A Day With Andrew: Phone Tag

Jenny, Serge and Andrew came up from Pennsylvania to visit us for a night and a day. While Jenny and Serge went to the DC temple this morning, Andrew and Meghan played. For the most part, there was peace and harmony.

But then...

battle erupted.


Meghan came off victor in the tug of war.

At this point, Mom interfered. Meghan was not happy with the results.

More Bonus Footage: Once again, the Rare Mom was sighted! Unfortunately, the shot was obscured by one of our overzealous photographers. Its bad enough when you accidentally stick your finger in the lens, but this is a bit much.

Why we do not have TV and Just a DVD player

ZOMBIE CHILD! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!

It almost looks like I just photo-shopped the change on the TV but if you look carefully at the last picture, you can see that her head has moved slightly.

Fun Flavors

Nutella and Pretzels. Who can beat that?

Bonus Picture!: A rare sighting of the elusive Mom! Some have suggested that this photographic evidence has been faked like so many Bigfoot and UFO footage, but we are convinced that this is the real deal!

Training for Her Walmart Job as....

A Shelf Stocker! Meghan stocks shelves so well.

Here she is fetching cans from the stock room (also known as the cabinet where Mom used to keep her cans).

A short trip around the cabinet door...

And here she is pushing them carefully into place so that they all line up nicely along the back.

A Job Well Done.
(On a side note, we've had to put the big can of Kidney Beans up because she kept dropping it on her toe. Every time she sees it on the counter, she asks for it so that she can put it away properly)

In Her Mommy's Shoes

Meghan loves shoes - especially Mom's shoes. Dad's are too heavy, her own are too hard to get on, but Mom's are Just Right.

Just Being Cute

Awesome Cake

For Valentines Day, I made Black Tie Mousse Cake. It is a very delicious cake that you can get at Olive Garden. I was introduced to it on my second date with my husband who was not my husband at the time and it was so utterly delicious that I lost all my fear of Olive Garden. (For those of you not in the know, I am a restaurant-phobe, going through therapy as mandated by my husband).
Anyways, in memory of the romance I made this cake. Since Black Tie Mousse Cake is a mouthful, we've just started calling it Awesome Cake because it is Awesome. One piece is enough to feed both of us because its so rich. A little on the expensive side to make (cream is not cheap) but way worth it in my opinion.

Hairdresser Meghan

Here is Meghan brushing mom's hair. She is very helpful.

Hats of Meghan

The cute thing about these hats (besides the fact that Meghan is just cute in hats) is that she puts them on herself.

You Think She Misses Her Daddy?

Meghan likes dressing up. She wears her daddy's ties too. Here she is modeling one of daddy's shirts while he is away at work.

Cold Maryland

Yes, Maryland has been rather cold recently. Its kind of a bummer because its been cold but still no snow. I will admit that having a fireplace in the house is rather nice at times though.

Meghan Munchies

Meghan has figured out how to open zippers. So she fished this little treasure out of the diaper bag. I didn't think much of the crinkling until I inspected the source.

Meghan's taken a bite out of SANTA!!!!

Thirsty Meghan

Here is Meghan enjoying some cranberry juice from a cup. Yes, cranberry juice. She has very adult tastes. She likes cranberry juice, grapefruit and dark dark chocolate.
