Just some random pictures

Thais and Skylee boy decided to have apples as a snack today. I love Skyler's lips in this picture, they look ginormous. He was totally lovin' that apple!


Any place we go, if Thais spots a dog, she immediately races over and wants to love that doggy all she can. I think she played with like three different dogs at the park today. Her love for them always tempts me to get her a puppy, but then I think of dog hair all over our house and I always change my mind. Is that mean or what!?! We just didn't grow up with animals, so I don't appreciate the joy in a pet. Too bad goldfish weren't more lovable!

I just had to post this picture and fondly speak about my daughter for a minute. I am completely fascinated by this little person, who has more personality than she knows what to do with. She defines the word social, and I often watch in awe as we go places, and by the end of our stay almost everyone there knows her name. Today, at the park she was just working it, getting to know everyone around her. These girls were playing on the tire swing and she went up to them and said, "Hi, can I play with you?" At first, they responded by saying that they go too fast and she wouldn't be able to do it. Thais quickly responded by saying, "I do it! I Can do it!" So, one of the girls suggested that they let her play. Thais was in heaven being allowed to play with the older girls, and by the end she had them playing all over the park with her loving every minute of it. Grocery stores, are a huge social event for her as she visits with everyone in line. Yesterday she turned to an old lady in front of us and said, "Hey Grandma, are you going home to you Grandpa?" Or the other day when we were riding the train she turned to the woman sitting by us and said, "Soo, how's in going?" The woman just looked at her kind of amazed that this little person was talking to her like an adult and they proceeded to have this great conversation! The amazing thing is how quickly she engages people and gets them talking to her like she is their long lost friend. I admire that quality so much! There are so many people I would like to get to know better and lack the fearless and friendly nature of my daughter to make that happen. Her baby blessing talks of how completely loved people will feel around Thais, and at three years old I am already witnessing her little spirit at work. She is teaching me about how I want to be, and I totally look up to this little girl!
