Just Eating Breakfast

Just a couple of pictures from breakfast. Since Julia stole my stole my sandwich and I had nothing to eat, I grabbed Jessica's camera. -- L

A Few Pictures from the Park -- by Luke

Julia and I went to the park today and I took a few pictures -- just for fun. We had a good time, but then the rain came, so we didn't stay long. Though it was fun to run home in the rain. Julia at the top of the slide. There was actually water on the slide, so she didn't want to sit down. She decided that just "being crazy" was fun enough. May I help you? While we were playing, the clouds rolled in, together with some wind gusts. The first time the wind came, Julia was surprised and a bit unsettled. She looked up at the sky as if to say: Why are you doing this to me? Here are her best wind avoidance techniques: Here she is looking through the little mail slot at the "General Store." And then the rain came, and we ran home.

"I'm going to give you a hug Mama so you can go to work." Too big!

She has so many talents!

Ms. Fix It

I was trying to put a bed frame together this morning. It's pretty difficult though. I was really confused and well -- hopeless. Luckily Ms. Fix It came to the rescue and put it all together just like that. I was very thankful. She refused monetary payment, but was very thankful to accept a reward in sucker form. Can anyone guess what color the sucker was? -L

What Julia ate for breakfast...

Chick-o-Lay

We were at the playground at Chick-fil-A ("Chick-o-Lay") and Julia made friends with a family of 3 kids (there were guardians too).  They were all running around and sliding, and I heard the boy who, at about 6, was the oldest start talking to Julia.  He asked her "what's 2+2?"  Julia, paused for a short moment to consider the question and said "umm... 5, I think."

The boy's grandmother, with whom I'd been talking a bit said: Jacob you can't ask her that, she's only two.  Jacob responded: "She told me she was five!"  (I suppose he had no reason to expect she would lie.)

Bored of all the math Julia decided to talk to the young girl, about four or five, all about "Light McQueen" and Mater being best friends.  I think this may have been her way of asking if the girl wanted to be friends.  It's the suggestion method, I suppose.  "You know, Light McQueen and Mater are best friends.  It's interesting.  And to think, here we are just talking and playing on the slide."

A day in the life of Julia

So Julia is growing up so fast! We are in our second week of swimming lessons. I just got back from being out of town for a week. I've had lots of photo shoots and a great wedding over this past weekend. I had to take a minute to share some photos of Julia though. Some things I've noticed and I love lately: 1. When I clipped her nails the other day, crayon scrapings were falling everywhere from where she had scrapped the wax. 2. We had some popcorn for a snack yesterday and she called it "Popcorn" not "Popcorns" like she used to. Awww.... 3. She is just talking so much! Today the pest control guy came to spray and she said, "That's the bug doctor. He is spraying the house. Where did the doctor go? Oh, he is in Mama and Tata's garage, spraying the bugs" 4. She has a habit of saying things like, "I'm hungry because.... I'm hungry" or "I'm going to put my shoes on because.... I'm going to put my shoes on." 5. Today she put on her shoes, "Look mommy, one house shoe and one boot!" The boot was a white dress shoe on her left and sure enough, a pink house slipper on her right. 6. It's non-stop almost. She is a T-A-L-K-E-R! I wonder where she gets that from? ;-) Without further adieu, here is the link to a few photos with captions of Julia: www.jessicaklimaphotography.com/20090810
