It’s been intense around here, but Annie is learning new things every day, and we’re all still in love! This week, the girls took it upon themselves to teach her to color. Now she asks for it every day!

Christmas Break with Grandma and Grandpa
Posted in Annie, Elizabeth, Family, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Dec 30th, 2018
We had to try out the new Christmas gifts down at Bluffs Park. The girls and I took Grandma and Grandpa to the Huntington! Then the next day, we headed down to the Getty Villa. And we went out to dinner at Paradise Cove, where Annie behaved for the whole time. And we even managed […]
This year’s matching Christmas pajamas brought to you by primary.com. The much longed-for yellow body pillow was perhaps the biggest hit of the morning. Annie needed help opening all her presents, but she quickly got into it. Tommy helped Daddy assemble her big present! She is a big fan. Elizabeth gave her sisters matching dresses…and […]

We’re studying mammals in science right now, so today we took a field trip up to the Santa Barbara Zoo to observe some up close! Annie was about as interested as most babies who can’t actually see the animals are, but she did say “pink bird” when we showed her the flamingos, so we’re saying […]

Happy Second Birthday, Annie!

Since she doesn’t eat table food, the traditional birthday celebrations were a bit tricky. We made pancakes and bacon for her birthday breakfast, but she just tossed hers off the tray. We didn’t know until […]
