Loose Ends

We're about to leave to pick Grandma up at the airport, so I thought I'd get us up to date on the blog before starting a weekend of photo ops. Here is Georgia, after school on the day when she was supposed to dress "mismatched." So she wore her Belle costume over her purple dress. Natch.
More on her load of toys.

A little Sophie love.

Georgiaisms

This morning when she got out of bed, Georgia said, "I'm getting married!"

I asked her who she was marrying and she said, "Just me." She also said she will wear a purple dress.

Later, before leaving for school with daddy and Sophie, I asked her what it means to be married. She said, "It means you be nice."

Sophie's Suit

Here is Sophie in her fuzzy-warm suit from Aunt Ruby in Missouri. She was the talk of church in her adorable outfit - particularly because she was dressed appropriately for a chilly day that started off with actual snow on the ground.

Slumber Party Again!

Georgia enjoyed a lovely slumber party at Henry's on Saturday night. She actually arrived in time for nap that afternoon. Here's his mom's text about her wake up: "Told Henry to go in quietly and gently see if Georgia was awake. He goes in, throws open the curtains and says, not in the most gentle way, 'Georgia your face is all red!' Nice."

After nap, they bundled into the wagon for a nature walk!

Here is Georgia, wearing Henry's old frog boots. These boots are EXACTLY like the frog boots I bought her, the ones she has never once been willing to wear outside of the house.

The next morning they had pancakes and G got a morning hug.

One story from that night (I'm probably getting some of this wrong):

Henry: Georgia, where are your trucks?

Georgia: I don't have trucks, I have princesses.

Daddy's Big Birthday

Daddy celebrated his 40th birthday on Saturday, but due to location issues, our family celebration was tabled until Sunday. Georgia was thrilled with the cake options.
Bathtime was necessary last night.
She also was quite gracious when it came time for daddy to open his gifts.
A few weeks ago I asked G what she wanted to get daddy for his birthday. Without hesitation, she said, "A fireman's hat." That was the end of the discussion.
Daddy was touched by the faith she had in him.
He also wore the hat around the house, like a good fireman should.

Morning Calisthenics

G and Daddy Baseball Preview

Georgia and Daddy left the house early early today (even though it is his birthday!) so they could bid on dates for baseball tickets this season. Georgia has done this in the past, but wow was she excited this time! They had French toast and got all the games they wanted. G will attend her first one a week from Sunday - so stay tuned for more happy photos!
