My Bus

First Day of (a new) School

Lydia aged up and we're headed to the toddler daycare center. She and
her friend Jon start in the new school together today.

Making her Ded proud.

This morning at home and once again in the car Lydia Violet was
singing. For the most part the lyrics were "La La La," the sound that
three little pigs make.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz...

It's a grey day. LV is ready for a nap.

A Star is Born

She's a movie star, a dancer, a singer, an engineer, a
telecommunicator, a chef, and much, much more. Photo shows Lydia
Violet on the way to school this morning. So darn cute!

NC-bound

Hi, Papa! Yawn, Zzzzzzzz...

No pictures, please.

The starlet tries to hide her face.

Sleeping Babies

Running errands, Lydia is tuckered out.

When I was your age.

I walked to school through... It was -4* F with wind chill on the way
to school this morning. Lydia only whimpered when the scarf covered
her eyes. She's a tough cookie.

Ooh, it's cold.

Happy Girl

On the way home from Grandma and Popi's house. Mama's getting a coffee
at Starbooks Cawfee.

In Reverse, I see you!

Baby in Her Own Car ... seat

This weekend at the grocery store. These carts are never available when we want them. But one was waiting for us this time! She was SO excited.

Brrrrr...

Lydia is wearing Papa's gloves. Bundled up. It was in the 20s this weekend. Brrrr...

On the way to church, Hokie!

Little Girl Sick

On our way to the doctors. Jen fears that Lydia has bronchitis. I am
hope it's just a bad cough.

Baby Got Bling

On the way to school, Lydia sporting her new wooden bracelet (she put
it on herself!)

Bershon in the making.

On the way to school I said Lydia's name more than 10 times before she
looked at me. "Ugh, Papa not another picture!"

Lydia Violet Upgrade

Lydia's seat is now forward facing. Before leaving the beach this past
weekend we made the switch. She loves it, so much more to see. In this
photo we're on our way to school.

Can I get some air conditioning?

Ahhh... Thanks!

Whipped... because it's so HOT!

H-O-T, HOT!

Whew... I could use a cold compress.

Why do you keep pointing that thing at me?

It's raining and I'm warm in the car waiting for Papa at the Kiss & Ride.

Papa & Baby in a Carseat

Look into my eyes...no? Ok.

Now that it's Mr. Mom's turn to take the photos, I can't just pick one.

Ugh what a week...psych TGIF!

The horror, oh the horror.

gettin' back into it

Baby in a Carseat has been MIA for a bit. And the wee babe has moved up in carseat size, which makes getting her pic more complex. But no excuses folks. We're back.
