Proof That Laughter Is Contagious!

The camera shakes because I'm laughing so hard I could hardly breathe. Our favorite part is when she notices how hard Richard and I are laughing and takes time out to make sure we're okay. Coco had to quit because she couldn't see from the tears in her eyes. This is the BEST part of parenthood.

Slippin' and Slidin'

Mommy has been traveling quite a bit, which means I get to spend lots of time with Poppi and Gigi. Since I demand entertainment, they bought me a new slide! It's so much fun and doubles as a great seat for watching Barney.

Climbing the ladder is just as much fun as sliding.


WWWwwwhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I found out that Mommy's socks help me slide faster.

HOORAY for Richard!

Once again, the Pullen's resident overachiever brought home all A's in his MBA program!

Sure, it would have been nice if he could have taken a work sabbatical to focus solely on school, but he wasn't willing to ask his family to sacrifice the little luxuries. It seemed a nearly impossible venture two years ago, but he has excelled in every class, every semester. And, of course, he's excelled at being a husband and a father.

Only two more summer classes to go! Then he can take a break and only work a full-time job and be a dad. That's all. :)

Fun Friday Pics

Nothing says Fun Friday like a dip in the sink.


When Mommy wasn't looking, this happened. CURLS!


"I love babies, and this one is particularly cute and charming."


"Poppi, I know you are tired from the chemo. I'll sit beside you and be a sweet girl. IF, you will open these Cheerios for me."


Singing Twinkle Twinkle in Gigi's floor.

Ella Kate's Poppi Had A Farm. E-I-E-I-O

This is our version of Old McDonald. On Poppi's farm, he has some cows, goats, bees, ants and rocks!

While we had grand visions of EK visiting the family farm, playing with the animals and running free, we quickly learned that a very sassy 16 month old isn't quite ready to listen to instructions with such excitement around. Something else Ella Kate's Poppi has on his farm? T-R-O-U-B-L-E. You might not know it from the pictures, but she was a nightmare toddler 98% of the time we were there.

And, after ignoring Mommy's 15 warnings about running on rocks, she enjoyed her first skinned knee. E-I-E-I-Ouch.
