Dan sent me this string of pictures he had taken...along with their names, as indicated below! I thought it was precious and it made me smile, so I am sharing it with you!

What's Wrong with You?

So we had Daniley's first and only cousin Dexter (aka James, aka JD, aka James Dexter) over to spend the night. His visit was mostly brief, or at least it seemed that way. We picked Dexter up and then went to Pizza Hut.

While we were there, we let Daniley dangle off the edge of the table while Dexter tried out some cheese.
Then we went to Target, where Dan discovered his true identity (Daddy/Uncle/I-will-do-anything-for-you-Daniley-including-push-strollers-in-public).


We then discovered if there was going to be a trouble maker in the family, who it will be. :-) (Oh Lord, please help me, she acts sort of like me.)



Then we went to the pet store and checked out birds, snakes, fish, and lizards.

Then Saturday, we went to yard sales. Now most of you blog readers probably think at this point I'm out of my mind. But my real friends know I don't miss yard sales on any account. (I found a perfect Fossil wallet to match my black Fossil purse for only $2!!!! The purse was also $2 but Mom found that for me 2 weeks ago.) Well anyway, I didn't get pictures of us yard saling because I didn't have any hands or energy left but we had a good time. Come back any time, baby Dexter!!!

We finally made it to the zoo! We had a great time. Daniley enjoyed seeing the animals. The zoo always seemed a lot bigger when I was little. I can't remember the last time I went...I must have been 10. This time I felt like there wasn't all that much to it. Wierd how when you're small the world seems so big.
Anyway, we got this picture of a butterfly on Daniley's head.

It has sadly been almost a month since I have updated my blog...yes I'm aware. There just seem to be so many fun things to do besides uploading pictures! So what have we been doing these days? PLAYING HARD! Daniley is into EVERYTHING. Paper is her new favorite food! She pulls up on everything, opens any drawer/cabinet, unloads anything contained, waits for you to put it all back, and then starts over! Sounds exhausting, but somehow I'm managing okay. :-)





Daniley's injuries so far have been low key, including twice clipping alligator clips to her tongue, having batteries dropped on her head, slicing her knee slightly with a knife, and falling off the bed. So far we've had no swelling or bruises and the knee slicing only looked like several small paper cuts. So we've had no medical intervention. GO MOM!!! (lol)





We've been hanging out with friends, growing a garden, checking out the nursery at church, and just to sum it up, having a real fun time. Daniley isn't talking or walking although I expect either any day. Here is a pool photo from an afternoon out with the girls (and Dan!) :-*
