Toy Story




Sky enjoyed spreading her Fisher Price Toys out in the living room. However, they have been relocated to her room now. I must say the Fisher Price dollhouse has come a long way in the 30+ years since I had one. The "dad" carries a cell phone, there is a computer in the house and and even a toilet that makes a flushing sound (a big thrill for the toddler set)! Actually lots of things make sounds. Of course big brother's toys are still best, if one can get one's hands on them! Photo at Right - Sky tries to play StarWars Attackix with Parker!

Drawing Time



Parker only drew on the walls once.(I learned wd-40 takes crayon off walls) I have a feeling I will need to be much more cautious with Sky as she loves to draw and will ferret out the stray pen or crayon and paper is not always her medium of choice. Here she is coloring with Parker.

Beach Beauty




The light was marvelous in the early evening on the island this weekend. We don't seem to be able to stay up quite late enough for sunset. Also it can be hard to photograph a moving target.

BIRTHDAY GIRL!! (SKY IS 2)

Sky really enjoyed opening her gifts. What is really fun at this age is she has no anticipation of receiving presents so it is total wonder and amazement at these new toys that have found their way to our home! Of course our once quiet home is now breaking decibel limits since many of the gifts make sounds. Parker is trying to convince me to hide some of the gifts. We celebrated with a quiet party for just family. Sky enjoyed a chocolate Elmo cake made by Parker & Clif. I had suggested white frosting - but was overruled. Our primary decorations were an Elmo balloon and Elmo plates and napkins. (Parties are so low key at this age!)
2 Year old Stats: 35 inches & 25 lbs putting her at the 25% for weight and 50% for height.
