A Week in P.V.

 

We spent a week in sunny Mexico that consisted of three (not so square) meals a day, several hours of beach time, a little pool activity, some seaside napping, multiple bottles of appropriate liquid per person,a little bargaining and foreign trade and we even managed to sneak in enough hours of slumber each night to get us through.
Turned out to be a really fun and easy trip.
Enjoy the pictures......

 

 

 

 

We had a party for Jie Jie's birthday on Saturday night. Meredith got all dressed up.

Baby Angus Calves

We had an opportunity to visit some newborn Angus calves yesterday. Since it was such a beautiful spring day here in the Rockies, we jumped at the chance! Meredith was so excited - besides the cats and dogs in her home and storybooks, cows are one of her favorites (plus "moo" is one of the few animal noises she can actually imitate). So we talked it up, drove up to the ranch and she ran to the barn. Once we got inside and she saw the size of Mama Cow, it was a whole different story! Even though the babies were about as tall as she is, it was still a bit intimidating and she preferred to stay by Mom or Dads side most of the time. Even so, it was a fun experience and I wouldn't rule out a future in ag - - she looks pretty comfortable beside that tractor, don't you think?

Isn't Everybody....................?!?!?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Music and Reading...... I Love it!

Eric seems to think that Meredith is a natural on the ivories. Hmm, What do you think, Grandpa?

I'm not sure that she is a prodigy, but she does enjoy it and we will certainly encourage her!

When Lindsay was little she loved the book "Caps For Sale" by Esphyr Slobodkina. So I was anxious to find a copy and read it to Meredith. Well, Meredith not only loves the story with the monkeys and all, but she loves to wear hats, as well. So last Sunday when she came into the kitchen looking like this, we knew right away that she was imitating the peddler in her and her sister's beloved book!! Too cute!
