In the Land of us. Tuesday, May 31, 2011. We have been busy at the Moreland house so blogging has gotten neglected lately. We had some illness and now Donna is wrapping up school and Mike is still working 2 jobs. School is almost out, so hopefully these won't be once a month posts. Here are several pictures and a couple of videos to get you caught up on the happenings around here. Playing outside with sidewalk chalk. Mikaela loves to be outdoors. Reading her books, a favorite indoor activity. One day whi...

More Moments: New York, Part 8: Staten Island Ferry
http://mikedonnaandthedog.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-york-part-8-staten-island-ferry.html
In the Land of us. Friday, December 2, 2011. New York, Part 8: Staten Island Ferry. We decided to head down to the harbor to see the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge. My cousin suggested riding the Staten Island Ferry. It was free, took about an hour, and drove us right by Lady Liberty. We were able to see her a little more up close, as well as get beautiful views of the city. It was approaching sunset, so that was a nice touch. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

In the Land of us. Wednesday, December 7, 2011. New York, Part 11: Empire State Building. After Macy's, we walked down the street to the Empire State Building. Because it was night, we don't have great shots, but the view was pretty, despite the bitter cold winds. Labels: empire state building. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

In the Land of us. Thursday, June 30, 2011. A Trip to Athens, TX. Graemma, Mikaela, and I went to Athens, TX for a couple of days to visit Graempa. He was able to take Mikaela to campus and show her off to his co-workers. She charmed them all by shaking hands with everyone she met. After meeting TVCC staff, Graempa had to work so we found things around Athens to do. Asleep before we ever got started. Asleep next to the first pond with large mouth bass. GIANT catfish swarming the wall. Tuesday evening aft...

In the Land of us. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Sunday, April 24, 2011. Easter weekend began last weekend when we had an egg-dying party with our life group. This was Mikaela's first experience with it, but the adults had a blast creating 3D, tie-dye, and other original creations. Getting ready to dunk the egg. Gran and Papa Bill had sent Mikaela a Veggietales Egg Dying kit that included stickers which were a big hit with Mikaela. Adding stickers to her pink egg. Teaching her the proper technique. The todd...

In the Land of us. Saturday, December 3, 2011. New York, Part 9: 911 Memorial. The pictures aren't spectacular because the sun was down before we went, but it was still great to see it, say a little prayer for those victims' families, and remember.

More Moments: New York, Part 10: Macy's
http://mikedonnaandthedog.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-york-part-10-macys.html
In the Land of us. Saturday, December 3, 2011. New York, Part 10: Macy's. Friday evening we met up with our friends at the 34th street Macy's. They aren't kidding when they say it's the largest department store. We went on all 9 floors of this place, just on the Broadway side. We never even made it to the 7th street side. It was all decorated for Christmas and very crowded. It was a popular stop for Black Friday shoppers, of course. CNN news interview outside the store. Express Train to Santa.

In the Land of us. Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Last night while reading stories for bedtime, she was identifying various objects in a picture. Mike would point to it, and she'd name it. Grapes, apple, car, etc. When Mike pointed to the camera she said, "Say cheese.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Lilypie Third Birthday tickers. View my complete profile.

http://mikedonnaandthedog.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
In the Land of us. Sunday, July 31, 2011. Tonight before getting ready for bed, Mikaela was asked to pick up her toys, as usual. She was extra tired so this was a little more of a chore than normal. Her juice cup was still on the floor and we knew she'd use that as a way not to clean up. So we moved it out of reach. This started a fit and the following conversation:. Do you want juice? Then clean up" (handing her one lego to put in her box.). She was a big fan of climbing out using the ladder. Part of ou...

In the Land of us. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. More Fun with Mika and Tono. Mikaela is learning her colors at the babysitter's house. The first week - blue, last week - green, this week - yellow. At times she can pick out the color if given a choice of two and you say, "Which is *color*? However, if you ask, "What color is this? Her answer will almost always be "pink.". Thursday, August 25, 2011. Hanging out with "Mika" and "Tono". Wednesday, August 24, 2011. Saturday, August 20, 2011. The Turf Room - wh...
