Mickey's House

All of my students' portfolios were due today. So I spent yesterday at home putting them together and adding last minute changes, right? Well, actually, I blew off the responsible route and took Rosie to Disneyland to meet Erin, Lucy, Mimi, and Papa. Don't worry, I still got everything done after Rosie went to sleep last night. Oh, the sacrifices we make for The Mouse!


Rosie enjoyed watching Minnie from a safe distance.

Flagstaff Coming Soon!

At the beginning of March, we went to Flagstaff for a long weekend. My parents were there speaking at a conference in Flag. We drove out to spend time with Ron's brothers and their families, and visit the Grand Canyon with Mimi and Papa. Later that week Dave and Gayle and the kids came out for some sunny weather... we had a great time. Ron took all of the best pictures and I have not yet downloaded them. More to come!

I'm not the best blogger....

I'm really not that good at blogging. To be a good blogger, you need to be consistent. I am not. I write 3 blogs in one week and then go for a month or so without any updates. So, this is one of those weeks where I'll overload you with Eckerts! Sorry!

Many Different Hats

I've felt like I have been wearing several different hats these last few months, as I try to keep our little world from spinning completely out of control. Rosie's taking it all in stride by donning a few hats of her own. She's obsessed with wearing either her bike helmet.... or her little green ski hat.... all of the time. Keep in mind that it's generally 70 degrees where we live!

This really isn't a good picture, in that it doesn't do justice to just how much Rosie wears her hat. I'll post a better one soon!



The best part of the helmet head is hearing Rosie ask, "Bieeee?!" (translation: bike)

Lucy Sleeps Over!

This weekend we had Lucy over for a slumber party. The girls get to be together a lot, but this was Lucy's first night away from Erin and Simon. We had a great time!





Heather's well-deserved glass of Chardonnay after everyone was fed, bathed, snacked, read to, sung to, prayed for, and kissed ni-night.

The girls enjoyed Ron's famous pancakes for breakfast!
