lee county fair

We had a great time at the fair!




This time Mya was eager to ride the ponies!




Every time they came around to where I was standing Mya would say "I'm doodin it, I'm doodin it!"

what we've been up to lately

Two year olds are fickle, Mya has obsessions that come and go in a matter of weeks. It happens with everything from favorite cartoons to toys to foods. Her recent infatuation with Kung Fu Panda has now given way to Curious George. From making animal cut-outs with Play-Doh to hiding, carrot sticks to yogurt which she pronounces 'yoo-grit'.


 Here is our cave in the living room, we make and re-make this every day. I wonder what will be next!

a visit from great-grandma connie and clarence



This weekend we had the chance to meet up with papa's grandma Connie and her main squeeze Clarence. We went to the Thomas Edison-Henry Ford Winter Estates which are in Fort Myers, here are some pictures of the botanical gardens which covered the whole grounds:








Talk about prime riverfront property!

work that dough!

We went to a restaurant where they gave Mya some dough to play with while we waited for our food. It started out as a great idea...




...then this happened!

manatee park

At Manatee Park we saw manatees, butterflies, and a beautiful tree covered in Spanish moss!




Shortly after this picture was taken we were approached by a couple who wanted to take Mya's picture because they said she looked just like Shirley Temple.

p-pa, g-ma, and katie come to visit!

It's been awhile since I've posted, I know but it was for a good reason - P-pa Otie, G-ma Virg, and Katie came to visit! We had a great time and there will be more pictures in the days to come. Thank you P-pa and G-ma for taking the extra time to drive down with Katie - Mya and mama got a dose of much needed Katie love! Here are some shots of the girls reunion:




Katie was good enough to give some of Mya's stuffed animals 'rides'. Such a good big sister :-)
