Annah and Mother

Annah spelling Mississippi

After a couple months of practice Annah can finally spell 'Mississippi.' She was having a bit of difficultly getting the "i's" and the "pp's" mixed up.

Snow Angel

Took Annah for a walk to Homecroft in the sled this morning, she made a snow angel and we walked home.  

Annah's Doctor

Annah's doctor was featured in an ad in the local paper this week.

Sleeping in the car

Annah had a long weekend riding in the the car to Fond du Lac and back.  She was pretty good but that kind of travel can wear on a girl after a while.

Annah in her Element

Here's Annah with her pbskids.org and her sparkling Welch's juice.  Ahhh life is good.

Bloomington Fire Department

Saturday afternoon we went to tour the Bloomington Fire Department Station 3.  Maya's Jujitsu instructor Steve gave a talk to the kids and let them see the fire trucks.  Annah thought it was pretty cool.

At Hibatchi Buffett

Annah and mother after lunch at Hibatchi  Buffett.  Annah seems to no longer know where to look when getting her picture taken. 

Posing

Thursday night I took Annah along to Maya's judo practice so mother could have some much needed alone time. 

Halloween

If the first day of school wasn't enough to make this the greatest day ever for Annah it was also Halloween and she came home with quite the haul.

First day of pre-school

It was off to school for Annah today.  She had a great time and they worked on writing the letter E, she can't wait to get back on Friday.

Princess

Annah and her friends attended the Horace Mann BooBash tonight.  Just a couple of Princesses out on the town.

Annah on her trip

Coming to terms with her fear of flying.

Coming to terms with her fear of trains.

Ultimately, like Pete the cat says, "It's all good."

Ready for their trip

The Big Giant Rabbit

Went for a bike ride this afternoon to see the big giant rabbit.  It was hot, and the rabbit is made of metal, which made him a little hot to climb on, but that didn't stop Annah.

Where we went

New Camera

Had to try out the camera on my new phone so I picked my favorite subject.  It works.

At the pool

Annah went swimming today to try and beat the heat.

Hawkins Hawkeye

Here Annah is wearing her vintage Hawkins Hawkeye wear.  It looked good in the early eighties and it looks good today. 

At the bike race

Annah & Mud

This afternoon after the thunderstorms rolled through Annah I headed out for a ride.  Unfortunately there were a lot of puddles and Annah was getting splashed with muddy water and was none too happy about it.  She was so upset she even refused to smile for a picture.

Where we went:

Early child screening

This morning Annah went for her early child screening and it turns out she is Saint Paul Public School material.

Minneapolis

It's April 25th today and neither Minneapolis or Saint Paul Parks Departments have turned on the water fountains.  They did however return the handle back onto the pump in Minneapolis, which was awfully kind of them.
