It was a great Sunday!!!


Julie and Mrs. Jill visit!

Mrs. Jill and Julie came to visit us! Sara and I were brave and got to the airport to pick them up without any problems. When we got back home, we relaxed and the girls played with their dolls. Sara liked Julie's more (don't ask me why... they're exactly the same!) but Julie didn't mind sharing :)

Later on, we got some lunch and hit the playground

They checked out the crib! I think it can handle a newborn if it can handle these two monkeys :)

They checked out the bed too:

On Friday, we went to the mall where the girls saw Santa!! We couldn't take pictures since we didn't buy any... but Sara warmed up to him and even told him she wanted a "baby doll, please" Here they are at playing at the mall:

Election Night 2008

At 9:30 pm!!

M&M's

Here is Daddy trying to teach Sara her colors with M&M's. So far everything is red and if that's not right, then it is blue. Sara got a little frustrated so she just ate them out of his hand instead of waiting for him to give them to her!

Doesn't this look like fun:


Halloween!!!

Our Halloween in Massachusetts was lots of fun. On the night before, we tried to carve our pumpkin, but it was a little too rough!! We just set it outside so that everyone could admire its perfectness!

On Halloween, we started our day by checking out a new music time! Sara loved it!

Before and after this video, she was a dancing machine...

Daddy and Sara read a book to pass the time before trick-or-treating

Since Sara was a puppy dog, I drew her a puppy dog nose

Playgroup

Sorry for the delay... we're having technical difficulties!

Here are some pictures from playgroup the last few weeks... all Sara wants to do is "bathe" the babies!! Its a great time to play with other toddlers and meet some fun people. At the end of the playgroup, we have a music circle and Sara LOVES it!! She sings the songs all day after we leave :)
