VA Winegars

We said goodbye to binky on Wednesday. It was an accident, really. It disappeared. We couldn't find it anywhere, and I LOOKED. This is the last picture of binky in action, taken Wednesday afternoon. She likes to turn on the space heater (that tall black thing) and sit in front of it until her cheeks turn pink. Don't worry, it never gets hot to the touch, just blows warm air.

Per Mom's request:

Sometimes she plays with her hands and sometimes she plays with her feet. This was a feet day. I really love this toy.

(Ange and Heidi: Made by a French company called Kaloo; called: "l'Arche d'activites." Got it at a little boutique toy store here, but might be able to find it online.)

Today we blessed Virginia. We missed our family that couldn't be here. The day was beautiful--75 degrees and sunny, so we ate outside. Well, everyone ate outside but Savannah and her friend Alyssa. They ate out in Savannah's house. They said it was too hot in the sun and needed to go "in." It was awesome. Great day.

Went to lunch with our friends. (I always thought that once I wasn't working anymore that I would go to lunch on a regular basis. This was the third time...in two years.)

The French can take credit for a few things that I really love:

- Brie

- Baguettes

- Nutella & bannana crepes

-This baby toy that is my dream come true

It's the only way.

"Here Mom, we just need boxes on our heads to keep our hair out of the food."

Me: Could you please get a toy for V to play with?

"Doesn't this look like a celebrity paparazzi shot? She really was saying, "No camera, please!"
