The Clarinet, The Clarinet Goes Doodly-doodly-doodly-det.
Inspired by our new Baby Einstein movie, Meet the Instruments, I decided to get out my Clarinet today to show Ms. Carolyn. She enjoyed listening to Mom play--rusty though I am--and then gave it a try herself. I think she is a musical prodigy!

Where to find my Thoughts These Days
I'm revamping the intent of this blog site and moving the locale of the bulk of my ruminating.
Ruminations will continue to be the place to come to see pictures of my beautiful, adorable daughter. And it will be the place that I give family updates--tell what we're up to, how we're doing, and all of that good stuff.
But if you want to read the writing, writing, you'll have to head on over to my new blog at WordPress.
For those of you going--ok... So how many blogs does she have now? The girl is insane! Well, I'm trying to integrate all of my blogs together into this new one. So... New Way to be Human is pretty much done, this is the place for photos and updates, and new blog is the place to read the thoughts of Val--silly though they may be.
See you there!

First Ice Cream Cone
We made good on a long-standing promise to our favorite ice cream shop, to bring Carolyn in for her very first ice cream cone. She had eaten ice cream before, but never from her very own cone. The Ice Cream Shop snapped their own photo to commemorate the event, and of course, I took a few pictures of my own.
As you can see, Carolyn figured out how ice cream cones worked in a big hurry. Before we knew it, she had licked down far enough to bite into the cone, and without any instruction from us, she had! (I guess she's seen it done a few times before....).
Anyway--there's nothing better than getting sticky with ice cream and strolling along downtown.

Playing Dress up
Carolyn has been way into playing dress up lately. If there are clothes that she can reach, she WILL try them on. Here are some of our recent favorites.

More Visiting!
Pa-pa Frank, and Shari came to visit this week. Despite both Dad and I being under the weather, we all had a good time. We visited the beach and window-shopped in our favorite little town. Of course, we had to get ice cream there too.
We all wanted to go see fireworks on the 4th, but with Dad and I being sick and it being very COLD that day (in the 50s), no one wanted to stay up late to get cold. Andy and I ended up sitting on the floor of our computer room watching the neighbor's very own show across the street.
Carolyn, of course, had a ball playing with Pa-pa and Shari. She got quite spoiled with all the attention lavished upon her.
