Family of four...why do I always look so weird???
Three years and nine months ago we were sitting around with nothing to do...now we are a family of four and our oldest daughter is 3, a preschooler, potty trained, sleeping in a big girl bed, dresses herself, can get a snack from the pantry, knows how to get water from the door of the fridge, she can turn on the TV and play a DVD, she knows how to brush her teeth, wash her hair, pedal her tricycle, scoot on her scooter. She can jump into the pool, jump off the back of the boat, she counts to twenty, knows her ABC's, sings as many songs as an ipod, has been to 29 states and 7 countries, has been to the E.R. (only once), has locked herself in my car, has about 100 hours in her log book flying with her daddy, has had 15 ear infections, an unnatural love for all things princess, and recently learned how to put, " NO" into complete sentences...Mommy don't say No to me, Daddy, no you can't, I told you NO Ally!
Here are some pictures celebrating with Nana and Papa in San Diego. We'll be celebrating in Indiana in a few weeks...
