Day 163: Talking Through Tubes

The girls have started getting their cardboard bricks out again and playing with them. This morning Virginia and I were playing with some of the column pieces while Paige played with the bricks. Virginia started looking through one of her columns so I took one and started talking through it. The girls thought that was hilarious. Virginia was trying to look up the tube at me while Paige looked on and laughed.

Day 162: Who Are You Calling?

Virginia grabbed my Blackberry off the couch today and put it up to her ear like she was making a phone call. She was so serious about it that I asked her who she was calling. With no hesitation, she said, "Dada." Too bad he wasn't near his phone to get her phone call.

Day 161: Wagon Fun

I came home after work today and got the wagon and walked up to get the girls from daycare. When we got home they didn't want to get out of the wagon, and I didn't want to stay outside (it was hot), so we brought the wagon in and the girls played in it in there. Paige decided to play with her Magna-Doodle, while Virginia snapped herself into her seat and then yelled for "Mama."

Day 160: Virginia's New Play Place

Virginia has found a new place in the house to hang out- the toy box. She started climbing in there on Monday and has been in there at least once every day since. This evening she climbed in there with her bear and her cell phone and hung out for a bit.

Day 159: Go Nats!

Tonight the Nationals' rookie pitcher, Stephen Strasburg, is pitching in the Major Leagues for the first time, so we're watching the game. He's doing so well that Virginia and Paige decided to clap for him. Well, really, Daddy clapped and so Virginia and Paige were copying Daddy, but they're looking at the tv, so we're going to say they're clapping for Strasburg. Don't they look excited?!

Day 158: Row Row Row Your Boat

This evening the girls and I were singing "Row Row Row Your Boat" while holding hands and rocking on the couch. The girls love it! Last night Ben and I looked up more lyrics to the song so now I sing 3 verses instead of just the one that everyone knows. The girls' favorite verse is one that goes, "Row row row your boat, gently to the shore, and if you see a lion, don't forget to roar" and they roar. It's so freaking cute! Here are Paige, Virginia and I row, row, rowing our boat.

Day 157: Home Again

We came home from the beach today and my mom brought Jefferson home from her house today also. The girls were so excited tonight to have their "woof woof" back that they went over and petted him and loved on him. Virginia even gave him a kiss, just like she is in this picture. I think we're all happy to be home and all back together.
