Easter 2008

Here are the pictures from Easter! Paige LOVED hunting for the eggs and said she felt like Cinderella in her Easter dress. Enjoy!

Valentine's Day 2008

The day before Valentine's Day, Paige went to a friend's house to decorate a valentine bag and heart-shaped cookies. On Valentine's Day, we went to a special Valentine's Day themed storytime, and then that night she opened her cards and presents. Unfortunately, she got so excited, she tripped over one of her toys and ran straight into the corner of the armoir, causing her to split her lip. She is so tough, though, and decided she was "all better" soon after. Here are some pictures from the festivities (the last one showing her fat lip :( ).

Snow Day! January 2008

Well, this is the 20th snowiest winter in Milwaukee. . . so far. Paige and I thought we would take advantage of all of the white stuff falling from the sky and go out to play in it. Paige wasn't so sure at first (when we started walking through the deep snow, she kept saying "Oh no!" because she was afraid of getting her boots wet--until I explained that that's what they're for!), but then she got used to it and made snow angels (2nd picture), and even took a bite of snow (3rd picture). Yum! It was only 15 degrees outside, so we really had to bundle up (by the way, 15 degrees isn't bad for us--this last weekend was -11, with wind chill of -35 :) ).

Christmas 2007

I'm finally getting around to posting pictures from Christmas. Ryan, Paige, and I had a wonderful time visiting family in Denver, and then were glad that Ryan's mom could join us in Milwaukee for New Year's. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

First Haircut!

November 2007

Well, we finally did it. Ryan was telling me for months that Paige needed a haircut (especially since when her hair was wet you could see that it went down to the middle of her back!). I, of course, resisted because I knew that as soon as we cut it all of her cute little curls would be gone forever. But, it finally got long enough to where it wasn't that curly anymore anyway (plus it was very uneven--though you could only tell when it was wet because of the curl). So, we took her to Snip Its, a kids haircut place, and here's the proof! Much to my relief, it's still got a little curl in it!

Halloween!

Paige was the cutest little Big Bird for Hallowen this year! Here are the official pictures I took of her at our local zoo. It was a lot of chasing her around and trying to get the Big Bird head to stay on, but we did end up with these cute ones.
