What we've been up to...


Last week, Rowan got to spend a day at Grandma & Grandpa Allord's house. If you ask Rowan, everything there belongs to Grandma and she just lets Grandpa use it. Grandma helped Rowan create necklaces using a kit. She made a necklace for herself, mommy and Harvey.

Last Saturday, we drove down to Highland, IN for my grandmother's 85th birthday party. There were a lot of people there that I hadn't seen in a long time.

It was nothing short of a miracle that we got this photo of all the great-grandchildren and none of them were crying. Only little Billy (in the background) was too antsy to sit.

Of the grandkids that were there, we got most of them in a shot. Some were unable to come to the party and couple didn't make the shot because they were tending to babies.

Here is Grandma Allord with Ursula.
It was a good thing we brought a few outfits for Ursula.
This was dress number 2.

Our family photo.

Sleepy baby.
She fell asleep on the floor one day.

Harvey likes playing with "his" doll once in a while.
Rowan gave him one of her dolls (the doll she got when he was born - that used to talk). Rowan prefers to play with the doll that has eyes that open & close.

Bein' silly.
Rowan is hiding from the camera.
After I took this she wanted to see the
preview screen right away.

Today we opened up the bag of "dress up" clothes we received from Aunt Julie. Both kids were thrilled at everything that was in there. At one point, Harvey had on about 6 leis and 4 other necklaces, bunny ears and sunglasses.
Rowan really likes all the princess wear, high heel shoes and purses.
And the butterfly wings were a must with both kids.
I still can't get them to take them off.

Inspector Harvey looks for a clue.
