We are currently watching “Horton Hears a Who” for the second time this week. I think it is Adrianna’s new favorite movie (and book!)

Preschool Visits
I have been able to visit Adrianna’s class on a couple of special occasions. I really enjoy getting that glimpse of her day and meeting her classmates, and Adrianna seems thrilled to have me there. The first visit I made was to attend her first field trip: a walk to a nearby bowling alley. We […]
The Telling of Jokes
Overheard this evening: Adrianna: Daddy, Daddy, I have to tell you something. Greg: What do you have to tell me? Adrianna: Chickenbutt. Hmmm, that’s not quite how the joke goes. The conversation then progressed to: Adrianna: You know what? Greg: What? Adrianna: Teddy Bear. [Insert a lot of little girl giggles here.] Adrianna: You know […]
Basin Picnic
This past weekend, we went to Wyoming for the annual Basin picnic. Adrianna had fun playing at the park and was excited to acquire another squirt gun. (Actually, three squirt guns.) We were also glad to get to see Ebony there. Karen and Zach also came to town for the weekend. And of course we […]
Boulder Creek Trail
After a delicious brunch at Village Inn, we drove out to Boulder to spend the nice afternoon along the Boulder Creek Trail. We had never been there before, though we’d driven by on various trips out to the nearby foothills. The place is beautiful and from the start, Adrianna was very excited to walk the […]
Future Career?
Two times in the past week, Adrianna has initiated the following conversation with me. Both times, it went something along the lines of: Adrianna: Mommy, do you know what I want to be when I grow up? Me: What do you want to be? Adrianna: A teacher. Me: A teacher? That’s a good thing to […]
Water Table Play
I get a lot of enjoyment out of listening to Adrianna play. Being an only child (for now), she is very good at entertaining herself, though she does often ask Greg or I to play with her. But when she is playing alone, she still keeps up a running dialogue amongst the characters she is […]
A Drawing of Our Family
Adrianna drew a picture of our family on the magna-doodle today. I took a picture of it (before it got erased to make room for her next masterpiece) because it was another one that made me smile. When she was pointing out who was who in the drawing, I was told, “the one with the […]
Adrianna and the Ants
Adrianna’s drawings are starting to take shape. Her people are beginning to have arms, legs, eyes and mouths. They also have appropriately colored hair and often, though not always, they even have nipples and a belly button. This particular drawing she made this morning. It is of herself, “Bobo the ant” (a character Greg made […]
The Flu or Something Like It
We have been battling a nasty flu bug in our household over the past week and a half. It has been a tricky illness, especially in Adrianna’s case, as it seems to come and go with no rhyme or reason. She will be sick and throwing up one day, fine for a couple of days, […]
