OK, now for last weekend's review.

It was sometime this last weekend (Friday evening?) Georgia mastered sitting up on her own from a scoot/crawl position. In the photo above she is showing off that accomplishment. She is completely unstoppable. 100% mobile. And she's smart and determined to boot. I keep Normy's Mr. Potato Head collection in a giant bin inside a cabinet under our window-seat. Well, she's decided those are her favorite toys despite the fact that Normy and I both would much prefer she leave them alone. If given half a chance she will craw to the cabinet, open it, and dump out all the pieces. She's also fairly obsessed with door stops.


In other news: Normy continues to be a delightful and adorable toddler. 
See image below: 
Well, most of the time.

These days he's into photography, mostly self-portraiture.

...and foot-wear.

Sunday was the highlight of our weekend. It featured a trip to our neighborhood play-ground.


After we had built up our appetite, we came home and grilled with our favorite neighbors. Fresh baked bread, green beans from the farmer's market, three berry pie with homemade crust, and of course some libations.

But the pièce de résistance...
Oh yea, this is life in the midwest!
*Steaks courtesy of Mama T! Thanks, they rocked!

You might be wondering how we entertained the children in order to prepare so much food? 


So, if the tins your Christmas cookies arrive in have a few dings in them, you'll know where they came from!

I love the picture of Normy with Jacob on the swing. There is just so much love. The steaks were fabulous. We had C and S over for Mr. Moogie's birthday dinner and had steaks and green beens as well. Sounds as though you had a wonderful time.

Oh those kids are cute! Jacob looks like such a little man now and I can see will be a musician specializing in drums. And the little lady is the show stopper right now for sure. I hope your dinner was yummy, it sure did sound good! And whoa what steaks! Those things must of costed $15 a piece - ahh the power of beef and beer. :-) Love it!
