Almost Three

Kate and Dad at the National Zoo

Kate (as she told us) "going to work so I can pay my bills."




Kate and her baby "Alulia" - no idea where she came up with that name.

There is no such thing as a chocolate chip cookie that is too big.

As Kate nears three years old (!), she continues to amuse us with her strong opinions and (probably unintentionally) funny comments.

For example, I picked her up from school last week and her teacher told me that she had invited all of her class and all the teachers to her house for her birthday party and to listen to "party music." I found this to be both funny and potentially embarrassing considering the fact that she appears to be planning her own party and I guess this means that now we will be hosting a party for her whole preschool class.

When I asked her what she meant by "party music," her reply was, "You know, like the ones on the computer and this one: "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Kate!"

We've had a pretty busy spring so far. Grandma Marsiglia came to visit and Kate was really sad to see her (and all her undivided attention) go. I felt really sad when a few days after she left, Kate wanted to show Grandma something and I told her that we wouldn't be seeing Grandma again for a while. Kate then said "Why not? Can't we see her on Skype?" :)

Spring!


On the playground at Wheaton Regional Park - Kate insists on wearing these sunglasses at all times.

Blowing bubbles...



Even though today is rainy, last weekend was warm and beautiful and we got to spend some much-needed time outside. I am so happy that it is finally spring!
