Grand

Have you ever been here?

If you haven't and you are in Nashville sometime, you should go.  The Opryland Hotel.  It's a pretty spectacular place. 

And finish your day there with an ice cream at Haagen-Dazs.

It was a good ol' grand day.

When they are crabby

Put them in water

And then it's all smiles after that.

We really enjoyed this gorgeous, almost spring, St. Patty's Day! 

First we made green rice krispy treats!

And ate the Irish flag

Then they smiled for my camera wearing their green.  Lucy's changed a lot since last year, yes?

We had such a fun St. Patrick's Day!  Erin Go Bragh (or Ireland 'til the end just in case you never knew what that meant!)  Happy St. Patrick's Day from the McZollars!

Occasionally

he throws a glance at my camera and I.

But only occasionally.

Hope you are having a good week.  We are headed to Nashville on Friday to see Dada! All of us are excited to see him!

15 months

and such a big, INDEPENDENT (can't stress that one enough) sweet, beautiful girl.

Her newest words:

"this" - to describe everything and anything

"go go go" when she's walking, running, riding in the car, anything really that makes her move.

Keep "go go go"ing darling Lucy, oh how we love you.

Flashback

Lucy has a miserable cold (again). Yesterday she was so fussy and sad that I decided to put some water in the sink and let her splash her feet around.

That didn't last long of course

This little fun made me think of another little one splashing around in the sink, in March of 2007.  Different house and he wasn't as adventurous (or perhaps his mother was a little bit more overbearing/protective)

Oh melt my heart.  Those eyes, that hair.  Sweet sweet boy.

Happy Thursday.  We have a visitor coming today, Mema!!  But Brady doesn't know, it's a surprise!  I think he's going to fall over with excitement.

She loves

her baby and stroller

but if you look a little closer

she loves her (Brady's) airplanes too.
