She's a sucker...

I picked up Maya from school today and since it was cold they didn't get to go outside to play on the playground. As we leave, we pass by the playground and Maya tells me she wants to go play. Well, it's cold, I'm carrying Armani along with a stack full of craft papers, Armani's backpack, and his lunch bag so I tell her NO and to hurry up. Maya then begins to cry. I have very little patience with her at this point since I'm about to drop everything I'm carrying and I tell her that I'm going to the car and that she'd better follow me. As I walk away, she sits down on the ground and begins to cry louder. I figure let me get Armani in the car, out of the cold, and then I will come back and deal with her. To my surprise, however, one of Maya's classmates (Ben) and his mother come out of the school and when Ben see's that Maya is crying and sitting on the ground he goes over to her, picks up her lunch box, and offers her his hand. Maya takes his hand, stands up and Ben walks her all the way to our car while holding her hand and carrying her lunch box. This was definitely a Kodak moment. Of course Maya completely stopped crying. She's such a sucker for sweet little boys. I wonder were she got that from?

In memory of Lex

Lex and her three sisters were the first babies to be born in our house, they were actually born in our linen closet 5 1/2 years ago. We have such fond memories of them. Alex, who was about 13 years old at the time, watched their birth in amazement. When they were less than two weeks old, I can remember watching them in awe as they all tried desperately to climb up and down our stairs. Unfortunately, we recently had to say goodbye Lex. Lex was a beautiful cat, very loved and will be missed!

Thanksgiving playdate

Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving playdate.































We made turkey cupcakes!
















Armani is loving the camera in this picture. This is a very rare occurrence. He never, let me repeat NEVER, lets us take his picture. Maybe a new phase is on the horizon. Gosh, I hope so.
















For Thanksgiving day at mama and papa's house, Maya and I made this turkey out of fruit. We had a lot of fun doing it and it held up pretty good except for the one feather (pepper) that wilted.
