Best Friends

Piper visits her best friend Grace for a day of fun play. Running, jumping, dancing, peek-a-poo! The girls talked and laughed and were silly the whole morning. It is so much fun to watch these two grow up together. Grace has a baby brother on the way-any day now and we know she will make a fantastic big sister. I am sure Piper will enjoy visits to help Jen with the new baby and to keep Grace company during the transition.

Here the girls pose for the camera with hugs and giggles!

it's house party time!!!

Today was a special day for Piper. We were lucky enough to get into the sold out DAN ZANES and FRIENDS show at the Aladdin Theatre. Piper wasn't quite sure what to make out of the long line to get into the door that spanned the entire block and around the corner until we saw Dan Zanes and Friends strumming their mandolins and make their way inside. Once inside we quickly made our way to the front and got ready for some fun dancing. Piper watched the first part of the show on top of dada and mama shoulders, but once 'Catch that train' started she jumped down and started to boogie down.

Piper and Mama in front of the Aladdin marque in line to get in.

Dan Zanes and Friends come walkin up the sidewalk-mandolins in hand singing and smiling on the way inside the venue. How perfect it was that we were finally near the door when he walked up. yipee



The band having fun!



We stayed afterwards to get a poster signed by Dan and to get a quick picture with him. Piper was pretty tuckered out at this point, so she didn't cheese up for the picture. But we thanked him for a good time-and can't wait for when he returns to Portland.

woohoo. house party time!


Piper meets Dan Zanes. She is a little tired to be as excited as mama was though.

Bunny Day

Piper gets a dose of holiday this weekend by searching for eggs we painted on Saturday and finding a basket full of fun toys to play with. No sugar for this monkey...or bunny rather. While all the other kids are getting hopped up on chocolate eggs, Piper makes out like a bandit with safari animal view master disks, bubbles and some nail polish and lip gloss.

Piper searchs for her basket the spring bunny left her this weekend. Complete with Bunny ears!!she finds her basket of toys left by peter cottontail.


We make best of the 20 minutes of sun on Sunday and searched for eggs bright and early.

Nana visits

Nana Julie flies in from Arizona to visit with Piper and take massage classes with mama. Piper enjoys a few days with Nana alone, playing in the backyard and playing with her safari animals. She really had fun showing off her dancing skills all week and watching Peter Pan. Her new favorite.


Piper and Nana play with our neighbors orange cat.
