Our friends, Eric and Kari, passed on an awesome Thomas train set. It's huge! Maris loves it.

Excited to get started.


It's hard to tell who will have more fun with this. Maris, at least, can stop to take a picture.


"This piece goes here." (But probably not really.)


The finished product. It takes up the whole kitchen floor!!

Maris is showing off her new Chucks. Neon pink. We won't lose her, that's for sure!

She loves them and wanted to wear them to bed.

Thank you Uncle Dan and Aunt Vicki!

Grandma and Grandpa had to replace their toilet. Maris thinks it is the funniest thing in the world that the old potty is in the backyard. She insists on sitting on it every time we've been there this week.

Maris helped me celebrate the anniversary of my 29th birthday. I got some fun slippers from Aunt Vicki and Uncle Dan. Maris promptly claimed them for herself... of course they did match her outfit!

Our cousins from California were visiting. Glad we could squeeze them into the crazy wedding weekend! We miss them!

Happy Wedding Day, Jason and Jenalle!

Johnny performed his first ceremony (and did a great job!) and Maris was a dancing fool!

She never stopped moving for two hours.
She danced with the groom.


And Daddy...


And Mama...


Okay, so Mama did a lot of sitting and Maris danced around me. She still had fun.
(Here, I think she's saying, "Enough with the pictures! There's more dancing to be done!")

Hopefully this means she will be a good little helper. We've been bringing the baby stuff out slowly to acclimate her. Maris loves the carseat!

(She's wearing the dress again, not still.)

Happy birthday, Grandpa Corey!

We celebrated by racing in the backyard.

Just more proof that my dog thinks she's really a person.

Ahhh!! Maris, run! Run for your life!


In what I hope will be an obvious statement, Maris and I went to the zoo today!
