Adrie (walking down the hallway of our hotel): "Mommy, do you know what I'm good at?"

Mommy: "What are you good at?"

Adrie: "Sticking my finger in my nose and getting all the boogers out."

My Chocolate Cosmo

This is the chocolate cosmo that I've been waiting for all summer.

Andrew now has 4 teeth! His two top front teeth have peeked through his gums over the past week or so.

Adrie: "Mommy, I know how to say 'bean' in Spanish."
Me: "Really?"
Adrie: "Yeah, its 'beanie weanie'."

Adrie's Birthday Party

Three candles took her an awfully long time to blow out!


















She wanted to be surprised by every present.

New Hair

Thanks to Great-Grandma Maryott . . . a fresh new haircut!

It was bound to happen . . .

Yes, it is what you think it is. I had just hung up my phone, when I turned around to see large chunks of hair on the floor around Adrie's feet. She had lopped off the bottom of her ponytail. I brushed out her hair to see if it was from the top or underneath, unfortunately its right from the top. Adrie may have a new haircut the next time you see her.
