This is her version of Mommy. Not sure what she is trying to say about my cheeks 
Greta’s new role. November 9, 2009
Happy Halloween! November 1, 2009
The kids and I (Daddy had a performance) had a wonderful Halloween!
First we went to Aunt Jessica’s for a yummy dinner and LOTS of candy. Then we “borrowed” her neighborhood and went trick-or treating.
Miss Greta was a ballerina.
Who naturally did this with her arms whenever she yelled “trick or treat”
Mr. Miles was the oh-so-hip, DJ Lance.
It was the perfect fall evening for a stroll with my two favorite cuties.
You’re a good man, Daddy. November 1, 2009
My husband is playing the role of Charlie Brown in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown for a local theatre company. Greta and I attended the opening night show. We made sure to stop at the ice cream shop below the theatre before the show. I am very proud of my husband. He has worked so hard, and the show was fabulous! When I asked Greta, what her favorite part of the show was, she said, “Daddy!”. Of course
But then she thought about it and said, “And ice cream, too!”
**sorry, friends- no flash photography allowed at the actual show**
fancy day. October 21, 2009
Greta announced to Daddy over the phone the other day that she was “having a fancy day”.
Does anyone recognize this adorable hat??
daniel son. October 14, 2009
This summer my brother Eric was staining the deck at my parents house. Greta just had to help Uncle Eric. She ended up helping him for a really long time. Uncle Eric is so good with kids! Greta would occasionally start whining or crying when she would get frustrated. Eric responded by getting on her level and gently telling her, “remember, if you want to help- there is no crying”. Not too bad for a bachelor!
I’m not sure what the bandanas are all about, maybe Eric was pretending to be Mr. Miyagi?

field trip. October 5, 2009
Greta had her first field trip today. First we had a hayrack ride, then the kids picked out a pumpkin and painted it. Then they had snack time and finished the event with a jump in the bouncy-house.
On the way home, Greta told me, “that field trip was fabulous!”.
my daughter is… September 25, 2009
Not a tomboy!
It’s funny, because most people who know me assume that I must have been a tomboy as a little girl. I am told by my Mother that little Greta acts exactly like little Sherri did There is one difference though. As prissy as she is, she has no desire to play with baby dolls and I was always carrying around my 8 cabbage patch kids!
the castle. September 25, 2009
Greta loves making forts with Daddy. At any given time, there very well may be blankets, pillows and all of the couch cushions on the floor. They do this a lot after dinner and before Daddy has to run off the Charlie Brown rehearsal. The other night, Miles got in on the action, too.
We thought Miles was going to become a regular at the castle, but…
Then, he tried to escape! (Daddy is protecting that little head )
