Enjoying The Warm Weather...While It Lasts...

Here are some pics and videos from Saturday. It was a beautiful day with temps in the mid 70's. How much snow has fallen in Connecticut, again? Just kiddin' ;-) Although, as I'm writing this post  the forecast is calling for 4-8 inches on snow to hit here sometime Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning. Yikes!

Playdate At Aspire Gym

Haley and I joined other kids for a playdate at Aspire Gymnastics Academy on Friday. The gym offers open play several times throughout the month. The kids are able to play on the equipment and get free gymnastic lessons. Haley loves to bounce on the trampolines and jump into the big foam pit. There are not too many pictures because many of them came out way too dark. The videos are funny though.

Our Rising Star

This past Saturday Renee, Haley and I decided to go furniture shopping. Okay, so maybe it was more Renee's idea than Haley's or mine, but none-the-less we were happy to go along. After a long day of looking at furniture we were all pretty tired and ready to go home and relax. On our way home, Haley (who at this point was exhausted) decided to start singing for us. Check out the following videos. We have a star here!

Haley doing vocal warm ups and then singing, "What R U Doing" and "Balloons In Da Air" 

 
Songs: "I Love You All The Time", "Party Time", and "Birds Flying With Sun In My Eyes"

Songs: "Ellie" and "Who I Love"

 
Songs: "Presents", "I Love Watching Movies", and "Eatin' Popcorn"

First "Major" Snow Of 2011

Well we had our first real snow fall here in Northwest Arkansas. We received about 3-4 inches, and yes, that is considered a lot around here. Here are some pics of Haley playing in the snow. 



 Can we go outside...Please!
 It didn't take Haley long to take off

Christmas Week

Christmas was great this year. Uncle Bobby came up from Florida and Grandpa Harris came down from Connecticut. However, we did miss Grandpa Rinaldi. A blizzard hit Connecticut the day he was scheduled to leave for Arkansas.
