A snap from our recent visit to KY.

This was shot at the Louisville Zoo, in the gorilla complex.

Cute picture, but the smell in there was FOUL.

Thanksgiving in KY

November 26, 2007

We just returned from KY and had a very nice visit. We went in for Thanksgiving and we able to stay a couple extra days so we were also able to visit the Louisville Zoo (which was great! They have a baby elephant).

It is so hard to take a picture with a 2 year old!

Of course, the one picture Melina is looking at the camera, no one else was ready

Happy Birthday!

November 26, 2007

As I type this Melina is on my lap saying "I want to have a party again mommy!" We celebrated my birthday yesterday with my parents and Melina made the cupcakes. We all decorated our own and of course she would like to have a party everyday!

All Bundled Up

November 26, 2007

Melina did not find it humorous this AM when I insisted on taking her picture in her "all bundled up" outfit. Bill took her in the stroller this morning when he went jogging and it was cold at 6am so I told her to make sure she was bundled up. I thought it was cute.

So, for better or worse, it seems Melina has no fear. And, she loves snow.

We may have a worldclass winter Olympian on our hands.

Here she is on the luge at the Manor School fair on Saturday. Our little snow monkey.

Our Saturday Night

November 18, 2007

Our Saturday began like any other ordinary Saturday morning. I took Mel to the gym with me and then she had soccer practice. After practice we went to the winter faire at the local school here and she had a blast checking out the fire engine, sledding and seeing all her little friends. We came home, she napped and Bill and I got ready to go out. We actually had plans and were very excited to be going to a party to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We got all dressed, packed up Mel to take her to my parent’s house for the night and set off. About 5 miles down the road Mel started to fuss and Bill offered her a snack to which she said “no daddy, I blahhhhh.” Vomit everywhere. Projectile vomit all over the car, Melina, her towelie, Bill’s hair I think too. Wish I had a camera to take a picture of Bill's face (you know how much he loves that car). We immediately pulled over and checked things out. It was obvious we weren’t going to be going anywhere. Back home, vomit, vomit and more vomit. Poor kid. So much for making plans and so much for my new silk shirt. Oh well, such is life. Right now everything is on hold. Looks like we are home bound for a while. Ah, life with children.

Revised Christmas List

November 17, 2007

Dear Santa,

I saw you in the store yesterday and since you were so busy I thought I better send you a letter too with my requests. As my mommy pointed out, I do not need an x-box 360 or a Halo 3 game. I don't even know what those things are and I am sure they are not toddler appropriate. Like you said Santa, it was not nice of my daddy to use my letter for his requests, not nice at all. So, for your convenience I have modified my Christmas list for make things easier for you:

1. A rain jacket size 3T or 4T (I am tall)
2. Red crocs (size 7-8)
3. Renewal of my annual SF Zoo Pass
4. I need some PJs, size 4t
5. Music cds suitable for a tiny tulip
6. Books
7. Clothes, well, more like outfits. Size 3 - 4t
8. Toddler-sized Dora backpack
9. Renewal of my Discovery Museum Pass
10.One of those cool bikes without pedals (I think they are real expensive though)

My mommy and daddy said I have too many toys and since they are thinking about moving I better not ask for any toys this year. That's ok because I really do have plenty.

Thanks Santa and Merry Christmas!
Melina J.

Hi Everybody.

I had a very nice day today. I woke up and I had some cereal with my papa. Then my mom took me to baby buffalos. Then my poppa picked me up and I was so dirty from playing outside. My papa calls baby buffalos, baby mudholes.

Anyway, my papa is blogging my first draft Christmas list for the 2007 Christmas season. "Blogging". That is a funny word. So is "Poo Poo".

2. Also, I need some red crocs (size 7-8)
3. I need an xbox 360 with guitar hero 3
4. I need some PJs, size 4t
5. Music cds suitable for a tiny tulip
6. Books
7. Clothes, well, more like outfits. Size 3 - 4t
8. Toddler-sized Dora backpack
9. Halo 3 for Xbox 360

Thanks Santa, and everyone else that reads this blog.

Teddy Bear's Fort

November 05, 2007

Melina is really into building things. She spent the weekend with my mom and we swear everytime she does she comes home smarter! Tonight she worked for quite some time building the perfect fort for her teddy bear. She described every step to us as she did it and talked to teddy bear asking him for his imput along the way. Bill and I sat there a bit speechless.
