my sister and niece came up for a visit this thursday thru sunday! it was fabulous to have them around. we did a lot of hanging around the house and playing with toys. but we also ventured outside of the house to explore the town, see a dog show, go consignment shopping and hear some stories read.

the story and song hour was at the eric carle museum of picture book art, a place i adore. after the books were read, we wandered around the exhibits. landry fell in love with this picture:

and we played with paper in the art room:

where she grabbed a piece of blue paper and carried it around for quite some time.

she was willing to trade the paper for a very hungry caterpillar, which she hung onto for most of the rest of the visit:

she did put it down for a few minutes to play with some yarn, though:

that’s my girl.

Hi Tina, nice bloggage!

I love that picture of her considering the ballband–she’s all “I wonder how many yards this is?”

she is going to kill me for her hair. ugh. such a mullet

…..we’re taking care of it this weekend. and by taking care of it i mean forgetting to take her to get it cut. ha :p

first hair cut? wow! that’s big!

oh my gosh! she got so big!! and so cute!
