Adrianna turned four this week. FOUR. I cannot believe my baby girl (or “big girl”, as she often reminds me) is four years old already. We were planning on having a family party last weekend but, unfortunately, we got some bad weather instead. Denver was hit with a heavy and very wet snow and then […]

Pete’s Dragon
Introduced Adrianna to the old Disney movie, Pete’s Dragon. She really likes Elliott. I wonder if we will be hearing dragon stories from her after this. I made Greg watch it too since he’d never seen it before.
Faithful Friends
Over the past few weeks, I have noticed an increasing friendship between Adrianna and our dogs, Chloe and Molly. I first took note of it when Adrianna started commenting on our Disneyland trip about how much she missed them. And since we’ve been back, Adrianna is always wanting to play with them, to sleep with […]
Remembering Memories
Adrianna is learning new things so quickly and she likes to recite what she has learned back to me, followed by a “right?” For instance, “Fruit makes you strong, right?” or “Sharks are bad, right?” Frequently, she will repeat something back to me that occurred weeks or even months ago. I am often astounded at […]
Like a Record, Baby
Adrianna came downstairs and, noticing her pouty face, I asked her what was wrong. She sadly told me, “Daddy won’t spin me right round, like a record, baby.” I couldn’t help but laugh out loud, especially when she followed it up with a question to me, “Mommy, will you spin me right round, like a […]
Tomatoes
Adrianna told me today: There was a tomato at Teddy’s house today, but not the kind you eat. It was the kind where you go in your basement. It boomed onto his house and swirled up Teddy’s house. And then my bunny came to his house and flapped his arms and ate the tomato. They […]
Storytime
Listening to Greg read Adrianna a bedtime story, complete with funny voices. Love.
A-D-R-I-A-N-N-A
I have been trying to teach Adrianna how to spell her own name. We have a song that my uncle made up for his daughter (Larrina) many years ago that I adapted for Adrianna, because I know that songs can really help with memorization. I like to run and I like to play I also […]
Big Thoughts
Adrianna was chattering away at me with many thoughts coming from all over the place when she asked me, “Mommy, what if there was no light or no earf [earth] or no God?” I told her if that were true, then I guess we wouldn’t be here, to which she responded, “Then God would have […]
A Perfect Afternoon Date with my Daughter
One of the things I absolutely love about only working part-time is the afternoons Adrianna and I have to spend together, just the two of us. Not that we don’t like having Greg around, but I feel the girl-time is so precious, especially now that she is so chatty. I know that sometimes she feels […]
