Friday and Saturday

I worked yesterday (Friday) while David stayed home with Daisy, who has thrush and therefore isn't at daycare this week. David surprised me by bringing Daisy up to New River. What a great treat!

Here she is being held by Mark, my old boss.


After work, we were invited to the Staats home for a Wii game night. Here David watches Evan play.


Today, we visited the field house at VT for a track meet. David's sis was in town with the UVA team where she serves as the trainer. We took her some lunch and she got to snuggle with Daisy for a bit.


Here are David, Daisy and Lisa posing for a pic.


We had some folks over to watch the VT-FSU bball game (unfortunately the Hokies couldn't pull this one out). Our friend Jim had fun flying Daisy around in the air.


Finally, here's the video of the day. Wade and Daisy both making noises!5490355246033918

More noises!

Another Daisy video...

Daisy's day

Daddy and Daisy spent some quality time together today. As mentioned in a previous post, Daisy has discovered her lips and tongue and how to put them together to blow bubbles and make a 'motorboat' noise. She has also discovered not one, but two hands. She's not quite sure who they belong to, but she is fascinated by them, none the less. Here's a short video clip where she is making her motorboat noise, which is then interrupted with the rediscovery of her hand, followed by her rediscovery of the motorboat!

Updated Posts

I just took the time to quickly publish a few drafts I had started over the weekend but hadn't finished. We should now be caught up, for those of you who have been anxious for updates... :) Just scroll down to get caught up!

I found my hands!

Over the past several weeks, Daisy has discovered her hand. I have been trying to collect pictures without her noticing...






This time she caught me taking pics:
And finally, here's one from this morning:

Happy Daisy

I know I owe an update soon of the new year, but for now, two short videos from just now.

While we ate dinner tonight, Daisy cooed to us and "played" her keyboard.


Isn't she precious?

Sunday

We had church again in Jax, and it was super cold outside. BRRRRRR!

Here is Daisy bundled up to go:

Everyone loved her hat:

Leaving church:

After church, we watched the Bears. They won! :)
Daisy then played her musical toy while we got some things done to get ready for tomorrow. Back to a regular week of work!

New Years Weekend

Yesterday (Friday) we slept in and did a lot of relaxing and watching football. We did some housework, but mostly relaxed. After all, it was a holiday.

David made some yummy burgers for dinner. Mine had avacado on it:

Our friends Ben and Anna were in town for a wedding and spent the night at our place. David made a tasty French toast breakfast this morning using a recipe he saw watching Food Network.

Later in the day, we took naps on the couch and watched some more football. There were a lot of good games this weekend, with a lot of bad kicking. So many teams won/lost because of missed field goals and extra points!

Here's David and Daisy snuggling

Then Daisy took a nap on my shoulder:
Great day, staying warm inside relaxing as a family.

Happy New Year

We went to the Staats' home tonight and watched the Hokies dominate Tenneessee before playing some Wii and ringing in the new year.

Go Hokies! All dressed up in our fan gear:
