doesn't everyone wear strollers on their head?

Jim wants it known that he did not teach her to do this.

an afternoon at Central Park

Jessica spent a fun afternoon with her nana at Central park. She had fun riding the train and looking at the koi fish.

Jessica flies a Blue Angels plane

This weekend, we took Jessica back to the airplane museum. She had fun flying the Blue Angel plane with her daddy.

swing now

Right before they came to do the grass, we took apart Jessica's swing. The new swing set is coming next week and the one she had been using was getting too small for her. Of course, ever since then, she has been running around going "Swing now, swing now". To make it even worse, she would drag the swing bucket around the backyard just in case we didn't understand what she meant by swing now. Jim figured out that we could hang the bucket swing on some hooks at the front of the house, and she has been happy ever since. Of course, anytime we go in or out the door now, we hear swing now.

Jessica and Duke watch Elmo

This week, I spent a lot of time at a conference. Tuesday night, Jessica stayed up late watching Elmo with Duke and her daddy so she could see me before going to bed. Once again, Duke is really a good boy. Who knew he could double as a cushion. Usually he thinks of people as his own personal pillows.

Jessica cools down in the heat

Yesterday, it was 96 degrees at 5pm in the afternoon. Jessica cooled down in the heat by playing in mini pool.

Jessica goes to the zoo with Leilani

Jessica went to the zoo with Leilani this weekend. The girls had fun seeing all the different animals and walking around together. Jessica became quite attached to one goat in the petting zoo too.

Jessica likes her new clothes from Mimi

Jessica likes her knew capri outfits that her Mimi made her.

the grass is done

Our new grass is done. The dogs really liked their first run in the yard and were happy to have free roam of the yard again. It's a much bigger space than they had had for about two years. Jessica even seemed to enjoy it. She has a tendency to chant moo-moo as he runs after the ball. The yard will probably never look this big again as Jessica's play set is going to be delivered in about a week. I have a suspicion that our whole yard will be play set and play house. Oh well.

Jessica likes drapes

Jim's new room has drapes over the back of the fish tank to hide it from view. Jessica thinks that this is the best play area ever.

our grass is moving along

Heavenly Greens came today and is putting in our puppy proof lawn. Here are some photos of the progress that was done today. We're hoping that it will be done tomorrow.

the result of Jessica dressing herself

This is the result of Jessica dressing herself last night. She got into her closet and decided rain boots and fancy purses were needed to go night-night.

Easter Fun

We had family and friends over for Easter brunch this Sunday. Luckily, the weather was quite warm and we could have the easter egg hunt / brunch outside. Jessica didn't quite get the easter egg hunt this year, but she loved swinging, playing with her friends, and eating cupcakes. Better photos to come once Jim posts his.

the room is getting closer

Jim and I emptied the pod this weekend (mostly Jim) and he put everything in the cabinets. It all seemed to fit. The cabinets also have doors and handles now.

Jessica goes to Hannah's party

This weekend, Jessica went to Hannah's birthday party. She seemed to like the Cookie Monster pinata, but was most fascinated by the numbers on the picnic tables at the park.

beds are fun i guess

Jessica sure had a fun time running around on our bed and in the pillows last night.

Jessica plays doctor

Jessica likes to play doctor. She uses us or the dogs as her patient. Last night, Duke let her take his heartbeat. Mousse, on the other hand, was not as willing and decided to run around trying to give her kisses. Very distracting for a doctor I imagine.

Jim's new room is taking shape

Jim's new office is taking shape. The cabinets are in (minus doors) and he's starting to unload his old room and pod.

Jessica loves to chew on straws.

While out at dinner, Jessica likes to entertain herself with her straw by chomping on it. I'm not sure if all kids this ago do that as her other friends don't seem to be so intent on it. It could be one of those things she got from me.
