Snow Day 2011

Every kid and teacher loves a snow day! Even though there has been about 50+ inches of snow in NYC this year, this was our first snow day. What a perfect day to stay home with Piper. Mommy is busy and tired and uncomfortable at the end of the pregnancy, but will be back on the blog soon with the arrival of baby girl in about 6 weeks! We promise!

Here's the backyard

Not sure if it drifted, but it is at least two feet high. Piper's pink lawn chair was sitting on the walkway and you can't even see it.

Some breakfast time with Daddy. Doesn't Kaizer look like a giant?!

Chocolate Chip Cookies...why not?!!

Yummmmm

Snow in the face...

The snow was perfect for packing and it wasn't too cold outside.

I'm gonna get you Mommy!

An ice cream treat after Piper's first poop in the potty a few days after we started potty training. She hasn't got one in since, but we will get there soon!

Packers/Vikings game. Piper is sharing her blankie with Bella, Mike and Bindu's dog.

Reading with Bindu

Happy guests and happy dogs

Snuggle buddies

This is what you get after taking out two of Syble's tight braids. I could not stop laughing at Piper when I looked at her and I think you can tell by her expression that she is no longer amused. This looks eerily close to my (Sarah's) 3rd or 4th grade school picture back in the 80's.

Thanksgiving morning. Piper almost didn't give up the new "baby bed" to actually cook the turkey.

Pregnancy pillows aren't just for pregnant ladies at our house.

Piper loves to sit in her "nest" when she's on our bed.

I'm 27 weeks and counting. We will get some good belly pictures up soon. Happy Holidays!

Halloween 2010

Piper's 3rd Halloween. Here are the highlights...

Pumpkin carving

Spooky!

The cutest, most precious Elmo in all of Brooklyn

Heading to the party

Piper and mermaid Marley

Piper's not playing here. She's just trying to sneak potato chips off the counter.

The April crew...still going strong.

No candy for me, just chocolate cupcakes please.

Heading to the parade

How's that for a matching profile

Piper & Grandma's song

On Grandma's birthday Piper and Grandma Nichols perform a song they made up together earlier that day.



Those lyrics would be:

"I'm getting ready for the ocean;
Ding dong the kite is in the sky;
I ate the hot dog!
I ate some chicken!
Now get me to the train on time."

Picnic

Brooklyn Bridge Park

We spent a nice, warm October day at the Brooklyn Bridge Park. Piper's friend Henry joined her for some fun.

Enjoying a juicy apple

Soaking in the sun

Rolling with Dadddy

Loving to be upside down

This picture reminds me of a vintage picture or postcard

Looking for the ducks...who are hiding

This is my little girl
