then and now

July, 2007, Poland Hall at WKU:


Last week, here:

fall leaves

At the end clip, Mary was watching me finish raking..and playing peekabo by ducking below the window and popping back up :) Just missed it.

lunch time!

awesome autumn

Corrie weekend quotes

"See this big yellow leaf? I'm going to take it back outside.."
[you don't have to go outside Corrie; why don't you just put it in the trash?]
"But I think the other leaves will miss him!"

[when mom and dad were leaving for a dinner date]
"Oooohh I don't think I've ever gone on a date before!"

[out of nowhere, at dinner, after dad's long day of ultimate frisbee]
"I think I smell you, Dad!"

Mary and Johnny, part 2

In this clip, Mary can't get to Johnny so she gives up - almost. At the end is her version of the 'meow' that she often does to Johnny (he doesn't meow a lot, but when he does it's in a raspy voice. Just like Mary's impression).

Corrie story

In the bath tonight:

"Mom said I will keep getting bigger and when I get to be older I will be 18 years old and I will be thiiiss big* and then I can drive the car!"

*(gestures about 3 feet tall, which really is big because almost
everything she gestures for size is about 1/2" between her
thumb and forefinger)

open gym

Our playgroup has had to move indoors because of the cooler weather. This week we explored a local gym during open hour. We have really been enjoying meeting with other friends and definitely enjoyed this weeks activity. They were pretty pooped after jumping in the foam pit, swinging on the rope swing and bouncing on the trampoline/tumble run. Of course Corrie on the way out spotted a pink leotard and had to ask if we could get it... maybe someday in the future!

Mary and Johnny

The police

Corrie's first drawing that actually resembles a human?
[who is that?]
"I dunno.. maybe a police??"
[oh, and what's that other thing?]
"It's a hole... with a mole in it!"

Corrie's rainy days
