Amundsons

For thanksgiving this year we got to head out to NY and spent some time with the fam.  Papi took the kiddos to the horse farm at the college and they got to ride horses that were not attached to a Merry-go-round.    The matching jammie photo. 

Andie has taken our pictures for two years.  Here and Here.   We thought it might be fun to try one of our favorite places in St. Louis this year.   And yep I am currently mesmerized with orange and pink (why oh why do they make me so happy!?!??!?!) 

Claire turned 3 meaning: the jig is up!  No more waking in the middle of the morning to stumble down the stairs for warm Aunt Abby pancakes... no more hanging out watching Max and Ruby in her PJ's til noon ... no more because you are heading to school.  We drop both girls off in the morning at school together.  Matching coats in case they get separated, obviously.   But the preschool brings her home on a preschool bus.  It seems crazy that she is 3 and riding a bus, however it is only other 3 year olds on the bus and she can throw a mean elbow.   So she got off the bus and like any mom I immediately bombarded her with questions:  Did you meet a friend?  Was your teacher nice?  Did you play games?  Do you know the capitol of Illinois yet?  However the only thing I got out of her was, "I need cheese."  Don't we all Claire, don't we all. Beautiful Bear!
