To Daddy with Love

Happy Father's Day to my incredible husband and Fiona's rockstar Daddy. I had to share this picture that I took of the two of them playing this weekend. No posing - just enjoying each other.

Happy Father's Day from Mike and me to our wonderful fathers. And from Fiona to her three grandpas. LOTS of love to the men in our lives from this house.

Bathtime Bubbles

Last night, Fiona discovered bubbles in the bathtub. She had started gingerly putting her chin in the water a couple weeks ago, but her courage surged last night and she dunked her whole face into the water. She came up sputtering, sporting a classy goatee of bubbles. I started laughing, so she decided she didn't mind the sputtering so much. Down she went again and came up with the full beard, mustache, and some side burns (channeling her inner Joe Mauer?). We played this game until the bath water got cold!

The pictures don't show the facial bubbles very well, but they are still cute. And her conveniently round tummy helps maintain her modesty!

Play Time - Fiona Style

Fiona started a new day care this week as A is on maternity leave. She goes a couple days a week and is hanging out with relatives the other days. Grandma J was here this week and we all had a great time with her.

Our little daredevil has had a fun week of day care with new kids, swinging in the back yard, playing with Yogi, and riding her new dinosaur.

Drumming on her dinosaur

Thank you Grandma for the cool ride!

All this playing is HARD work!

Grown Up Decisions

Being a grown up is awesome! You can stay up as late as you want (10:30 last night - party on, Wayne!), you can watch whatever you want on TV (Phineas and Ferb on Disney this morning), and you have your very own bank account with your own money ....

BUT you have to use that money to fund smart "grown up" decisions. So that is why a nice chunk of our savings account has recently been applied to a new roof. We've needed the roof since we moved in almost 5 years ago and the great ice dam adventure of Winter '11 was the final straw. But it looks really nice and we are no longer embarrassed by the curling shingles.

And here are a couple pictures of my garden. Starting to bloom and look awesome. Ignore the crappy, peeling windows. Those are next on the list of grown up decisions!
