Annika

Annika seems to like things on top of her head.  Except when I try to put a headband on!  Here are some funny pics we have captured of our silly little girl.  

Tea Party with her friend

So, in our infinite wisdom as first time parents, decided that if we were to buy Annika doll toys, we had to by sturdy stuff, since she likes to climb and jump.  Turns out, we were right. Monica and I were sitting watching TV one afternoon, and Annika started bringing in her toy high chair, baby, plates, cups, the toy stroller, and set them up on the coffee table, then proceeded to divide up her snack with her baby and sat in the stroller, enjoying her little lunch date. 

Mother's Day

Mother's Day started off with us walking in the Mother's Day 5K.  It was a beautiful morning and the walk was great!  This is the third year we have walked and we will continue walking as long as they have the race.  After the race we had lunch with Derek's family, went home for a quick nap, then headed down to the muesum to play around.  They have these huge shuttlecocks on the front lawn of the muesum that Annika ran straight to.  She found a mud puddle and loved playing in that.  Good thing she didn't have shoes or socks on!  We played chase and hide and seek.  We ended the day by playing in the grass  Overall it was a great day!
