Gifts are always popular...

Since I survived Toddler Tantrum Deluxe from 4pm-6pm, I decided to go ahead and share some of the better memories from today. Lexi received a new sweater that was hand-knitted from Bestemor (Tim's mom) and wore it to daycare today.




She also received a (very timely) Valentine's Day Package from Grammy & Grandpa which was not going to be left unopened until Saturday! So, here is a pic and video clip of the happy portion of the evening.

Snow, snow and snow

Well, we've had snow on the ground since last Wednesday and I must confess that I have done a terrible job at taking pictures. It isn't much snow, but it is so gorgeous when everything is covered in white. Yesterday (Sunday) and today were two gorgeous days with blue skies, sunshine and crispy cold temps (barely below freezing).

Lexi received a new sled for Christmas from Bestemor (Tim's mom) and she was so excited when I pulled it out of the car last Wednesday morning and pulled her up to her classroom at the International Daycare. Despite the earlier battle with which boots and socks she was wearing for the day, it was all smiles and laughter on the way from the parking lot to the classroom.

These first two pics were taken that evening after returning home from work/daycare. We (of course) had to take a quick stroll around the block. ("Mamma pull!")






This picture was taken today when I picked her up from daycare. I really don't know why I was getting the funny face, she was all giggles to ride the sled to the car.



This last picture was taken this evening. We were dashing to make it to a Women's Event at my church and the moon was absolutely gorgeous on the horizon. I did the American thing and stuck my head and camera out of the car window to take the pic :) I'm sure I could have done the moon justice with some proper time and settings on my camera...

Girls Weekend in Tallinn, Estonia

Ok - this isn't exactly Lexi related, but I figure that my girls weekend to Tallinn gives me a refreshed energy to be a mom to Lexi.

Five girlfriends and myself just spend a wonderful long weekend (Fri-Sun) in Tallinn, Estonia. We divided our time between spa treatments at the spa hotel we stayed at and a little sightseeing and some meals at wonderful cafes and restaurants with such amazing atmosphere and ambiance!
