new year's adventure

check out what we were up to at uncle ronnie and martha mama's!

it's kinda of a long story...the short version is that one of the grocery stores here has a live lobster tank that is essentially on the floor. so chris took thalia over to see the lobsters. we then went to ronnie's house, told him that thalia saw the lobsters, ron mentioned he wanted to cook one, we mentioned they were on sale, and chris, thalia, and ron went back to the store to get two for dinner. well, for an "appetizer"...ron had already made barbecue beef for dinner! nugget wasn't all that impressed, but poor thalia was totally scared. she wouldn't get off my lap. it was a riot! after we played with them, ron boiled them and we had buttered lobster tail for a snack. it was pretty good!

i also found time (and lighting) to take a picture of thalia's room.

yes, it looks shockingly similar to her old room. but i loved the way it turned out and gamma had already made her pink elephant quilt. you can just see it, but the heart above her closet door is this beautiful metal piece from gigi. it has a teal glass square and a hummingbird. it is one of my new favorite pieces!
you'll also noticed that i finally got around to taking thalia's 22 month hippo picture. isn't she cute?!

more pictures to come...i have them in too many places!

much love and more sleep,
