Yeah, so I post pictures of the children and you all comment like crazy. Then, I tell you that my precious girlie has unleashed her heretofore untapped power of speech upon me and all I get is ONE (charming, sweet and well-deserved) comment? C'mon people. I s'pose you won't be interested in the fact that her vocabulary has now grown and my Sweetpea now graces us with such words as "Papa" (which she uses for Aaron and occasionally calls Punk), "Brah-rah" (which she occasionally calls Punk), "BayBee" (repeating Punk calling her such). Nor, I suppose, will you be impressed that I'm dusting off my old "Baby Signs" and teaching her "please", "more", and "thank you." Hmmph. I suppose you'll only be satisfied if I post more photos. Well, fine, have it your way then! My toddler girl and I can cop an attitude with the best of them.



First of all, since you people are so hard to please, I managed to get some pictures of the children playing (that's a relative term where Pea is concerned, as you shall see) in the snow. Pictures where the snow is obvious for those of you with small imaginations. Hmmmph.

Punk, obviously, totally loves the snow. Pea, on the other hand, not so much.
Do take note of the extremely adorable pink-boots-with-ladybugs that sweet Denise sent Pea for a "virtual baby shower" gift. Aren't they too much?!

Anywho...I learned that having so much fun in the winter wonderland that is northern Wisconsin can really tire out a little Liberian. I ushered the girlie inside to hang with Dadders in the office while Punky still wanted to play outside with me. A short while later, I'd had enough and came in to find this...

And, in true America's Next Top Model form, the close-up...

So, then another day, we were all playing on the bed (because there's not a lot of places to play in a two-room apartment). And, it looked like this...

You can hardly tell that one of us used to be an orphan and has only been in the fam for less than 3 weeks, huh?

And finally, I have a picture of Pea in the darling romper Tami sent me! Isn't it too sweet?! It's from the Product(Red) line that helps battle HIV/AIDS in Africa. I just love it--and all the more because it's from my dear friend back in Boise. Now, quick, let's change the subject before I get too homesick!

Oh, I forgot. Since that was the final picture, I can't change the subject. Guess I'll just have to indulge in a little homesickness for one night.
