Sept. 15th is my birthday!


I'm 1 today. Finally I can see where I'm going! Yeah, I'm in the big girl seat. My official stats have me weighing in at 24.6 lbs and at 29 1/2 inches. I've been walking since my tenth month and only say 'Mama'. Although I do know who everyone else is in the family. And I know to go to the door when mommy says 'Bye Bye'.


More cake. Can there ever be too much cake?

Hiking at McIntire Park


Alisz had it easiest. What a view!
We've decided to take advantage of all the parks and trails in our area by going hiking every week or so. Last year Kasia was enrolled in two sessions of hiking classes and loves walking in the woods. Both big girls go through our yard with Jason, but told me they like having a path more.

Daddy's Birthday


Daddy had a special night the day before his birthday. This year he shared his special day with Alisz for her 1st birthday party. Julianna wanted to get him a jalapeno cake and Kasia wanted to get a hockey cake. We settled on a super deluxe chocolate ice cream cake.

Harris Teeter Sugar Cookie



Alisz ate her first cookie while I did some grocery shopping. You can't really tell from the photos, but there was a mess all over her and the cart.

PreSchool for Kasia

I'm ready to go. Come on, let's go in.


Don't worry Alisz, I'll see you in a couple of hours.

The playhouse is one of her favorite things to play with in her classroom.

Mrs. Peery - Kasia's teacher. Kasia calls her Miss Teacher. I have corrected her many times. Maybe by the end of the school year, she'll have it down.

Alisz's First Painting Day




Oh, what fun we had! I couldn't believe this was the first time I had Alisz in the paints. Julianna reminded me that I usually make them wait until Alisz takes a nap before I let them do any paint projects.


Sister Time


Magic Dry Ice


Can you guess how long this kept them entertained?


Living Military Exibit



The Elks Club, down the road from us, hosted a Living Military Exibit. Since this is a subject very close to daddy's heart, we went to see all the 'cool' stuff.
