It's been a long time...

I was sitting here looking at our blog and realized the snow has been "long" gone and the little buds of my day lilies are beginning to peek out of the ground so I needed to create a new post. Here are a few things we've been up to...


Wedding Dress Shopping with Auntie Mary

Mary is getting married on June 20th to Bo. Norah and I are in the wedding - I am her "Matron" of Honor (god makes me feel 100 years old) and Norah is her flower girl.
Norah's Big Girl
Bed
We made the transition and converted Norah's bed to a toddler bed outfitted with the Disney Princess linen. She seems to like being so grown up- for the first week or so she wouldn't get out of the bed when she awoke from nap - seems in her mind the crib bars were still up (sort of a mental block). Well today I walked in after hearing her little voice making conversation and low and behold there was Norah- tucked in the corner of her room reading- she looked petrified that I caught her out of bed- and started to make up a bunch of excuses why she wasn't taking a nap. My negotiation skills were a bit rusty so she got to stay in her room and read for a while longer and then got up and watched a movie. Way to go mom.



"Bella - Bella - Bella Dancerella"
Norah is also an up and comming ballet dancer with her buddy Nolan. I have a video of this performance - which is too funny. Here is a picture before the big dance - which speaks a thousand words...




I thought many of you would get a kick out of this one... Man how time flies.

Thats all I have for now. Stay tuned for more exciting adventures of the O'Patti's!
