Bead Master

Kelly, beader extraordinaire.  It keeps her happy for a while too... we just have to keep Alyssa away from all those choking hazards.

Alyssa's First Popsicle

Daddy arrived at school today to find Alyssa enjoying a popsicle like a big girl in her new classroom.

Last of August

Marine Corps Museum Playground

This may just be my favorite playground.  Shady, lots of great equipment, and close.  It was a nice place to visit with my Uncle Teddy and Aunt Paula while they were visiting this weekend.

Around the House

Kelly and Grampa

Alyssa and her bib that she puts on herself while she's playing... she also play eats with Kelly's kitchen utensils, but the bib generally goes on at different times.

Alyssa wearing the apron that she was trying to put on herself with limited success.  Daddy finally helped her.

Belated Blogging

We've been very busy around here lately, without many pictures or blog posts. Here are a bunch of photos from earlier this month...

Scrunchy Face

Alyssa has started expounding on her smile with a scrunched up face. Daddy caught it on camera a couple times the other day... It cracks me up when she does it. Kinda ridiculous!

Alyssa and the Doll

Alyssa seems to enjoy playing with one of Kelly's dolls. Here she is showing off her mommy skills...

...helping the baby play the piano...

...and just being cute.

Party at the Park

Our neighbor April threw a party to celebrate her birthday.  We enjoyed some delicious food and a beautiful day at the park.

Bloom Car

I love these shopping cart cars. :) The one at Bloom is more parent friendly because it isn't 10 feet long.
