At Grandma Stchur’s request, the video of Anna singing a mash-up of the Hello Song and the Rainbow Song:

For the past few months we’ve been heading to the playground every sunny day we get. It’s Anna’s favorite place to be and while the swings are her favorite, the slide is a close second. At some point, I started saying “1,2,3, GO” while she was at the top of the slide. She thought it [...]

To celebrate, Anna figured out how to somersault!

I have some serious catching up to do, but every time I sit down to write a post, I can’t seem to find the energy to sum up all the crazy things Anna is up to lately. We’ll be home in two weeks anyway, so just sit tight and you can see her in action [...]

Anna and I went to the zoo a few days ago. It’s about a three minute drive from our house, which is awesome.

Okay, I figured while I was on a blogging roll, I would go ahead and post a video. This wasn’t the original video I was going to post, but then we took this one and it was just too ridiculously cute to not override the other one (which was of her eating a raw red [...]

Well yes, it’s been awhile. We’ve been very busy around here lately. I can’t even tell you what we’ve been doing though. A few playdates here, a few new bruises there. Seriously, we haven’t been doing a whole lot more than normal, but this toddler thing: it’s a whole new level of crazy. Just being [...]

Well, I’m feeling a little misty on this last day of Anna’s baby-hood. Tomorrow she will officially be a toddler and her first year will be packed neatly away in the baby book. This parenting thing … a little bitter sweet most of the time. Luckily, she keeps us busy enough that the dwelling can’t [...]
