It's hot

Valencia must have gotten to hot during her nap today.

Look!!!

Christmas time at Noni's is full of fun stuff to look at and play with. When I went to pick up Valencia today she had all kinds of things to show me. Being at work all day and away from Valencia is hard on Michaela and I. We are so thankful and lucky to have Noni and Grandpa to take care of our daughter with such love.

Shopping with Grammy

Snowman

Look who loves the sketchy old snowman passed down from Great Grandma Lola McCaskell.

Ready for bed

Christmas is coming

Open space

Must be covered with toys

Good morning

The only thing that wakes up before Valencia is her hair

Happy Thanksgiving

It's pretty easy to tell what I'm thankful for

On the job

Valencia got to come hang with me at work for a bit today. I was worried about her running around the car lot so I found a safe place to keep her.

Sit and sing

Grammy and Da came down for only one night. We all enjoyed a few rounds of Christmas carols.

Sometimes Valencia would rather

Have her face eaten by dinosaurs then get her diaper changed

Over the river and through the woods

Valencia thinks she may have found a short cut to Gee Gee's house.

Museum of Discovery

A new Museum just opened this week with lots of cool stuff. Valencia is diverting the stream from the waterfall in this pic.

Do your chores

Then you can play with Abbot

and now back to your regularly scheduled program

Home

I think I see our house

Bye bye Gee Gee

Had a wonderful visit. Valencia is gonna miss Gee Gee but we will see her at Christmas, right Gee Gee?

Date Day

Noni, Grandpa and Gee Gee watched Valencia today so Michaela and I could go down town. While we were gone Valencia got to spend some quality time with my Aunt Anna "Chooch". We had a great time shopping and Rick Bayless made us lunch!!!

Frank Lloyd Wright House

Valencia decided that Da Blair should just build her a house like this one.

Uncle New York

Uncle Zen is just like Papa but with more hair and glasses. It took Valencia a few minutes to figure him out but quickly learned he's one fun uncle.

Chicago

Fun day in the city and at Shedd aquarium. Valencia thought the fish were hilarious and the jellies were very interesting.

Gee Gee

We said are final goodbye to Great Grandfather today. It was a beautiful service with family and friends. Valencia enjoyed meeting everyone and loved spending time with her Gee Gee.

Busy Day

Room service, Aunties and Uncle

Made it to Chicago
