I love her little voice.

Cute little thing.

Conversations Over Dinner

Here is a video I took a few weeks ago of Molly eating her dinner. She is getting really good at using a spoon and fork, although when she is in a hurry she will ditch them for her hands.

Visit from the Wells

A few weeks ago we had a special last minute visit from my parents and my sister. It was just what the Dr. ordered and we had a great time. Mike and I are extremely lucky to come from such great families and nothing makes me feel happier than when they visit. I'm not sure how old I will be when I stop getting giddy about Mom and Dad coming to visit, but I hope it never happens! As you can see from the pictures, Molly feels the same way about her Gammy and Lumpy and Aunt Annie that I do. We mostly just hung around the house and had a fun visit to Monkey Joes. There was also a Saturday night in which my Mom's family (the Gilberts) came over and a fair amount of Old Fashions were consumed, but unfortunately there is no photographic evidence. Thanks to Annie for the pictures, I didn't pull out my camera the whole time.

As promised

Here is the video of Mike and Molly celebrating the first touch down of the Super Bowl last night. So cute! We finally got her to say Go Hawkeyes by the end of their football season so she's a little stuck on that, maybe by baseball season she'll master Go Packers.

Go Pack Go!!!

Wow!!! What a great night to be a Packer's fan. We stayed home to watch the game as Mike couldn't handle the stress of a crowd. I planned a completely Green and Yellow menu, decorated for the occasion and even baked a special cake (I don't think the Ace of Cakes should be worried). Go Pack Go!

A little pre-game relaxation.

The tablescape (according to Sandra Lee).



The cake.

A green salad with yellow peppers and Honey Mustard dressing.

Chicken Divan: a chicken, broccoli and cheese cassrole. (Thanks Annie for the suggestion).

Yellow corn chips and guacamole.

Happy fans.

Even Molly's dinner followed the trend with corn and peas.

Yummy!

Holding up the ceremonial wedge of plastic cheese. This is from Molly's play kitchen and has been present for each of the play off games. Also notice the picture of Vince Lombardi that has been hanging in our family room since the play offs started. Molly says "Night Night Vince" every night before bed.

Mike with his celebratory piece of cake.

Check back tomorrow, I have a cute video of Mike and Molly celebrating an early touch down.
