St.Pat's Pics and the Park

More updates from Atlanta a little late. We made cookies for St. Pat's and went to the park last weekend. Olivia is absolutely obsessed with slides. We cannot get her away from them.


Slide walking. This concerns me.



Cute but not the look we would like to see in twenty years.



More swing!

Cookies. Delicious green cookies.

That's all folks!

Belated Updates

Ahhhh, the park!

The weekend following Olivia's birthday we enjoyed a

last minute visit from Yiaya and Papou. We were fortunate

to have 70+ degree weather. Perfect for hanging out

at the park! Check out our 2 year-old hamming it

up in C-town.

I was pushing Olivia in this photo. Doesn't it look

like we are both doing some sort of dance move?

The boys with beards, 2009. We think Zak definitely
has Papou beat now that Papou has trimmed his wild

white beard.

S.L.I.D.E!!!! This child is a bona fide slide addict!

Doesn't Olivia look like Pebbles in this photo?

Pearce is such a chill baby and this photo embodies

his laid-back personality. He loves to lounge and watch

TV.

This photo is hilarious. Pearce is just as focused

on the computer as Pat is. I guess he can be a little

intense too. :)

Pearce and Yiaya and Mom at the park.

Ticklish toes. This boy has the most infectious

laugh when tickled. We really need to record

it and post it online.

Happy early St. Pat's Day!

Happy 2nd Birthday Olivia!

We've been a little slow with the updates so here's the latest to make up for it. Thanks to everyone who sent gifts and called O on her 2nd birthday, she now thinks anything that comes in the mail is a present.





Mmmm Frosting


Smile Pearce!


Frosting was everywhere.


Here I am being told to sit down again.


Can't quite figure out the party hat thing.


Liv was not happy with Pearce sitting on her slide. Olivia's slide Daddy!


Mugging on the new slide.


Within an hour and 15 minutes she made it down the slide about 45 times.


I should be concerned about her going head first.


Me and Pearce.

Kate and Pearce.

Pearcey Lips.

Olivia cooperated long enough for this shot before heading down the slide.

Liv got a new baby Elmo complete with pacifier and diaper. He went down the slide a couple of times.

Head first - Elmo in tow.

First attempt at a family photo. We couldn't get Olivia off the slide.

Second attempt.

This one is from Sunday when we were hit by Winter Storm '09. We probably got about an inch of snow which stuck to some of the roads and created complete havoc in Atlanta for 24 hours. At least it was pretty.

Grant Park Fun

This morning we took the kiddos to the park.
We foolishly did not anticipate the COLD weather.
It was windy and chilly. I felt like I was back in the
Midwest. Thankfully, Aunt Libby hooked Pearce
up with this snuggly Flyers carseat coccoon. He
slept like a champ the entire morning!

Olivia, on the other hand, had a blast. The cold did
not stop her from enjoying swings, slides, and balloons.
Oh, that's some other kid's balloon. Too bad for him,
according to Olivia, everything is "mine" these days.

Finishing a trip down the "big kid" slide.

Clowning with Mommy.

Sugar Cookies

Enjoying the fruits of her labor.

Sugar cookie #2...going down!

Sprinkles rock!

Why no sprinkles on this one?

A little help goes a long way.

Pearce gets some Valentinian love from our

Anteater...er, Siberian.

Fun in the bouncy seat.

Doesn't he have the sweetest smile?

We hope everyone had a wonderful V-Day!
