our lucky day

today was our lucky st. patrick's day

it started out unlucky because when we started
out on our walk, tia dropped her new green apple. she decided she could go on, so we set out to enjoy the day.

it is becoming spring; we saw some nature!




we found a shortcut to the museums, now it only takes 5 minutes to get there! our luck was changing!











we took teddy in his carrier. i thought he would cry for sure, but he slept and he was happy.
more good luck.










tia made a friend and her friend's grandmother gave her a little necklace for st. patrick's day. at the museums, all of the kids were wearing green. it was pretty cute.









sunny day!


































happy st. patrick's day!

OUT!

Here in LA the weather is beautiful.

We wish you were here!

We have even made it out a few times. Whoo Hoo!
Here is beautiful Tia and her beautiful friend, Wiley.


Here is the moshpit at the Grove where they have kids' music concert and all of the little California kids come to dance and be seen.
Tia is in there somewhere.



Here is baby Theo, sleeping peacefully in his coat and hat that are way too hot and way too big. But, Mommy had to see him in them sometime.


Here is Tia being silly at the American Girl Place. We checked to see if they had a curly haired, crazy dancing, silly American Girl; they are still checking.





our cameras caught...

Miss Tia Magnolia sporting the new couture dress line at the doctor's office for her 3 year old appointment. She even makes this look good!

keeping busy

Teddy has been keeping us pretty busy the
past few days.

Usually, it goes like this. He is happy, but tired.






So, he goes to sleep after Mommy puts him down.




Then he realizes Mommy isn't holding him any more, so he goes about changing that.


We're back!!!


And, guess what?? Today, Teddy is 50 days old!!!!
