Tale of Two Dogs

Anna was sick this weekend and got to watch television with commercials for the first time. When she got better .. I learned just suggestible she is to advertising. She asked everyone, mail woman, neighbor, ect to get her a swimming puppy in brown. She found the right person to ask in Nana and she is so, so very happy. Charles had to replace the batteries after only 5 hours. We are going back to no television for Anna and Sam.



Swim puppy and Anna going for a swim



and taking a little nap.



Sam; however, is just happy that Stella lets his tug on his ears



and give she big wet, sticky handed hugs. He does not need a swim puppy yet.

Happy Star Wars Day

or rather we hope you had a Happy National Star Wars Day, yesterday.

Picnic Snacks

Charles had a little bubble blowing picnic for the kids this evening while I ran around the track.



Anna is a very good cheerleader ... "go mommy, go faster!"



Sam got to wear his new summer cap.

Sleeping With Stitch

This is what I found in Anna's bed this morning.



She got up in the middle of the night to move Stitch, the bubble blower, onto her bed and cover him up with his own warm, cozy.

Happy 8 Months Sam!

Mr. Sam and his pal Mickey Mouse.





When I was looking for Anna's Mickey photo from 2006, I saw this one and thought Steph and Jenny might like it.

Stich The Bubble Blower

Nana loves to blow bubbles and with the combo of Nana watching Anna and Sam so much the last few days and nice weather .. bubbles are a big thing around here. Since it was cold last night, "Stich got to come in and rest with us."



A better photo of Anna's "Tinkerbell hair."

Birthday Ballet

Yesterday was my birthday and it also happened to be a ballet performance day. So lucky for all of us .. not only did we got see Left Unsaid at the Newmark (a fancy, new, and different venue) we got to eat lunch out and have cake.



Pop pop's let Anna pick out the cake .. "NO TINKERBELL CAKE FOR YOU MOMMY! She is for me."
