Today we took Bella to the park for the first time! She LOVED it!! There is a great new park in Norman with lots of fun equipment and the weather was beautiful. Looks like we'll be going back a lot as the weather gets warmer!

Daycare!

Bella has been doing so well at daycare! Here is a pic of Bella and Mrs. Renee' :) Her teachers tell me that she never cries anymore and is so happy! Usually whenever I would pick her up she would be sitting in someone's lap during gym time, now she is running around playing with all the other kids! Good job Bella!

John and I LOVE going to the movies. It seems like a distant memory being able to go without having to plan a week in advance. Sure, we can hire a babysitter (if we want to pay five bucks an hour.) John's mother is usually available, but she has usually had a long week and it's exhausting looking after her. Friends volunteer, but we always feel like we have to rush back home. John had an epiphany today (What if we took Bella along with us?) The Warren theater has a cry room, but you are limited to whatever movie is showing in those theaters. AMC is dangerous and we have a child now. Hollywood is almost as expensive as Warren, but it is a shell of its former glory. Here's the plan. Step 1- STARBUCKS. Step 2- Pick the latest movie possible. Step 3- Keep Bella up as late as possible. Step 4- See if she will sleep through the flick. Step 5- DO NOT become angry if this doesn't work. Step 6- Kick ourselves if it does work, and we have just never thought of it before!

Welcome to my first post on our blog! Today we are snowed in yet again from the Snowpacalyse of 2011! We have drifts of snow that have almost completely buried our patio furniture in the backyard (it's actually a few inches deeper than when we took this pic!) So far we are staying in and staying warm! More pics/stories to come...stay tuned!
