Snow Day


Ugh- we a got about a foot of snow on Wednesday and needless to say school was cancelled and just about everything else was closed. Rachel and I stayed home and "played school". She enjoyed it and wanted to do it again. Mommy was glad school was in session today. Here is Rachel "sewing" with yarn on a mesh produce bag.

Chinese New Year

We celebrated Chinese New Year by going out to eat at the Chinese Buffet and we had cake on Sunday to celebrate Rachel's Gotcha Day anniversary.

Gotcha Day!



Today January 25 is the 2 year anniversary of bringing our daughter home for the first time. It was cold, just like today. Here are some before (age 17 months) and after pictures (age 3 1/2).

Artwork

In the fall, I was getting overwhelmed with preschool artwork- because I hate to throw anything away! So I made this great Snapfish photobook with all of Rachel's fall artwork from school. I just took a digital picture of each of her little masterpieces.

Cute things my kiddo says...

Cute things Rachel says- like she uses the wrong word for something but it's cute.

Raindrop- instead of gumdrop.

Ribbons- instead of ribs.

"Stick bone" for skeleton.

"Dee-doe" for video.

Happy New Year!


As much as the presents and the toys were fun, I think Rachel enjoyed visiting everyone most of all. Here she is on a play date with her friend Alex at Pump It Up.
