Rain, Rain, Go Away

How does the weather know when you have outdoor plans? Sue and Steve are down here to help landscape the backyard, but we haven't been able to do much. We had hoped to finish the playground today, but as you can see, the weather didn't cooperate. We are having rock delivered on Friday and I hope the big trucks don't get stuck in the mud!
Here is Savannah showing off her "beautiful centerpiece". She learned that from Max and Ruby. It's amazing what she learns from TV. By the way, she can now pronounce her name correctly - no more Sasannah.
And here is the little angel sleeping with her bear. How can she be so sweet while sleeping and such a nightmare when awake?! Everything I tried to feed her today she would push away and say "Yuck!" Everything except strawberries, smarties and cheetos. Somebody help me!

I'll leave you with another sweet Savannah moment as Jer was leaving for work:

"Daddy aren't you forgetting something? My hug."

Big Girl

On Sunday, Jeremy assembled Savannah's big girl bed and last night she slept in it all night! That was the first time she has slept in her own room all night since we moved here! Maybe we should have given her a big girl bed a long time ago. As I type this she is already sound asleep which is crazy for her. What will I do all night??

Yesterday we drove to St. George to visit with Sherie and the kids. Savannah wasn't very social and went shopping with us instead of playing with the kids. She saw these hearts and asked me to take her picture with them, so I did. Today she asked me to take a picture of her by the paper towels at Costco, but I told her no. I don't know why she suddenly wants her picture taken, but it's nice that she poses willingly, even though she hasn't gotten the smile down yet;)

One more memory before I go.

Jeremy: "Pick it up before Dad gets mad."

Savannah: "Don't get mad, get glad."

Let's try a new approach

Okay, so I am a big FAT slacker! Admitting it is half the battle, right? I have decided to try to follow Becky Higgins advice and take a picture of the day (and maybe post it if I remember). It will be just a reminder of what happened that day with a thought to accompany it.

First, I am going to throw a picture in from the 6th just so I will remember how silly Savannah is. She nearly emptied the pantry going grocery shopping, then lined it all up on the kitchen floor. It kept her busy for at least an hour. Look how nice and evenly spaced the items are. Perhaps she did get something from me!

This is todays picture of the day. We hung up some raingutter shelves in the toyroom tonight and Savannah said, "You are a awesome driller Daddy." Such a sweet girl!

I really am going to try to follow my picture of the day plan. Wish me luck!
