Someone likes cake

I like cake, but I think someone else likes cake more than me.  I love this pictures because it shows a smile we rarely see on camera.  And I love it.  I hope you do, too.

Happy Sunday!

Father's Day Gift

Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there!  I got an idea for a Father's Day gift for Scott a couple of weeks ago from Apartment Therapy.  It was a great way to display a collection.  Scott has collected comic books since he was little, and we have boxes of them stashed away in a closet.  He tells me they are worth a lot and also they are worth nothing because he will never sell them.  So I asked him to chose 9 of his favorites for a project I had in mind (I had to promise to take excellent care of them).  So here is the end result.  Happy Father's Day Scott!

Daddy's Home

words

(random, but cute, picture)

Tessa can say -

Dada
Dog (da)
Cat (dat)
Hi (Hiiiiiiiiii)
Eat
Moo (mmmmmmmm - but she does this consistently when we ask her what a cow says... and what a horse says)
Book
and her newest Shoes! (shhhs)

See something missing?  No?  How about Mama?  This is what I get:

Me: Tessa, say Mama
Tessa: Dada!
Me: No, Mama
Tessa: Dada!
Me: Mama
Tessa: Dada!

I give up.

Need pictures, ASAP

I took a photo of Tessa every day her first year (missing a day here and there)... but I do have a coffee table  book of 365 photos in the works.  I am glad that I don't have the pressure of getting the camera out every day, but I am finding less things to blog about!  So here are some more pictures from her birthday weekend, enjoying her new water table from Grandma and Grandpa McMillan -

A Late Birthday Present

My birthday was yesterday, although I have only received one birthday present so far (Thanks Katie!).  Scott told me that he would take me shopping.  Tessa scribbled in a card, and I was assured yesterday I would get more gifts by this weekend.  But I did receive an e-mail today letting me know that our backyard was to be featured on Ohdeedoh.com today.  I am so excited that they love our outdoor space as much as we do.  Thanks ohdeedoh for a great birthday gift.  You have made my day!
