A cool web gadget -- Wordle

I just found this in a digital scrapbooking magazine. It is easy and free, and pretty cool! You can make random word page collages, you just copy and paste the text info the generator....

Megan Counting

This video says alot about Dora. After many hours watching the same Dora movie over and over (Thanks Grandpa and Grammie) and reading Dora bedtime books (Thanks Dave, Melissa and Annie) this evolved last week, but I only caught it on tape today.

Bows bows bows -- so fun to have a girl

I don't think I ever posted a picture of my handywork! Nothing too exciting, but a custom bow hanger that I made for Megan to match her room. Plus lots of bows too! Some homemade, and some not so much.....

Just a sweet picture of Megan at Bedtime! Thanks to Uncle Doug and Aunt Gina for her cool new Dora PJs!

Playing Candyland

Tonight, Megan asked to play Candyland, and we had a family game night. She is getting pretty good at it, although tonight she broke down SOBBING at the end because Daddy won. Daddy proclaimed his victory (anyone who has ever played games with Chris knows how this goes!) and then Megan cried and cried because she wanted to win.

So we had to have a little discussion about how you don't always win, and you have to be a good sport. She then perked up (see photo) and asked Daddy to play again. "Daddy -- will you play Candyland with me? but DON'T WIN, allright?"

ANOTHER Christmas!!!

This past weekend we got to have another Christmas celebration with most of Chris's family at his sister's in Houston. Megan just adores her two cousins, Lauren and Lily and talked about going to Houston for weeks before we actually made it.

She had a wonderful time, and was so exhausted from all the fun, that she was in bed, completely asleep tonight at 7PM. Wow.

We left on New Year's Day, and then on Friday we took Lauren and Megan to the Children's Museum of Houston, while poor Lily went to school! Here are a few cute pictures from that trip!

Then, Friday night Nana and Papa joined us, and Friday night's project was assembling the wagon that Megan got her cousins so we could use it on Saturday, and thenon Saturday we loaded everyone up for a trip to the Houston Zoo!

After naps for ALMOST everyone (Megan was the only one who REFUSED to nap) we had Christmas and opened presents!

This week's project will be assembling Megan's new dollhouse! More photos to come

Santa brought a bicycle

Here are a few photos of Christmas Day where Megan practiced riding her new big girl bicycle that Santa brought! One of my very favorite things that I miss about Amarillo are the beautiful sunsets, and here there is a snippet of my favorite sky too, along with our three-year old having a GREAT time!
