J-O-L-I-E


Jolie was "drawing" in her Daddy's notebook this morning & suddenly yelled, "Mommy, it's a "J" I draw name." I went to check it out & sure enough she had written a "J" so I dictated the rest of her name to her & these were the letters she drew. I forgot to take a picture of the "O" - sorry.

Tech Friends

We got to hang out with some of our friends from college on Saturday night. We had a good time watching our kiddos play. Josie & Caleb (siblings) are two of Jolie's favorite people (they are the kids to the right in the top picture.) Jolie would be happy if she could "play with friends" everyday. I wonder where she learned to be so social?

Snow hands & Mommy's shoes


Jolie put on her "snow hands" & a pair of my shoes yesterday & she was ready for a photo shoot. "More pictures, Mommy!" She likes to wear her mittens & get two of her golf clubs & pretend to ski through the hall. We love watching her imagination at work!

Our big girl

Jolie has officially made the move to her "big girl bed." We had a few tough nights during the transition, but she has learned to put herself to sleep again - thank goodness! She enjoys our bedtime routine which includes: reading 3 books, reading a Bible story & saying our prayers. Her typical prayer is, "Dear God, thank you for this great day. Thank you for all my friends. Amen." Very sweet! She now refers to the crib as "baby sister's bed."

My Little Helper


Jolie decided to help me mop today. She was very impressed with all the suds in the mop water & thought they all belonged on the floor. Thankfully, her assistance was easy to mop up :)

Fun Day

I took this picture this afternoon after Jolie was finishing up her lunch. Her smile is so natural in this shot. We spent the morning "playing with friends" at the Children's Museum in town. She had a great time. Her favorite part was rowing in a "boat" & watching herself on the screen in front of her. Here she is in action...
I'm sorry that you can't hear her singing "Row, Row, Row your boat."

More beach pics

Todd's creation
Jolie's first putt putt adventure...
it was very hot so we ended up inside playing games while the others putt putted.
My favorite picture!
Riding "the circus" at the outlet mall. As you can see, she really enjoyed it!
