30 days go so quickly, Part 2

And in the last 30 days....or so, we had a presidential election - YAY! And Katherine and I watched all the festivities for hours that day.



And there were dinners with Amy and Nikki - which always involves lots of playing...Nikki's such a good sport.



And there were two birthday parties...the first was at a place where they have a room full of bounce houses - Katherine had absolutely no fear about these things -much to my dismay.



The other party was at the Aquarium - didn't get any good pictures, though.

Finally, we had a day in South Orange County - first, a much needed haircut for Katherine - good-bye lopsided hair, hello cute, short hair cut.

Before pictures....





After pictures...





After the haircut we went down to Dana Point for a walk along the beach - beautiful. Katherine didn't want to leave - I can't blame her.

30 days go so quickly, Part 1

Well, I knew this would happen - I just can't seem to blog any more regularly than once a month. So, here's the monthly wrap-up.

We had a great time seeing my college friend, Judy and her beautiful family.



And, we went to my high school cross-country reunion. Katherine had a great time meeting a new friend. She and her new friend decided to celebrate their meeting by jumping into the bathtub together.



Katherine made lots of cookies in her kitchen and served them up to us!



And there was chocolate pudding...



And two trips to Disneyland - I caved in and bought the cheapest pass. Her favorite ride is Dumbo, and her least favorite ride is "anything with pirates" - Pirates of the Carribean has now scarred her for life. Who knew! One day we went with some friends...







And, of course there was ice cream involved.



The other day that we went it was rainy - so, it kept away the lines, but we did get a bit soaked. The highlight of the day was meeting Mickey Mouse - or as Katherine calls him, Mickey Mouse-y - and we only had to wait 5 minutes. Unbelievable! Katherine went right up to him and gave him a big hug. It was precious.
