A Walk in the Park

Yesterday, we took a walk in the park. Amelia brought along her new spider friend she picked out at Kohl's. Miller wnet inside the doggie park. He's such a wimp. He'd run up to play and then jump and whimper afraid of them. Hazel is afraid of big dogs, so she stayed with daddy.

In Honor of Yaiya...

Amelia wore this pretty new blue dress.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YAIYA!!!!

Today is my Yaiya's (grandma in Greek) birthday! My favorite times with my Yaiya is basking in the sun on the porch or when she's singing to me. She has a beautiful voice and smile. I love it when she thinks I'm a doll. Hope you have a fun day Yaiya! Can't wait to see you next month. Love you lots...your Amelia.

HB Street Fair a must do for everyone!

OK, so if you know me, you know how much I LOVE going to San Clemente for their street fair. I used to go every Sunday just to get a bundle of sunflowers and some veggies. Tonight Mom suggested we head downtown to the "farmers market." It's like the heaven doors opened and the angels sang a sweet song, as we walked our way through veggie stands, fruit stands, flowers and so much more! I called Straty to come check it out and Grandpa met us there as well. What fun it was to have Amelia touch the veggies and taste yummy fruit like a plum/nectar combo. I got some green beans, carrots, asparagus and plum/nectar for the little one. Lots of cooking tomorrow. Great idea Mom!!!! We're also getting ready for escrow to close on our RSM house. The countdown until we say our final good-bye. A sad but sweet good-bye.

This past weekend...

We had a visit from Auntie Krista. She spent the night Friday night and Saturday morning we walked to Alice's in the Park for breakfast. We had yummy pumpkin muffins and then took a walk around the park. Amelia LOVES going to the park. Seeing the ducks, geese, lake and touching whatever she can get her little hands on. Sunday we walked to Bench Park Cafe for lunch with Auntie Sarah, Grandma and Grandpa and the hounds. Amelia wasn't too sure how Auntie Sarah's nose got like that, but was sure going to figure it out. She's such the Curious George.

Amelia is getting ready for Halloween...

Last night after bath time, Amelia caught a second wind. She's normally exhausted from her bath and ready for a warm bottle and bed, but not last night! We put on her new pj's grandma bought her and practiced her Halloween faces. Her scary face and Frankinstien face were my two favorites. This morning I placed her Cheerios out for her to play with. She usually drops them on the floor for the hounds, but not today!!! I turned around to see why she was so quiet, and she was stuffing her face with Cheerios. Yeah...she's learning to feed herself.

Hav'n fun

Today we went to the RSM house to pick up some items and give the dogs baths. While I was spraying down the patio, Amelia reached out to "touch" the water. Minutes later, she was soaked and laughing. She was so sad when the water turned off. She had so much fun. Tonight we headed to church for a special event. She sat on Auntie Krista's lap, tugging at her lip gloss lips, hair and teeth. She enjoyed tugging on the ladies hair in front of her as well as Police Officer Bobby's uniform. Ame loves going to church. Daddy made it to Phili. He's visiting tonight with his mom and dad. Tomorrow he's in the golf tournament. Good Luck Daddy!!!!

Yesterday at the Park

We had fun walking around the lake. Amelia was in ah of the lake and ducks. She had fun playing in the grass and with the leaves. It was a beautiful day!

Amelia, Miss Independant

This morning Amelia decided she wanted to try feeding herself. I'm not certain if smearing oatmeal all over your arms and hands is feeding yourself, but she tried. She also started this new thing crossing her fingers. It's so cute. Amelia loves cherrios, yellow part of the egg and blueberry and bananas with oatmeal. For lunch she loves cottage cheese or apple yogurt with avocado and the yummy chicken daddy made. Oh and she loves salmon! I'm so happy she enjoys her finger foods. She's not feeding herself, but loves to accidently drop her food and watch the hounds clean up.

BIG DADDY CAT IS AWAY!!!! Let the mice play:<)

I'm feeling a little Under The Tuscan Sun com'n on! A bottle of wine, a gallon of paint...hummmmmm I do have an orange gallon of paint I could paint our pink bathroom:) Hummm...Amelia hasn't been broken in to what happens when daddy is gone golf'n. Watch out baby girl, it's time to roll up your sleeves. OK, we'll start off with a walk in the park for now.
