Hi Daddy

These pictures were taken by request. As in Sierra was playing and informed me that I should take her picture, because Daddy wants to see her playing. As soon as I was ready to take the picture, she would smile, wave, and say "Hi Daddy". Then she needed to assist with review and informed me which pictures Daddy would like. I was laughing so hard, I was crying. At least that's the reason I'm giving for my big sappy tears.

The helmet is a new bike helmet to take into school. It came with elbow and knee pads. She had to try them out. Notice the socks. Yes, those are the little socks that are 0-6 months. One of the games that she was playing was to pull out socks. She put them on herself.

What is Chris Doing?

I just discovered that the Public Affairs Office has set up a blog regarding the training operation that Chris is on, Cooperative Spirit 2008. It can be found at http://cooperativespirit08.blogspot.com/. It provides a brief description of what they are doing, who is involved, and pictures of various training components. There are even a few YouTube videos at the very bottom.

Curly Pony

When I pulled my hair up for the evening, Sierra asked that I pull her hair up into a pony. This was the first time in a while that she has asked for a pony. I hadn't realized how much her hair has grown in the last couple of weeks. How cute are the curls? At least there is proof that there is some of me in there...some place.

Does it Get Any Sweeter?

The Bunny Never Stood a Chance

Smiling for Daddy

I was asked (directed) to take a picture to send to Daddy in Germany.

Mickey Will Make it Better

We all know that Sierra loves Mickey Mouse. She enjoys snuggling in "the big bed" watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. In the last week, she has started pulling "her Mickey Mouse" into the snuggle time.

If you notice the said little face...this was about four days after Daddy left for Germany. Mommy couldn't console her. If Mommy wanted to help, Mommy could go to Germany, so that Daddy could come home.

Puyallup Fair - Elephant Ears

In honor of Tita Tobi, while we enjoying a wonderful day at The Fair, we made sure that we had an elephant ear. You know how sometimes when you haven't had something in a long time, it is not as wonderful as you remember it? That was not the case in this situation. Apparently, the science behind making elephant ears is a state secret. The woman making them got very bothered when I pulled out the camera to take a picture to send Tobi.

Tobi - Sorry that you weren't there to share it with us. Maybe next year.
