Sell crazy somewhere else......

Today when I was running along the beach trail, everyone that I passed seemed to be laughing at me. I was confused... although I do tend to run like Phoebe from Friends. When I got home I realized why we were the laughing- stock of the road.... Rosie's little feet were sticking out from under the sunshade of the jogger and she was WEARING TWO DIFFERENT SHOES. Her little mismatched Mary Janes were the only thing that people could see as we passed by. This leads me to my next pondering.... is it that Rosie is SO brilliant at 15 months that she can put on her own shoes, or is it that I am SO crazy that I put 2 different shoes on my daughter's feet? Although she's bright, I do believe it is the latter.

Catch Up!

It has been too long since I posted new pictures. For those of you who await anxiously for new images of Little Munchkin, I apologize. We have had an eventful few weeks. She celebrated Halloween as a monkey. She was the cutest monkey you have ever seen. I chose the costume entirely based on the fact that since our Midwest trip, if asked, "Rosie, how about those monkeys?" She will waive her tiny little index finger at you and say, "NO NO!"
In a moment of car-riding-desperation (those of you with little ones know EXACTLY what I am talking about) Rosie's Mimi started saying the No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed rhyme.... and it really stuck! Needless to say, she just HAD to be a monkey this year. We enjoyed chili and cornbread and walked around the neighborhood together.... me as Minnesota and Ron as Dr. Dean Bordeaux, MD. We had a great time. Rosie trick-or treated at our friend's house... and clutched her little package of Starburst the whole way home. She did not get to eat it. Maybe next year.

Who dressed this kid?

Jackson Hole

At the beginning of the month, we had the opportunity to travel with our friends, Dylan and Catherine Wade, to Catherine's house in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We were all craving Fall weather with the perpetual Summer temps that we experience in San Clemente. What we got, however, was WINTER! It snowed like crazy for 2 full days. We had so much fun taking in the sights of Jackson, celebrating Catherine's birthday, enjoying the AMAZING Pisano lodge and even more amazing Pisano hospitality, reading, relaxing, and being together.

NOT a snow bunny!



We were all very comfortable!

Rosie enjoys incredible views from the bath!

The Little Pumpkin

Rosie visited a pumpkin patch and had a great time picking one to take home. There were all just about as big as she was, so Daddy had to carry hers. We also met a very nice kitty named Shadow.

More Midwest!

Rosie had so much fun visiting her cousins. She even got to take pictures with the handsome boys before Homecoming!

Big Girl!

We've graduated! We're on to forward-facing carseats with holders for sippy cups and snacks!




Here are some fun ones of Rosie and Ron in their Minnesota Gophers gear!
