"Two of my best friends came to play with me in the snow!"

Reading and day dreaming last week – just had to post!

It was so great seeing Emme and Elizabeth today!

Noelle was taking good care of Emme!  She was so proud of her little friend, patting her and giving her her paci.  She talked and talked, telling Emme lots of girly things.

We gave Emme a little Easter bunny romper and her mommy was as happy as she was!  We love you guys!

We have been busy busy the past couple of days.  We played with the neighborhood kids again on Sunday, signed up for school on Monday morning (we waited in line for 3 hours!), played with Hudson that afternoon and went to Mops this morning.

Saturday we had some friends over for supper and games.  Noelle absolutely loves Jillian, Jamie, and Sam – we play with them a lot (I’m going to start bringing my camera to the park more often, but I’m trying not to be camera mom at the same time)! 

Lindsay supervising the kiddy table.  Sam and Jillian have the cutest little personalities.  I love how Jillian’s just hanging out with her legs crossed in the 2nd pic.

Busy coloring…

Since Jillian has a paci, Noelle had to have a paci.  It was so cute and funny – she had no clue what to do with it.  She had it on the side of her mouth, just gnawing on it like a little horsey.

We had to clean up the kitchen and run a load of laundry after everyone left, so Noelle got comfy and watched a Coldplay concert while we got ready for bed.  She loves the yellow song (that’s what she calls it).  I’ll post it for you to hear soon.

Noelle and her sweet friend Ashley took baby doll on a fun stroll up and down the hill Saturday afternoon!

Noelle loves her new outfit to match her baby doll! 

I love the pine trees at the top of our hill – they remind me of East Texas!  Our neighbor Ashley is the survivor of a kidney transplant.  She is a brave and kind little girl, and we love to play with her. 

Noelle was taking such good care of her baby, making sure she was having lots of fun!

The neighborhood boys thought Noelle was so cute!  They even let her play football with them… they are good kids.

When Noelle threw the ball, one of the boys said, "She’s a baby girl Tony Romo!"  Noelle felt so special and loved playing with the big kids.

…going up the hill one last time!  "Bye bye!"  We had such a great afternoon playing outside!

Before our mid-week gathering last night, I took some pics of Noelle with two of her big buds.  She even woke up yesterday asking for Megan and Ernic!

Our friend Eric, who we so endearingly call Ernic, and Noelle have a really special bond.  Not only does he have a cool beard, but Noelle absolutely loves his Vespa ("Mocycle, Vepa!").  She thought it was so cool when he cranked it up for her and turned on the lights.  She wasn’t scared at all!  Noelle absolutely loves having the gang over on Thursdays!

"Drew, let’s play with my baby doll!"

"See, isn’t this fun?"  Drew literally broke down within seconds…

"Kindly get that girly doll away from me!"

Goofy girl! 

That’s better!  The kids eating at one of Momo and Chele’s favorite guilty pleasures – Chapp’s!  The kids actually ate lots of hamburger meat and french fries – they loved it!

Thanks for stopping by on your way to Poppa and Rara’s.  We had so much fun shopping with you this afternoon!  I wish I had gotten pictures of all that trying on business.  The kids were great sports, and we’ll have to do it again soon!

Noelle reading her bed time story last night.  She is crazy about pillows these days.

So this is what I found when I came in our bathroom yesterday.  Noelle hates the nose sucker, but she sneaked it out of the cabinet and laid down on the floor like we do when she is sick, and started trying to blow her nose.  I couldn’t believe it!

Then it was baby’s turn.  We haven’t had to use the booger snatcher since before Christmas, so maybe she forgot how awful it is.  That’s fine with me because this entertained her for a good little bit!

Ta-Da!  "I’m one silly little girl!"
