Clifford the Big, Big, Big, Big Dog

For her birthday last December, Grandma Mary purchased Amelia tickets to "Clifford the Big Red Dog" at the Appleton Performing Arts Center. So fun!! We love gifts that create memories like this!

She was very excited to see Clifford the "Big, big, big, big dog" whom she has read about in many books. We weren't sure how she would do at a "sit-down" event such as this, but all reports came back positive (Translation: if she threw a tantrum, no one told me about it! A true example of the idiom "ignorance is bliss"!!)

Wow, it's been over a month since our last post. We apologize. Please forgive us.

As you can see, we've been working hard on straighening out our smile, now I guess next we need to work on keeping our eyes open!

Amelia, Mom, and Baby#2 have all been growing. In fact, Amelia finally surpassed the milestone 20 pound mark at her 18 month doctor's appointment last week, putting her back into the 3rd percentile for weight. No one seems remotely concerned as she is a busy busy girl who loves to run around while yelling "Go! Go! Go!!" She has many words and signs and makes us all laugh at least a hundred times every day.

Issac and myself have been busy celebrating nuptials with many great couples this summer (and will celebrate another tomorrow, actually!). While Amelia looks forward to her second-ever wedding dance party in late July, while Mom&Dad were celebrating the aforementioned weddings, Amelia spent a few exciting days with her Grandma Mary, Grandpa Bill & Auntie Lisa.
