Paula's Shower!

You all have seen many pictures of Brady's best buddy, Louisa, but Cica's Mommy, Paula, has barely made it into any! Well, when we all got together and had a small shower for her last week, she was looking radiant, and I couldn't help myself. Paula is such a great friend to everyone, and we are really going to miss having friends like her close by when we get to Houston. Luckily, I have already planned my trip to Ottawa...next year, we are going to brave the winter weather to help extract maple syrup!

Anywho, I totally got off of the subject. The shower was fun, the kids were well-behaved, and Paula's baby-to-be gained some great new gear!

My Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades

There is possibly no one in this world cooler than our son. Who else can give that kind of look with Mickey shades on at age 22 months?

A Wonderful Visit from Nonni and Boo-boo

One of the wonderful things about having your mother and aunt visit is that they can spoil Brady all they want, and I don't have to feel guilty because I'm not the one doing the spoiling, but he still totally feels like he's getting away with everything! When we went to Muncheau, Germany, they immediately bought him a toy bus to play with, then taught him how to have a snowball fight. For once, he had a great time while we drug him around to do grown-up things! Brady was very sad to see them go!

And...I'm...Spent.

This was the scene at the end of a very long day in Disney that lead me to believe that maybe, JUST maybe, Brady wanted to go home. This is how it went down: We were walking, we were shopping, Brady stops, lays down face-first on the floor, rolls over to face us, and refuses to move. Hint taken, we had Brady on the train back to Paris only minutes after his little, tired protest!

When you wish upon a star...

... You wake up next to 2 wart hogs watching the Lion King show in EuroDisney. So, what do you do? Survey the situation, shrug, and start clapping along...what else would anyone do? Brady was actually able to nap while we were at the park, then he happily woke up to animals singing and dancing (some in costumes that were a little too tight to leave anything to the imagination). What else was there for him to do but join in the fun?! You gotta love such an easy-going kid.

Euro Disneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!

Who was more excited to be there, Brady or me? I honestly can't tell you. Nonni, Boo, Brady and I spent the day in EuroDisney, outside of Paris. It was cold, a little rainy, and AWESOME! Truth be told, I didn't really care for Disney world as a little girl, but taking your kid there is so much better! Brady was up for everything. We went on the teacups, and the faster we spun, the harder he giggled. The park was actually pretty crowded, but we managed to make it on to some of the best rides.

Oh, and one more thing....It's a small world after all...!

Now I got that song in your head! Ha ha ha!

Party Time in Paris!

When Brady got together with his Nonni and Aunt Boo boo in Paris, things got a little crazy, and he partied like a rock star. The obvious result....undies on the head...and over the pants. But in his defence, Brady was really excited about seeing his family AND the suitcase full of goodies that they brought him. By the time that the "Cars" underpants made it out, he just couldn't contain himself. These pics, of course, are being kept for our first meeting with his first girlfriend.
