Strawberry Fields...

For playgroup today, we took the munchkins to pick some strawberries at a local orchard. They were adorable wandering around the strawberry patch and surprisingly focused on filling up the bucket ( = Of course, Julia ate her fair share of strawberries in the field...

Kaitlyn and Eliza - Soccer Phenoms ( =

David, Julia and I were able to make it to Kaitlyn and Eliza's soccer games on Saturday and we all had a good time watching them (Julia had a good time practicing her walking and cheering on her cousins).

At almost seventeen and a half months, Julia is finally taking her first steps!! We love watching her get more and more confident and we can tell she's proud of her new skill ( =

The Playgroup Trio...

Every Wednesday, Julia gets together with her friends Victor and Kaitlyn (and Amy, Dora and I get to talk to grown-ups during the day...win/win). Here are a couple of pics of them together...

Julia at Dollywood!

Since it was my birthday today, I decided to do something fun during the day with Julia...so we headed to Dollywood (we'd been meaning to get our season pass anyway). It was a great day and Julia was a champ on all of the kiddie rides (= I wasn't sure how she'd do, but she actually threw a fit when I had to take her off the horse on the carousel and she rode the kiddie land rides over...and over...and over. I was dizzy just watching her (= You can see that by the time I wanted to get her picture by the water mill that she'd had it, and we didn't even make it to the park exit before she fell sound asleep...
