Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Thank you Mamo for the green shamrock bow! Unfortunately, we are in a "No ponytails!!" stage, so in order to get her to agree to the ponytail, I had to first put one in my hair. And, even then, the ponytail only lasted through breakfast.

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the shamrock dress! It was a hit at school today! I'm not sure it'll ever be white again, but it was fun to wear!

Here is Delanie showing the camera a picture of a girl going potty, it was the only way I could get her to smile for the camera!

New England Visit Part 2

Thank you Granny and Grampie for the new swimsuit and coverup! Can't wait to swim in the pool this summer!

And, classic Delanie style, the baby doll stayed on Delanie's lap as she opened the rest of her presents! Thank you everyone for the clothes, toys and college contributions! We appreciate it so much, so thoughtful of everyone!

Justine and DJ were so thoughtful to plan this whole party - down to the perfect cake! What a difference a year makes! On her first birthday, she was very nervous about her cake, and wouldn't touch it. For her second birthday, she had a hard time leaving the cake alone until the end of the song! She blew out the candle twice, and got her fingers in the icing a few times!

Yummy!!

New England Visit, Part 1

While we were up in New England, we had a little birthday bash for Delanie, who turns 2 in March. She had a lot of fun hamming it up with family she hasn't seen in a while!




Mimi got Delanie an Etch-A-Sketch, which she had been playing with a lot!

Chillin' with Auntie Justine!

Smile for the camera!

One of the first gifts in the pile was a new baby doll, aka Kona II. Babies are always a favorite! Thank you Debbie, Don and Jared!

Playdate with Caleb!

Rainy Day + Video Camera = Cute Clips!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!




This might be the most concrete proof that Delanie is a huge fan of Sesame Street:





Delanie is also a big fan of Rachel and "Signing Times" a cancelled PBS show that teachs sign language. Every time we sing this song, we get to the end, and she wants to list the people that know the colors of the rainbow! If your name wasn't mentioned, please know we cut it off, it went one for about 5 more minutes, so chances are, Delanie gave you a shout out!

Getting Crafty...

Here are a few pictures of the artwork I made for Delanie's wall. It was a really easy craft, I just took forever to complete it. Basically, it consists of cork trivets and scrapbook paper, fashioned into flower bulletin boards! We are already accumulating a lot of Delanie's artwork, so these bulletin boards will come in handy soon!

23 Months Old!

Delanie hates wearing pants, so she is starting to discover her love for dresses! We had spring fever this week, as temperatures inched up near 70 degrees.

It is very difficult to catch this girl smiling on camera! This picture is of her jumping on Mommy and Daddy's bed, right after she fell.

Another shot of Delanie

On Sunday, the weather turned to a cold rain (and later snow). So, we spent the day in pajamas. At some point, we tried to get Delanie dressed. She ended up with her pink pajama shirt underneath, her favorite yellow shirt on top, orange tights and black dress shoes. At least she agreed to cover her legs!
