My daughter the computer nerd…. :-)

We have this ancient Amiga computer that we bought soon after we got married.  Right now, the only place to keep it is in the laundry room.  We still have it because of a game that’s on it---my husband and our friend Kenn LOVE to play Bandit Kings of Ancient China.  It’s sort of a male bonding thing, I guess. I really just don’t understand.

Anyway,  I came home to this the other afternoon:

 

Sigh.

Swinging with cousins Jack and Wyatt

 

Glenda, the Glamorous Gecko

 

We went to run an errand this morning after I got done at the dentist.  Please meet Glenda, the Glamorous Gecko.  We’re so happy to welcome her to our family!

Seriously, I think stores do this on purpose…Glenda was on a bottom shelf, with her Webkins friends, and was just at the right height for someone to snag her as we walked past.  I wouldn’t have bought her (we have WAY too many stuffed animals already), but K is teething and had already chomped down on Miss Glenda’s tail before I even noticed she’d been manhandled.

The funniest part of all of this:  Miss Glenda is now hanging out with our napping child, wet gecko tail and all.  But, as Karina was nodding off for her nap, she pushed Glenda over to the side and grabbed Slicky Bunny to snuggle with.  Old friends are apparently the best friends when you’re teething! 

Blue Spotted Pants Blues…

the many moods of Karina

 

Thursday afternoon at the grocery store…Karina loves to hug the bananas as we stroll through the store!

This afternoon---hanging out with Daddy outside on the back steps of the church:

 

  

Bath Time…

This is a shout out to Aveeno and all of their great bath products.  And also to California Baby and their awesome Aloe Vera face cream.  The rashy, dry-skin stuff is all gone!

We’ve traded up—from a red balloon to a red BALL!

 

We went to Walgreens a couple of days ago to get some pictures developed.  While we were waiting, we walked around the store and, of course, walked by the BIG ball display.  Guess who came home with more permanent replacement for the beloved red balloon?

  

We’ve walked a few more times now, but still a bit hesitantly.  However, this is walking with an added challenge…the bowl of Cheerios!

Just swinging….

Yesterday we walked all the way to the big park for the first time in the stroller.  It was such a pretty day, and it was so nice to be outside here.

This was Miss K’s first experience on the swing.  I wish I had the video camera on from the very beginning, but I was busy watching her to see how she’d react.  Her first response was a very loud, “WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
