Video for Grandparents

Daddy captured this picture last night in the tub and it just needed to be shared. They have such a great time together every night for bath. We are so glad his new job allows for that kind of father/daughter time.


Margaret was helping organize her books for our library trip tomorrow. She does it with such flair. I love it.

I have been trying to post multiple videos today, but these are the only one that seems to be loading. Be on the lookout for more soon. I took these just so her fans could see the new hairdo and Margaret running around with a favorite doll named Honey. ("Cause it was a gift from Great Aunt Leah") I added the great aunt part just for her.

Summer Fun

Even when there is no water, we still have fun in the pool. Right now she's playing with her "suitcase". It's both a dry erase board and chalk both. Thanks Kerry for finding it at a yard sale.
We went to a BBQ down the street. Leah and Aubry love Margaret and come to the house as mother's helpers. Margaret has the best time with them, especially when she brings her dolly and goes on the trampoline.

Another large piece of plastic that lights up and makes noise. Hooray! (Me being sarcastic) However they always seem to be a favorite. This is an elmo airplane from friends in GA.
Getting ready to Skype!
New hair do. Checking out the street.
Helping daddy and Mike with the bikes. She's a good mechanic.

Just cuteness all around!

Changes Part II

We have now been back in Flagstaff for three weeks and Margaret is settling right in. She loves to sit out front and sort through the rocks. Daddy picked up a pail and shovel at Ikea along with the new easel and table and chairs. All of them are a hit. She loves her "little" furniture.
Drawing at the new easel.
Mei came over to visit again and girls had a great time. They ate snacks in the ducky (it used to be a baby bathtub for travel). They then had more snacks at the table. This of course was after the playing outside, coloring, music time, blocks, singing songs and a walk.

Grammy knitted Margaret a new sweater. It is so cute and we planned a whole outfit around it. As you can see Margaret really likes in and continued to play in her sweet new sweater. It will be prefect for chilly Flagstaff summer mornings. Thanks Grammy! And thanks to Honey for going the extra mile to get the last of the yarn.



POOL TIME!
The outdoor pool just opened and we headed over this weekend for some fun. It has a zero entry and a mushroom that spills water. Margaret gave it her all. We did have to move inside to the indoor pool because the wind was making her lips turn blue.
You can see how long her legs are getting. We measured yesterday and she is 31 1/2 inches tall.

Changes Part I

Just another boat shot that we found on the camera. Margaret LOVES going out on the boat. We all look forward to visiting Gram and Pops for more boat trips and fun times.
This little chair was Daddy's and now Margaret is testing it out. So cute and the seat was made by Gram. It has a teddy bear on it.
Right before we moved we went for our last visit to Biltmore. The baby goats had just been born. They were a huge hit with Margaret. She even got to pet one named Nibbles. She also chased around the chickens and drove the tractor. It was a very fun last trip there. Besides friends, we will probably miss Biltmore the most about Asheville.


Grand Canyon visit. This is Margaret's fourth one since she was born. Now we are ready for hiking. She loves climbing on the rocks, playing with the rocks and holding the rocks. Luckily the canyon is full of rocks.


Staying hydrated!
Mei Li came over to play with Margaret. We got out the pool and our sparkly swim suits. It was tons of fun. We barely paused for snacks. The little girls enjoyed each other and really got along. We are already looking forward to the next get together.



















As soon as we settled in, Katie came over to visit. A blast from the past. The girls are really growing up.

Our favorite meal.....Pasta and sauce. We also love our sippy cup from Aunt Sarah. It's pink check with her monagramed initials. What a great gift!
