Happy Birthday Grandma Sue and Pigtails!

This Wednesday was Grandma Sue's Birthday! She turned 39! Yay Birthdays! Daddy missed the party but Danae told him all about it.

We have had a busy week! We have been packing (this may be the last blog until we get settled) and Mommy has been cleaning the house.

We would also like to thank eveyone for watching our movies! Now, if you google "Danae Marie", the first choice is one of her movies!

We stepped on our own shades and broke them, so now we have to borrow Daddy's. We still look pretty cool though.

Pigtails!

Sometimes we play with the kids outside. Everyone is much older though, and they are very fast...


I know this one is long, but I love how she gets into it.

Money, Crayons and Outside

Our favorite thing is now to dump out the coin jar in Mommy and Daddy's room and play with the coins while Daddy frantically tries to wrangle them. It's fun. I acted like I was pulling a penny out of her ear one time, and nows she listens to every penny!

Our second favorite thing is coloring. Eight colors of washable wonderfulness. We move from the paper (ideal) to the window (ok...cool...) to the cat door (ummm...) to the entertainment center (wait a minute!) to the T.V. (not cool!).

Third favorite thing? Going outside. We will drop pretty much anything to put on our shoes and little flower hat. Daddy doesn't know how well this will work in December or January.

Another in a series of Daddy and Danae pictures

This is the earliest one I could find from Aunty Jen's and Uncle Rusty's engagement party. She has made friends with the camera since.

These are experiments in letting Danae take movies. Daddy feels that she is an avante garde voice of the new american cinema. Daddy also feels she has excellent use of plot and theme.

Happy Birthday to Aunty Cat! She turned, like, 19 on Thursday.

She is doing very well, and we should be meeting little Phoenix on the 24th! Yay Babies!

Cleanin' Up The Hizzy

Mommy and Danae have been cleaning up the new house almost everyday. Aunty Jen was excited and thrilled to come and help...

... until the paint fumes drove her insane!

Danae , as noted, has been a champ with the drive there and back.

When we need a break, we head over to Aunty Jen's house and mess with her dog!

First we find the cell phone...

Then we make the dog talk on it....

Then we make him eat it! "Yummy, puppy!".

No new movies this week, but we'll make it up next week. Promise!

Words, Driving, and More Words!

This week we have started to say words in earnest! We say "happy" and "peace". We still mangle the word "banana" though. It sounds more like "meng".

We also fell asleep in our chicken this week. We woke up at 6:45 and by lunchtime we were whipped.

We have been driving to Port Huron almost everyday (45 minutes one way). We have been a trooper about it though.

When we went to pick up the keys for the house, we met the previous owner's previous neighbors. There were kids of all ages and we tried to hug all of them. Most of them (the 2-year-old and the 4-year-old in particular) had no idea what to make of our hugs, but the one year old loved us! Especially when we took his sucky out of his mouth an tried to put it in his eye!
