen updating the blog and cooking a yummy dinner of chipotle flank steak and sweet potato fries with lemon garlic aioli. Matt and Kate have been playing. Two things have happened:

1) they sit on the coffee table and 2) Kate, using her drum, says she is an astronaut. Please let school be back in session tomorrow.

We have been out of school for 5 of the last 10 school days. Crazy. The weather and us. During this time I have become the bad mom and put apps on my iPhone so Kate could play some games (and I could have some quiet). She has now figured out how to use the camera at some level. Aunt Fran was home for the weekend and she, too, helped Kate learn the iPhone. Kate thought these images were worth photographing.

Valentine's Day

Another day of snow. Another day that Kate thought was Christmas. Especially with her ubercool, new backpack for school (thanks, Mimi and Papaw). And a little snuggle time with aunt Jenny.

on the mend activities

This has begun as a long month for us. Kate, once again, has the "illness." We don't know what it is, but the latest thought it allergies and a cold. A third round of steroids has helped, and she is sleeping through the night. This is what Kate looked like all last week. (By the way, I did a helluva job cutting her bangs. I need to stick to my profession, I know).
During the snow, I pulled out my ski bag to get my snow pants out. In it, I found these sunglasses (don't ask). Kate has taken them as her own, and she is wearing them inside mostly. G.daddy wears his glasses on his head; Kate now does, too. No matter that mine are either on my head or on my face, she now has to "do like g.daddy."
This picture could be titled "waiting for the Saints to win the Superbowl." I am in for a world of trouble, I think.
"kickin'" The new move.
At the athletic club, Kate enjoys the play area. Juuuuudy lets her play "Blue's Clues" on the 'puter. So, naturally, she wants to use mine. I stuuuupidly showed her an Elmo game and attached my desktop mouse to the laptop.

***Yes, I have noticed the grainy pictures. I am hoping to get a new camera for my birthday. I am researching and thinking and deciding and researching and ... until then, the iPhone pictures will be used.
