Six games completed and my bracket is already horribly out of whack. But that's okay because one of my mistakes was for BYU. They have won. It is a miracle. A double overtime miracle. I guess I will rescind my boycott call.
Now let's see what the Mountaineers are capable of.
To go with it, you can get a faux wrap that pulls right up... genius.
These butterflies are really tempting too.
Then the ruffles from Gymboree...
And the tutu from Old Navy. I wonder if the ruffles and frills would look better on a chubby baby or barely walking, toddling thing? Still cute though.
I remember being in Old Navy not that long ago and kind of eyeing a navy polka dot suit, but couldn't find it online. I did find this coral set-- I really like the detail on the skirt.

No doubt Luke is a key player in the drama too, particularly now that he is mobile. (Maybe his show should be titled Oh, The Places You'll Go! ) But after being introduced to the Grinch around Christmastime, Calli has become quite a fan. So the old pics of mostly her just seemed more fitting. And if my former school teacher memory serves me right, today is the Doctor's birthday. If you saw the stack of books we brought home from the library yesterday you would know we are paying tribute in word and deed and pictures, of course.
possible. (Though I may make a pledge to get back in the creative groove...) 
Though he laughs and laughs at her squeals, I don't think Luke finds it too funny when she is climbing all over him. And when he is climbing all over her things arranged in a perfect row, she doesn't think it is too funny either. I guess you could say the feeling is mutual.
Calli has been up to all things toddler and all things girl. Attending her first tea, painting her nails and obtaining her first black eye. Frequenting the potty (yeah!) and living in a world of imaginary play. She has the friends to prove it. There's Lydia who stays in Luke's room, Sarah who is on the phone and Grwoyie (I think this is some derivative of girlie) whose house can be found behind any cabinet or closet door. Calli sings and requests songs all day. Her ability to learn lyrics really is amazing. She knows EVERY word to many difficult songs. Popular music, show tunes, Primary, Disney... Maybe I will introduce her to Mary Poppins and see how she does with 
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Oh, how can you not love a little monkey jumping on her bed in princess pajamas?
Luke is growing up faster than I can stand. Approaching nine months, he's got two teeth with two more on the way (appearing this week?), saying "mama" and getting around on all fours. Loving the table foods, pancakes especially. For the record, his hair is mostly laying down now, unless he wakes up from a nap like this. 
This age is one that I just adore. Babies at this stage are so playful and fun, progressing quickly and gaining independence. (Maybe this has something to do with the age coinciding with this time of year too. Spring around the corner!)I just can't wait for the next three months with him. Even when I find him dumping out the garbage can in the bathroom or eating his scraps from the kitchen floor before I've gotten to sweeping them up... That sweet face while he sleeps. Oh, I just can't get enough.
Dan and I having been enduring the rain both in and out. Just the ups and downs that come with life. Enjoying each other's company in recent addictions to this show and trying new healthy recipes together--Greek Pizzas and Turkey Wraps to name a few. I have resisted the urge to jump on the Facebook wagon for time sucking purposes, but every now and then hop on Dan's account to see what is going on out there. For a while people were doing the celebrity look-a-like thing and I just couldn't resist doing this...
I used to get told that this was the girl I looked like... (Of course, this was when we both had longer hair and she was Pre-Tom...)
And my mom thinks Dan looks like this guy... (Although, some "interesting" friend on the light rail claimed he was, "Opie, no Ron Howard" once...)
What do you think?
Our Christmas sweeties, Hailee and
Peyton, 
and little Reagan, who we can't wait to meet in person.
