All done!

I finished my dinner, guys!

Just because...

This was taken last week. It's one of my favorites of her.

4 things about Malena...

This is from my friend Shannon's blog, and I thought I'd participate! Four jobs I have had in my life: 1. Haagen Dazs ice cream shop. (dangerous....but yummy!) 2. Blockbuster video. 3. selling Kirby vacuum cleaners door to door. (so sad) 4. Fajita Factory restaurant. 5. (bonus) the film library at University Hospital in Albuquerque. Four places I have been on vacation: 1. Scotland (a couple of times, once with Lynda and the second time for my and Kevin's wedding and honeymoon---it's our favorite place!) 2. Lido Key, Florida (with Lynda and Cheryl to celebrate our doctorates!) 3. Amboise, France (with Lynda) 4. Venice, Italy (with Lynda...same trip...so great!) Four of my favorite foods: 1. homemade bread (thanks, Shannon!) 2. red chili and potatoes/eggs with homemade tortillas. 3. mandarin oranges. 4. ice cream. 5. (bonus) paprika chicken and platke (Dennette makes this traditional Slovak yumminess!) Four places I would rather be now: 1. somewhere in the northeast where the leaves are changing and it feels like fall. 2. in Scotland (near Stirling/Callenadar) with Kevin and Anna. 3. watching sunset on the sea cliffs on the Isle of Skye. 4. hiking the foothills during sunset in Albuquerque. 5. (bonus) Victoria, British Columbia.

Anna's and Daddy's Adventure

Last weekend, I played with the Rapides Symphony in Alexandria. So, Kevin and Anna spent part of the day walking along the Red River. Kevin got some great pictures of Anna enjoying the day. Anna is beginning to climb up onto us if we're sitting on the floor with her. She loves to stand up (but still needs help)! Here's a picture of her pretending she doesn't need anyone's help to stand up. :) This weekend I'll be cleaning out her clothes again--she has outgrown almost all of her 3-6 month clothes. We've gotten some very cute outfits in the mail--so we're excited to be able to start wearing those! (Especially since it's actually starting to get a little cooler here...finally!)
