<\/a>Eve in\n her party clothes. Babydoll came to the party
\n too.<\/span><\/div>\n
The party
\n was fun. The kids always like to visit Parrish and there were
\n two other kids there, an 8yr old boy and a 3yr old girl. Eve
\n adored the 8yr old. He was super silly and played with her and
\n taught her how to slide down the stairs head first. Important
\n things for a 21 month old (yup, 21 months today!) to know. The
\n stair case was only 6 stairs high and well carpeted and she had
\n a blast. We are going to have to teach her very quickly that we
\n DON’T slide down the 13 hardwood stairs at our house! Lex
\n played with all of Parrish’s new toys and ran around with the
\n other boys and found a puzzle map of the US and thought that
\n was pretty cool. Alan and I ate and socialized. All in all I
\n think a good time was had by all :)<\/p>\n
<\/a>This toy\n that Lex is playing with is the coolest toy! It’s a bunch of
\n plastic beveled square shaped pieces that you can stack and
\n configure to make a ton of different things. The paper that Lex
\n is looking at shows lots of ideas. All of the kids (ages 21mo –
\n 8.5yrs) and several of the grown ups had a good time playing
\n with it.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/a>Choo-choo! Looks like everyone had a very Thomas\n Christmas.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/a>Here she\n comes, head first down the stairs. Such a brave (and silly)
\n girl!
(In case you’re worried, I was right there
\n with her every time and she listened well when I asked her to
\n stop if I wasn’t able to stand guard.)<\/span><\/div>\n
Now, as we head in to the new year
\n I feel as though I should have something deep and meaningful to
\n say, but alas, I do not. Tomorrow will be another day and we’ll
\n get through it, just like the next one and just like the last
\n one. Perhaps I’ll take some time for deep reflection next
\n month. Or not. For now I’m going to remove some redeye (my
\n camera’s redeye reduction feature is lame) and then add a few
\n pics here and then pry Alan away from the computer so we can
\n watch some TV. Love to all. See ya in 2009!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Happy New Year to all! We went to a NYE party next-door and made it all the way until 9:00pm!! Wild and crazy party folks we are :) Now Alan is working and I’m blogging and we might actually make … Continue reading
