We were very sad that our fish named "Dog" passed away Sunday. Samuel had changed his water earlier in the week and we guess he just got too stressed out and never made a full recovery. I guess we should all take a lesson from Dog about getting too stressed out!!! We will miss Dog and will probably soon buy another "dog" to replace him. Dog was a birthday gift from Mimi (Mrs. Peggy), NaNa and the girls.
Other than our loss, we had a great weekend! Friday night Gran and Papaw came to hang with Anna Claire so that Sam and I could go out to dinner for my birthday! We went to Bravo, which is a favorite of mine. Is it sad that when we finally get some adult conversation, all we can talk about is how cute Anna is?
Gran and Papaw brought Anna Claire her toy box that was made for her by a man in their church. It is beautiful. She is so funny. As soon as they came in with it, she wanted to sit on it. Like my Mom said, she just knew it was for her. It was Christmas come early for her, because she also got a new car that Daddy can pull her in for our walks around the neighborhood, a sit-n-spin thingy, and some just-her-size lawn furniture.
When my Mother saw this picture, she said that is how Mema (her Mother) used to sit. She does kind of remind me of Mema here!
Saturday we just enjoyed having Gran and Papaw around. Anna Claire is very taken with Papaw. She wants to sit in his lap and love on him whenever he is around. I think they are "on the same level" and this is why they are so connected! Anna Claire was very upset when Gran and Papaw left. My mom said she was ready for that day, but when it happened, she felt really bad they had to leave her reaching out her arms and crying. You'll notice there are no pictures with Gran in them because she runs from the camera!
Sunday we went to church and then a fun trip to Wal-mart before getting in our pool. Daddy would not get in, despite my pleadings that I get whatever I want when it's my birthday. He really doesn't buy into that. Anna Claire and I enjoyed a little sunshine! Anna Claire looked very cute in her polka dot swim suit that Aunt JuJu gave her!
This is her new toothbrush, that she thinks is a toy. She hung on to it with a death grip. Note to self, boil new toothbrush!
Beautiful artwork on the pool thanks to Crayola bath time crayons! These crayons continue to be a hit. We have had no more problems with bath time since I bought them! By the way, this is the color purple, which Anna Claire can identify and say very clearly!!!
The child loves some bread. She will walk into the kitchen and point and say "bread, bread, bread" until she gets a piece. Tonight she asked for bread and I tried to give her one of the last pieces from a loaf. She would not have it. She kept pointing to the new loaf and would not stop crying until I gave her a piece from the new loaf. What is that about? Picky, much? While I'm on her eating habits, she has also picked out what she wanted to eat the last two nights for dinner. I usually just give her whatever Sam and I are eating, but last night she went to the fridge and picked out some leftovers and ate every bite. Tonight, when I got in the pantry to get something, she picked out some mini ravioli and that she was all she would eat. I'm not sure if I'm ready for all this!!!
Funny face... in her "wing"!
Just Molly, hangin' out...
The best place for her to be when I am cooking dinner, right where I can see her...
My Mom and I did some shopping Saturday and Anna Claire desperately needed a nap. This is where I found her when I came home. They are pretty sweet, aren't they?
This bow stayed in her hair for about twenty minutes, which we thought was a record, but she did actually keep it in the whole church service Sunday. I wish she would get used to keeping it in. It looks so pretty and is necessary to pull back all that crazy hair! Notice my Mother hiding behind the pillow...
A few other cute ones...
So many people have asked me if I had a good birthday. Well, I really did, because I was surrounded by family and lots of love. Who could ask for more? Samuel is the best husband in the world, we have a perfect baby girl and incredible family. I'm a pretty lucky girl.
