Michael Phelps Ain't Got Nothin'!

We took Pookers swimming for the first time at the Westminster Rec Center on Saturday, November 29. She loved it! If she is going to be a successful river rat like mom and dad, she'll need lots of practice in the water. We'll save the dunking and slide for next time. Thanks to Aunt Di and Uncle George for the swimsuit (amazingly enough, the 18 mos. size fit decently!)

Gobble Gobble Gobble!

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Mom and Tom's in Loveland along with the Davis', Jeff and Courtney and Coreen. Maryn tried her first turkey and "triptophaned" big time!

Maryn and her papa

It's not Christmas yet! Maryn was spoiled earlier with a few gifts from Courtney, Coreen and Penny. She got the idea (tearing off the paper) pretty quickly. (New green hat on the head turns into a lizard/dinosaur puppet!)

What a cute grandma/daughter couple.

Marmar and her ole' cuz Molly "Gizzard".

Grandma, when's the turkey going to be ready?

Teaching her young, Grandpa Jeff?

A Visit to the Butterfly Pavilion

Maryn's first visit to the Butterfly Pavilion proved to be exciting both for her and mom. It was very enlightening watching her observe her new surroundings; she was awed by the consistant magical fluttering that surrounded us.

Blowing kisses to the camera or a butterfly?

"Wow, mom, a real butterfly!"

Grandma Mary Visits

Mary spent a wonderful long weekend with us, enjoying the endless entertainment of Maryn. While visiting, Maryn learned how to "shimmy" (her signature dance move) as well as click in unison with Grandma. What fun!

Lunch at Rock Bottom rules!

You got nothin' on my "eewwww" face!
