Simple Pleasures

Sometimes it is the simple things that make us the happiest. If you don't believe me, spend some time with a two year old. This morning while we were getting ready Annslee was hanging out on our bed reading. Gabby decided to join her and the fun began. She really wanted Gabby to read her own book but alas her paws couldn't hold onto it so Annslee decided it was best to read to her. They had a great time and I think they would have stayed there for hours but Gabby had to go outside and Annslee had to go to school.

One of her new favorite things for dinner is tomato soup. She will not eat the Dora or the Goldfish kind because she is not interested in the pasta and insists on soup only please. As we know tomato soup will really stain a shirt so we went without. She refuses the booster seat anymore but luckily she is good with a spoon so she ate more than she wore.



I was looking for something in my photo album and so here is a blast from the past. I think they speak to the title of this post and besides I just think they are really cute.
We had a reunion in July with our Hubei families and Mark was already in Chicago so we girls were coming up on our own to meet up with the group. I won't go into all the details of our airport nightmares (you can go to the post in July to see that) but suffice it to say we were in airports for some long hours waiting for our flight. So, I had to occupy a then 21 month old. Hey, how about the moving walkways...she had a blast!
