New Beginnings...

Amelia loved her first day of nursery. She didn't cry, and she didn't make anyone else cry.

SUCCESS!

She brought home the cutest handout about being a friend. We love nursery!

growing up....

Amelia is in LOVE

Amelia loooooves her cousins. Every morning when she wakes up, and every morning when she gets up from her nap she says the same thing..."Emma, Cate, Emma, Cate, Emma Cate." She talks about them when she is playing, and asks to see and hold their picture.

It was so much fun to spend 2 weekends with them this month.

Here are pictures from the first weekend(just click on the picture to make the photo bigger):


Then, since the Thurstons didn't get enough of us the first time....they came back...well, Richard and Emma stayed with his parents at a hotel on the beach. Nathalie and Cate stayed are our "bed and breakfast," which is really "couch and cheerios."

Here are some cute pics of Cate & Amelia hanging out:

We were sad to see them go...both times. With Richard and Nathalie possibly moving across the country, this may have been our last weekend together in San Diego. Oh...we love you Thurston family!

Musical Genius

So, right now I am sitting at the computer sending a few emails, and Amelia is watching her Sesame Street silly songs movie. There is a duet done by Kermit and Don Music, in which Kermit helps Don Music write a song. Don Music plays the piano during the duet.

As soon as the song came on, Amelia ran to the piano, opened the lid, sat down, and played along! ok...she didn't really play the right notes...but she pretended.

I wish you could've been here to see and hear her. Sooooo cute!

Cuter and Cuterer

What could be more cute than the new flowers I made and hung above Amelia's bed?

Well, the girl with the ponytail sleeping in the bed...that's what.
