Day at the park

Meredith and I spent this past Saturday at Tilles Park which has a nice area for smaller kids. The larger slide was a little scary for her as she ended up head first half way down, but the ladybug and snails were big hits.

Avery's Birthday Party

Meredith and I were invited to Avery's 1st birthday and we had a great time. Meredith spent most of the time sitting in a chair she found and watching the people she didn't know. That or she was plotting to take over the world-you decide.

Cinco de Mayo

It wasn't quite warm enough on the actual cinco de Mayo for Meredith to wear her Dress from Mexico that Lala brought back with her last time she visited, but it was on the seis de Mayo!


While trying to get a nice picture of Meredith in her dress I discovered that she thinks that when you say "cheese" you have to squat down. Wonder where that came from.

Easter Egg Hunt

Meredith went to her first Easter Egg Hunt this year.  She didn't quite get the whole concept so she ended up sitting down and I pushed eggs towards her.  She did manage to put them inthe basket though.  I think watching the other kids was even more fun than the eggs.

That damn Mike

You just knew she would be a daddy's girl, didn't you?

Trip to MN

Meredith and I ventured up to MN recently to see family, including Aunt Allison who had never met Miss Mere. Meredith did great on the plane pride up there, but had a melt down on the ride back. I tried to explain that just because you can fit under the seat in front of you, it doesn't mean you should. But there was no reasoning.

Sneaky Smile

Meredith's dad brought back this outfit from Singapore, and she modeled it during our recent visit. She is also perfecting her sneaky smile.
