Springtime Fun Time

First let me start by saying that I dropped the camera (again) and now I can't get it to properly turn on. Oops! So we might have a slight hiatus from photos for a while... I did take some Easter videos though, so as soon as I can find the cables to download those off the video camera, we might be cooking with gas! Sigh.

Shae had a Saturday morning play date with her daycare BFF, Quinlin. The girls enjoyed playing together at the park, feeding the ducks, then sitting down together for a refreshing snack. Have you ever tried to get two two-year-olds to look at the camera at the same time? It's not as easy as you might think!

As long as the sun is shining, Shae is outside playing. She's all about bubbles right now. All. About. Bubbles.

Taking a break from the bubbles for a moment to do some dancing. As she often tells me: shake it! Shake your bootie!

Back to the bubbles.

We took a family walk to our neighborhood park. Shae has become a maniac on the park, and nothing is too tall, too steep or to scary for her to try at least once. What a big girl!

It really was an all-family outing -- Zoey got to go play at the park, too!

You'll have to keep an eye on Facebook for photos for a little bit -- at least there I can upload the low-quality ones from my phone.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Update, and a turkey

Knee update: so it turns out I have a complete ACL tear and a partial MCL tear. Doh! Gonna have to keep on keeping on in the short-term, as repair isn't an option until the blood clot is done and gone -- and the current coumadin treatment will run until at least July, if all goes well. Soooo... that's all of that.


On to The Shae!


I really do not move fast enough for her these days -- she's always a step ahead of me (which isn't hard to do right now considering my malfunctioning left leg) and telling me "c'mon, mama!"

On a rainy Sunday, we invited Gram and Baba to go bowling with us.

Great fun was had by all.

Dancing helps the ball roll straight. Not sure if you knew that.

Despite having leftover mac 'n cheese on her face, I can't help but love these photos -- I think she looks like such a little girl here.

Shae thinks that making silly faces is h.i.l.a.r.i.o.u.s. It's her favorite mealtime activity right now! (Sorry for the creepy red eye -- I uploaded the photos and then corrected them on my home computer... but uploading takes so darn long I decided against re-uploading.)
