Lipani Family: My Quest for 365

February 8th

Michael has been playing tennis like crazy. I haven'tbeen able to go to many matches because of the cold weather and the kids. I went today and just grabbed this shot of him. Good shot, Baby!

February 7th

Jack's first birthday! Doesn't every kid have a picture like this?!

February 6th

This is LOVE! Michael made Jack DeFusco's first birthday cake. This is a picture of Michael making the marshmallow fondant. Anyone who knows Michael knows how much he HATES to be sticky. This is the epitomy of sticky!!

February 5th

We had a Valentine decorating party at my office. We made cards and bags for Seniors and kids at Children's Hospital. It was so much fun to spend time with my guy!

February 4th

This is the adorable outfit Aunt Tara sent Maren for Christmas. I wanted to take a picture because she loves it and we have worn it over and over. Thanks Aunt T! She also eating her new favorite snack-- crackers! They make everything all better.

February 2nd

This Maren's baby, Abby. She loves her dolls!

February 1st

William took these "dress up" photos at school. I didn't buy any because they were so expensive and we're getting ready to take cap & gown pictures. William saw the order form back in his school bag and he wanted to know why I didn't like his pictures. He was upset that I didn't buy any of them. I told him I did get one of his pics because I took a picture of them and I LOVED them! These pictures crack me up!!!

January 30th

Daddy's Girl!

(I missed taking a photo on the 29th and 31st.)

January 28th

Maren realizing she LOVES strawberries!

January 26th

Maren forced her way into the shower with me-- all dressed in her diapers and jammies. She stood at my feet and cried until I picked her up and then continued to fuss when the water hit her. I don't know why she was dying to get in in the first place! It made for a great start to the morning!

January 25th

I just love those big blue eyes!

January 24th

This was Maren's silent protest in the middle of an aisle at Costco. She wanted to get out of the cart, but evidently I didn't get her out the way she wanted me to get her out.

January 23rd

January 22nd

This is the "after" photo from Maren's first haircut. We had Mrs. Judy cut it at school. I was sad to see all of her curls go, but I'm hopeful that they'll grow back!

January 21

One of our friends who is a Realtor uses the catch phrase, "A Realtor to Crow about" because her last name is Crowe. We found this rooster in SS and he became our mascot for the trip. We bought him on MLK day so we named him Luther.

January 20th

It was inauguration day and Ellen is the only Democrat among us (admitted, Democrat). Her house was a few blocks away and she walked over with this sign she pulled out of the paper. She had had enough of our bashing!

January 19th

Me & the lovely Paula Driggers in SS

January 18th

St. Simons, GA

I love the mossy trees in St. Simons. It reminds me of Louisiana!

January 17th

We're a Coke family again!

January 16th

Seriously? This is supposed to be the South!

January 15th

Can you see her ponytail? It was quite a struggle, but I did it!!

January 14th

Me reading Will a book while he's in the tub.

***There was supposed to be a video right here, but after a few unsuccessful attempts to load it I have given up. So that's the January 13th photo/video.

January 12

Maren feeding herself yogurt

January 11th

We went to DACKids and met up with William's friend Mason. This is the only picture of the two of them together. Unfortunately, William had just bumped his mouth so he looks less than thrilled in this picture.

January 10th

Our tour of St. Catherine of Siena

William thought the lockers were so cool!

January 9th

It was so cold!!

January 8th

This is outfit number 3 she has on since the day started. While we were at the gym in outfit number I left the cap off my water bottle, it spilled and Mae sat in it. These are William's pants. She looked like ghetto baby with the top and bottoms rolled up.
