Playing

At Aliyah and Kya's birthday I took a picture of Ivy with her Great Grandparents. She is so happy to see them. I am so glad when they come into town when she can see them as they live in Arizona and don't get to see her very often except via this blog.


Here are some pictures of her playing in a new outfit. She would climb onto her chair and sit and read a book. It was so cute.



More playing...


Here she is on daddy's shoulders for the first time.

Dad is home

As many of you know Greg has been working crazy hours lately. He usually is getting home after midnight now. Some nights I can stay up, but most I am asleep. Today his boss sent out a mail that said everyone needed to leave by 5pm and go spend some time with their families. I was so excited. He was home for a real dinner and I even made dessert.

Here are some pictures of him and ivy playing on the computer. Greg was showing her this website which Ivy and I play on often. www.starfall.com

Training for Roller Coasters

Our new fun game is to drive on the freeway going 60+ and roll all the windows down. The wind blowing in our faces and hair everywhere. (I have much more hair then Ivy so this isn't the fun part) I say....Weeeeeee, Then Ivy puts her hands in the air and says Weeeeeee. She waves her arms around, blinks alot cause of the wind and smiles from ear to ear. I wish I had a video I could share but remember I am driving and that would be unsafe. :)

Update

Due to finances we will not be going to Bora Bora next year. :( But, we are thinking about going to Kauai....Has anyone ever gone? If so, I would love to talk to you about your trip. What did you like, where did you stay, what didn't you like....

On another note: Natasha Dulcinea Covi was born yesterday at 4:02am. She is 7lbs and 19.5 inches long. What a cutie. :) Here are some pictures of Ivy and I meeting her at the hospital.

What will they be scared of?

Each child is different and at different times in their life they are scared of different things....

Ivy is not scared of the vacuum cleaner but scared of the electric screwdriver. She is also not scared of the lawn mower, as she sat happily and played for over an hour yesterday while I mowed the front and most of the back yard. But, I put on gardening gloves to move a few rocks and she had a melt down. Big alligator tears and all.

She always seems to amaze me at what she likes and doesn't like from day to day. :)
