Molly-buns

17 Jun 2008 by Jessica

Molly’s latest nickname is Molly-buns. She is so cute I just want to eat her up like a Cinnabon.

She just started wearing double pig-tails and clips, it is so fun having a girl around!

Her first word is offically “Ah-Oh”. It seems appropreiate for her as she is always trying to get into everything.

She is really experimenting with her expressions. She has a pair of “crabby eyes” that come out quite often but they never seem to last very long, as seen in this set of photos.

I just put on my \'angry eyes\'.
Happy Now!

She is an avid reader loves to point out the pictures and “talk” about the story. She loves to play “chase” with Dad. She squeals with delight as her shoulders tense up with giddy anticipation of her roaring Daddy catching her as she wobble-runs away. Molly turned the tables on Pete as she roared at him in the photo below.

Roar Daddy!

Father’s Day

16 Jun 2008 by Jessica

Peter was presented with a homemade breakfast smoothie and a plate of bacon for his Father’s Day Breakfast. I did wonder if giving him a heart attack on a plate was actually a gift or not but none the less it was readily devoured.

After church services we went to Prior Lake to celebrate with my folks Dennis and Lucy Kender and part of Pete’s family, Phil (dad) and John (brother) McWilliams. We ate Davanni’s pizza lunch followed by games at the beach topped off with make your own sundaes/cones.

We gave my Dad a keg of Virgil’s Root-beer so some of us had root-beer floats. It was sweet to have my Dad, Father-in-law and my baby Daddy all in the same place to celebrate their lives and thank them for all that they do to contribute in my life and the life of my kids.

Grandpa Time

12 Jun 2008 by Jessica

Papa Phil McWilliams and Ryan had a boys night this evening. Papa brought Ryan out to a dinner of Ry’s choice which of course was McDonald’s Play-land. After supper they went to a show at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul called, Walking with the Dinosaurs. Here is a Today Show news clip about the show. Ryan was raving about the “dino robots” and will be talking about this show for a long time.

Fujiya

12 Jun 2008 by Jessica

Soba noodles, tempura and sushi….mmmmmmmmm! I was fortunate enough to help Janielle Batchelder soon to be Janielle Nordell (Ben) celebrate her upcoming marriage with a bachelorette dinner at a restaurant called Fujiya.

The food was delicious and brought me very much back to my days living in Japan where my apartment was 1/2 block from a noodle shop. Remember the louder you slurp your noodles the bigger the compliment to the chef!
