Snow Parties

December 19, 2008

First I need to share the story behind “Naked Baby” – I guess when I used to get Mallory undressed, I would say “NAKED BABY NAKED BABY!” (I don’t remember that, but Rick says I used to do it). Anyway, just recently she started taking her pajamas off and singing the Naked Baby song, and I just had to get it on video.

Rick & I both had our work parties Thursday night; mine was right after work and then it was on to Rick’s. I’d never been to Rick’s work holiday party because normally he has football …

Question: “Hey Sam! How great were the pictures you took of Mallory’s first sledding trip?”
Can you believe it?? I was SUCH a slacker mom today. We took Cooper to the woods today and brought the little sled for Mallory. At the top of the dirt road hill that we walk up, there is another PERFECT sledding hill. Rick & Mallory went down the hill a bunch of times and I got NONE of it on film. She had a TOTAL blast and kept telling daddy to do it “adain”. It’s supposed to be in the 40s and rainy tomorrow so …
