Beach Day

By
It has been a long time since we updated our blog yet again!  So, for the sake of Leah's biggest fans, here are some pictures from our recent day trip to the beach.  We went to meet a few of my girlfriends from college and it was so fun to see them.  And, to make the day even better the temperature of Lake Michigan was perfect!  It didn't feel like you were swimming in a recently-melted glacier, yet it was still refreshing.  Ahhh.  

Leah had a blast.  She LOVES the water, or as she calls it, "wahbie."  She also enjoyed the sand.  What is it with toddlers and sand?  She buried her own knees and toes, she used it as a condiment in which to dip her peanut butter sandwich, she did somersaults in the sand, she kicked it up in the air, she investigated shady patches of sand to try to figure out why they were so much cooler that the hot sunny sand... Needless to say, we are still cleaning the sand off of her nearly a week later...

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

By
I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

By
We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
