GREAT News!!!

Last night, Brian spoke to his best friend Jeff and found out that he and his wife Katie are expecting their first baby at the end of September! We are so happy for them!! Congratulations!!

Sleepyhead

Georgia has the sniffles and decided to take a nap on the couch today.

Just a cute picture

Karen asked if we had any pictures of Georgia reading books (for a photo contest at a bookstore in Wilmington). We did not have any so I took this one last week.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Georgia!

We celebrated Georgia's 2nd birthday this past Saturday and had a great time. Thanks to all who shared the evening with us!

Extra-special thanks to Tante Karen for hosting so graciously and cooking a delicious dinner!! Georgia enjoyed your "yummy" lasagna and garlic bread!

Basket Case

Stacy and I attended a basket weaving class last night (and the previous Wednesday). Here is my end result. It is far from perfect, but I had a good time with Stacy and managed to finish the basket without throwing it across the room, which is quite an accomplishment for me. Stacy weaved some blue throughout her basket and it looks really pretty.

Helmet Head

Georgia received a bike helmet from her Aunt Kathy and Uncle Danny last week. Here she is trying it on.

Best Dressed: And the Oscar goes to...

Look no further than Georgia! She is ready to party!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Georgia! (Early)

Georgia received an early birthday present from us this weekend - a tricycle! She is still figuring out how it works, but all of her stuffed animals/toys/dolls have taken it for a spin! It is a pretty sweet bike with streamers and a bell! All we need now is a basket for Elmo (and a helmet, of course) and she will be ready to roll!

Georgia with Tante and Nicolas

Saturday night we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Urban's house for dinner. Karen's Godchild, Nicolas (5 years old), was visiting from Cleveland for the weekend. Georgia loved playing with Nicolas and Tante Karen!

Fashion Show

It may be cold outside, but Georgia is getting ready for spring. She wore her spring dresses and danced her way down the runway (our bed) in style!

Good Morning, Georgia!

Georgia has decided that she no longer likes her footie pajamas so she takes them off sometime after going to bed and getting up the next morning. This photo is of her reaction when I went to get her up on Tuesday morning.

Pumping Iron

Hello, Old Friend!!

On Saturday, we took Georgia to a children's bookstore in Oakely (http://www.bluemanateebooks.com/) so she could meet Corduroy, the bear from the popular children's book. It took her a few minutes to warm up to him, but, as you can see from the photo, she was happy to give him a big hug!

Yes, Georgia has a mother.

Where's Georgia?

That's right - in the cupboard.

Saturday Morning 'Toons

Georgia loves the Backyardigans! Here she is cuddling with Tyrone, Uniqua and Pablo (and Daddy, of course!) as she watches the show on Saturday morning.

Happy New Year!!

We hope you had a safe and happy new years celebration. We spent the evening at home relaxing after a fun afternoon in Columbus with Brian’s parents and brother. Predictably, Georgia snoozed her way into 2006!

Perhaps inspired by the Buckeyes' big win last night (G-o-o-o-o-o-o-o Bucks!!), I decided to actually cook Georgia’s lunch, instead of simply assembling her usual PB&J or grilled cheese sandwiches! I made homemade macaroni and cheese; she is really doing well using a fork and spoon! Here are some photos of her enjoying her lunch. Imagine her saying, “Mmm…yummy!”























Speaking of the Buckeyes' win, we went down to the Burgoon's house to watch the game and eat lots of great food (never a shortage of that at Stacy's parties! Yum!). Stacy has posted a couple photos from the party. Take a look! Her blog is always worth looking at because her kids at so sweet! http://burgoonfamily.blogspot.com/

"It's a puppy!!"

Tante Karen is dog-sitting over her holiday break and came over with her charge - Parker. Parker is a black lab/Australian shepherd mix. Auntie Kathy and Uncle Danny also brought over her old pal Buddy. Georgia pointed at both dogs and said, over and over, "It's a puppy!"

Well, Christmas is over and Georgia had a great time! Thanks to everyone for the generous gifts and good times. Here is a Christmas Day photo of G with her Supernana.

Tea time!!

Georgia received a tea set from the Burgoons and she loves it! Here she is having a party.
