St. Francis Day

We were invited to Thomas' church for the Blessing of the Animals. The congregation brought their beloved pets to be blessed. I opted to take a picture of Laura's fish. She named her Kario.


Thomas and Laura at church being angels (yeah right).
Laura and Thomas helped with collecting the offering.

Father Brian blessed Kario.

Saturday, Sept 29

Laura got some belated birthday gifts from crazy "uncle".

Hmmm... a fridge. Wonder if mom will let me keep it in my room? (as if!) Goodies for the fridge.

We went to visit Laura's dad at work and had lunch together. I took Laura for a walk on the Esplanade because it was such a gorgeous day.

Then we went to Trader Joe's.

Just like her mama

Laura likes anchovy stuffed olives. Makes my eyes water. Tears of joy, people.

Quality time with Ha dah buh gee

Friday
We took a duck tour.

Laura was really scared of this T-Rex.

She got to drive the boat in the water. When the tour guide held the wheel so that she wouldn't drive into the bridge, Laura kept saying "I want to drive by myself" and gave him a dirty look.

We also went to Boston Commons and it was a gorgeous day but my battery died in my camera.

Bugaboo Creek for dinner

Saturday: Jamaica Pond. They fed the ducks and geese.

Laura met a woman with a parrot on the path.

JP Licks. Yummy.

It's good to see my dad and Laura spend some time together. Come back and visit us again, soon!

Happy 3rd birthday Laura!

Laura's big day. How old are you?

Time for preschool.

Pizza Party for Laura's birthday at school.

Ha da buh gee came for Laura's birthday!

A quick trip to the park.

Another birthday party.

Thomas drops by to give Laura her presents and joins the festivities. I don't think Laura was excited.

Thomas was great with not being jealous of all of Laura's new gifts until the "laptop computer" came out. He wanted it. Then his bottom lip stayed out for the rest of his visit.

Kimchi chi gue for dinner

Then MORE ice cream cake for Laura. Happy birthday little girl.

Prepping her for my dad's visit

Ready for gymnastics

Get together

We had a get together with friends. There were 7 kids total. It was crazy, fun and we all had a good time.
Laura got some prebirthday gifts: hello kitty stuff and a new Dora backpack! She wore that the whole night.

Laura kept stealing the lime from the Corona table. I think she was looking for the Tequila.

The kids had a great time. They were doing some Indy 500 thing for 3 hours straight.

Here is the video. Laura ate her dinner while the other kids went wild!
