Caroline's 1st Birthday

I went to my friend Caroline's 1st birthday party on Sunday. She is a neighbor of mine, and I hope to play with her a lot in the future. Her party was so much fun- it was a monkey theme with pink and brown details everywhere. She even gave me a mixed CD and cookies as a party favor! Happy Birthday Caroline!

Thanksgiving with Great-Grandmother Helen

I had an early Thanksgiving meal with my Great-Grandmother Helen, my Uncle Bobby, Aunt Isabella, and Cousin Alberto. Gogo and Bo Daddy were there too! It was also a birthday celebration for Helen, as she celebrated her birthday on November 16th. I loved seeing everyone, and was on my best behavior (could have been because mom gave me sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce- the good canned kind). I loved the song Isabella sang to me in Italian, and hope to one day have hair like Alberto!

Out with the Old, In with the New

I have sadly had to retire my friend, the baby bjorn. Although there were many fun times in the bjorn, I think that I like my new carrier just as much. The ultimate test of the new backpack will come this Wednesday, as we brave the Atlanta Airport with millions of other Thanksgiving travellers. Wish us luck!

It's finally getting cold outside

But, not too cold for the park - weeee!

(yes, that is a youth hat. The infant hats no longer fit)

Tagged

So I got "tagged" by Domenica/ Sunday Grant (BellaRose's adorable mom and high school friend of mine). I am gathering that this is some warped form of a blog chain letter? You know the emails you get every Friday when others are bored at work and looking for something fun to do/ pass around. You can always guess the friends who will participate, but you know that everyone reads them. So I am to write 10 random things about myself that others would not necessarily know about me. In the spirit of not having having bad luck for x number of years, here goes:

1) I am deathly afraid of clowns (really anything that has a painted face)
2) When I was little, I used to model "Multiples" clothes at the mall - remember those, the ones where a tube top is a dress, no its a scarf, no its a skirt...
3) I genuinely love visiting retirement homes and my grandparents, and find that there is so much to learn from those who have come before us and lived a long life. Great family stories should always live on, and humor is the best medicine at any age
4) I am a landscape architect, but have the worst looking back yard out of anyone I know
5) Popcorn hurts my stomach, always has
6) My brother Andy and I got up in front of the studio audience at a taping of "Wheel of Fortune" and did the Pee Wee Herman dance in order to score a hot "WOF" mesh hat- we were about 7 and 9 years old
7) Andy has this deep laugh that he does when I say the stupidest things. It is a type of funny that I have never witnessed before he came along
8) I check popsugar (http://www.popsugar.com/) at least 20 times a day - I apologize ahead of time if I start an obsession
9) Whenever Patrick comes in the room, Andy gives him the biggest smile in the World. I can already tell that he is going to live to make his daddy proud
10) I am a reality show junkie. Patrick and I were on "While you were out" (not his wish...) and I applied to be on "The Amazing Race" with Amanda Orr (we did not get a call back, but made a hilarious application video)

I now have to tag others, but unfortunately Domenica tagged most of the others that are on our Friends list. So anyone who is inspired to create their Top 10 random things to know about you- please go ahead!
