More cute pics from Missouri...

Thanks Jenn for taking & sending these pics! You rock!!

8 month old guppie!!

Morgan had a make-up swim lesson this morning. I didn't get any pics of her in the water but here's right afterwards. She wimpers a little during class because floating is hard work! She floated all by herself for 2 seconds. I know it doesn't seem like a long time but when are watching it, it is VERY long!!

Happy 8 months Munchkin! I can't imagine my life without you in it!!

Buddies in the Bluebonnets!

Ooohhh...I like these!!

Yay!! Friends!

More friends!

Almost all of my friends now!

Good thing I'm cute!!

Morgan's new toys!!

Grandma B sent us home with a huge bag of balls. Morgan loves playing with them but can't chase them when they roll away from her.

I saw this little pool & thought it would be perfect. She can kick them & they bounce back to her!

Steve picked up a little swing & set it up yesterday. Taylor helped Morgan try out her new toy.


Whee! Whee! Whee!


Daddy was worried that the sun was in his little princess' eyes so they tried to rig a "sunscreen."

"Daddy, why are you always making faces at me??"

LunaFest '09

Everyone looked so nice!!

Joanne & Jodie manning the ticket booth.

Elizabeth & I tending bar.

Look at all of the guests behind Marissa! I think we had a pretty good turnout!!

IKEA

These pillows rock!! I love this store!!

The Arch in St.Louis!

It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for site-seeing.
Here's everyone looking at the boats out on the river. The old bridges are great.

Here we are up at the top of the Arch. Look at all the buildings below!

"Momma, we won't fall will we?"

"Oh, these slanted walls & floors are making me dizzy!"

We had lunch at an Irish pub on the river afterwards. Morgan had her first taste of mashed potatoes!

"Hey, so that's why Daddy wanted to name me Morgan!!"

Meeting new family members in Missouri!!

Whew......Morgan met a lot of people over last week in Missouri!!

First, she met the little finches that have breakfast outside on the balcony every morning. Every time Morgan got excited, she scared them off.

Then she met her chicken, Sunshine.

Next, Great Grandma Holtmann came over for a visit. I think I have figured out where the crazy hair comes from!


Grandpa got some time in as well.

Her aunt, uncle & cousins show up the next day. Now she has friends for her tea party!


We go into the city & meet Great Grandma Bresnahan.

Morgan kept everyone very entertained!

She loved spending time with Aunt Jen & Ashlyn.

There's Grandma Bresnahan.

Uncle Bob read her a bedtime story....or a tool magazine....not sure which!

Emma & Ashlyn helped put Morgan to bed.

We're back!!

Well....we made it back from Missouri. It was 2 very long car rides but well worth it!! I have lots of pics to go through & sort out & will post some ASAP. Meanwhile....my wonderful sister-in-law is a professional photographer in Kansas City. She brought her equipment & took some of the sweetest pics of my little monster....take a look when you get a chance...http://mymemoriesthatlast.blogspot.com/2009/03/make-shift-studio.html

Thank you oodles - Jen!! Morgan misses you guys already!

Erin Go-Braugh!!

Morgan went to her first Irish Festival in Dallas. We couldn't have asked for a prettier day.

Morgan had a blast! There were little red-headed blue-eyed babies as far as the eye could see....it was great!

She always has fun with Aunt Heather.

We took a break in the shade to watch the "Scottish Rogues."



Poor little Leprechan......wore herself out!!

Morgan's First Carousel Ride!!

"Momma, I think I'm gonna be sick!"

Open your eyes Luke, it's not so bad!

Look at all of our friends! We did it & no one is crying!

"Oh, this is much better but why is the room still spinning?"
