Remember back in January?

Remember how Fred and I looked in Guangzhou? or coming off the plane in St. Louis after being in China? Well, it's not just us. Our friends the Allmans have four more days in China before they can come home, and they look just like we did!

Just so you can fully appreciate the stealth and speed that goes into photographing a two year old, the vast majority of the photos I take look like this. They're usually blurry because she's ALWAYS in motion! Also often way too close because she's reaching for the camera to see what the photo I just took looks like.

Say what? What you talkin' 'bout, Willis?

Here's the back view of our hat. Stylin', eh? 

Even with the hat upside down and backwards, she's gorgeous, isn't she? 

We are also making a fashion statement with our disco era pink striped visor. Yes, I think she might've accidentally caught the movie "Roller Boogie" on cable... 

Today we are "sans" arm cuffs! Hooray!

We are also quite fond of the little white mouse our Aunt Laura gave us! (Sorry, Katrina!)

Hey! I'm trying to nap here!

Grant's Farm will never be the same...

Off they go!

More mischief on the way... 

Maggie figures picking Livi up by the hair really is the most efficient way to do it. (It worked, after all, didn't it?) 

Cute goat 

Hey, how come HE gets to drink out of a bottle and I can't?

Okay, c'mon, let's go make some more trouble... 

What are you doing? 

Here, Maggie, have a seat in my chair! 

Hey! What's that? 

They may be short, but they're fast!

The two of them together are mischief on the hoof!

Grant's Farm Adventure, July 29

Livi and Maggie (with mommies in tow) went to Grant's Farm today!

After five months of ignoring the dolls she received for her birthday, Liv has finally discovered she likes them! (Thanks, Aunt Pat!)

We have some new pets. Yes, after some mysterious fish plague wiped out the silver dollars, we went for some Ryukins and fantail goldfish. Liv adores them! And they're pretty, too!
