THE dinner to beat all dinners. Juj's Dad put on this

Absolutely delightful meal . . . we were impressed!

No idea why Puma's the only one in the light.

Myan's Swingset!

Myan was going to get a whole playset for her 2nd birthday -- but that still hasn't come fully together. What she does have, however is her own swing! (wiiing, as she says) Here are some pics on her new swing in the backyard!

Myan kept saying 'no,no' to pictures. I asked her to 'give me the look' and of course, she did. She can't resist giving 'the look.' I believe that she thinks that she's putting a hex on people with this 'look' and sometimes -- I think she may be right. Little angel.

The Swing.

Happily chewing gum (which Dr. Molly said 'no more of) on her swing.

oye god. I almost forgot about this find. I found this little rocker at an antique shop for $30 bucks. Can you believe it? It's so cute and retro and classic -- I just love it! And, thankfully, so does Myan.
