Thanksgiving in Baltimore....highlights

Annie giving cotton monster a piggy-back ride.

Annie got to print her very own shirt!


Since we didn't have our camera with us, two kids, carseats, books, toys etc was enough to worry about on the plane, we got these from Grampy and Jenny--great photos guys!

Little mountain climber

These days it is very rare to find the cushions actually ON our couch.

Scarface

Annie may be little but she is never one to shy away from a fight. The other day when we picked her up from school she had a huge scratch that ran from the top of her eye down her cheek. She knows Scarface isn't her name, but calling her that evoked a demonic voice fitting of a scarface character....I think we have a budding actress on our hands.

Lights, Cameras....

Hummm....they seem so well behaved in the final product, if only we had a video of the chaos that was actually going on!

Can't think of anything cuter....

It's hard to beat a weekend morning when you get to wake up with these two cuties. Ollie has really been coming into her own lately...she says Dada now and today she pulled herself up to standing for the first time!

....mama

Little Ollie said Mama today for the first time!

Annie, I mean Raina

These days Annie is really into make-believe play. Our friends Raina and Eric just had a little baby boy, Oliver, and this evening Annie was pretending to be Raina.

Fun on the ball
