David, Dana, & Gabby: August 2010
http://davidanddana.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 17, 2010. I'm back at work! And so far, things are going ok. Granted, school doesn't start for another week, so I still have not had the experience of teaching all day long yet. Here is the good and the bad so far. I am surviving. I don't feel overwhelmed (although perhaps I. I am feeling energized! My classroom is looking ADORABLE. I have no idea yet how functional it will be, but what started out as a bare and semi-trashy room is now a space that feels like MINE. The Not So Good:. I hav...

David, Dana, & Gabby: Wardrobe FAIL
http://davidanddana.blogspot.com/2010/04/wardrobe-fail.html
Friday, April 9, 2010. Not long ago I thought we had the issue of Gabby's clothing particularities tackled. As usual, I have to eat my words. I ATTEMPTED to go with the flow.knowing that she has a strong preference for tank tops, knit skirts, and Hello Kitty gear, much of the new spring and summer clothes I bought for Gabby are tank tops, knit skirts, and Hello Kitty gear. Silly me, these new things are NOTHING like Gabby's favorites. Apparently,. Solooks like we have a little bit of work cut out for us ...

David, Dana, & Gabby: Project pesto
http://davidanddana.blogspot.com/2010/07/project-pesto.html
Tuesday, July 6, 2010. I have a little herb garden! I needed to use up some of the basil, so I decided pesto would be the easiest solution. And bonus.Gabby LOVES pesto. It is her sauce of choice for pasta (likes it better than marinara, meat sauce, or butter/olive oil) and she also prefers it on pizza over regular red sauce. Every time we make homemade pizza, Gabby always asks, "will one of them be GREEN PIZZA? She totally chose pesto over swimming. Posing proudly with her pile of leaves-. We finally cho...

David, Dana, & Gabby: Lounge wear
http://davidanddana.blogspot.com/2010/03/lounge-wear.html
Tuesday, March 9, 2010. Ever since Gabby has been old enough to point and grunt, she has had VERY strong opinions about her attire, and she has been very vocal about those opinions. This meant that getting dressed in the morning involved terrible battles. She tends to destroy her neat piles of folded clothes in her drawers, but she does actually do a good job of gathering the clothes she wore to daycare and putting them in the laundry basket. Here are just a few examples of Gabby's DIY outfits. Exhibit E...

David, Dana, & Gabby: July 2011
http://davidanddana.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 28, 2011. As Chalna reminded me today at the pool.my last post was titled "Back to School" and here we are just a few short weeks from starting a whole new school year! But it doesn't feel like I'm having to manage/babysit a kid; she really is just my sidekick. Gabby is a social butterfly, and she adores her friends. We have spent time with Finley, Jackson, Olivia, Colin, Luke and Haydn, Ava, Erin, Connor, and Brooke this summer, and Gabby is over the moon happy everytime I tell her ab...

David, Dana, & Gabby: March 2010
http://davidanddana.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. Spring break began with a funny story. It actually was pretty effective.the socks were totally dry by the time we got there. Gross, but dry. This time I got roped into being the one to climb up with Gabby. Gabby made a new friend, and no longer wanted me to go down the slide with her. She and her friend went down the slide at least a half dozen times together. My first time down the super speed slide of death.LOVELY. Here Gabby, you want some of my juice? All of the little girls w...

David, Dana, & Gabby: Summer pics
http://davidanddana.blogspot.com/2010/08/summer-pics.html
Monday, August 9, 2010. Here are the few pics I have taken throughout the summer. This is at the end of her second round of lessons, as you can tell by the fact that she is smiling and not crying. It was a really good decision to have her take two consecutive sessions since things really started clicking for her midway through the second class. She adored those darn diving rings. She spent all of her free time in class collecting them and wearing them as crowns. At first, Gabby was too scared to go down ...

David, Dana, & Gabby: February 2010
http://davidanddana.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 15, 2010. It SNOWED last week! Thursday morning it started snowing just after 5 am and it didn't stop for one minute the entire day! David and I both left work a little early, so we still had an hour of daylight to get Gabby bundled up and have a little fun. It was snowing just a little too much for me.I enjoy playing in the snow, but not being steadily showered with it! Hard at work, playing with her beach toys in the snow. Mr Snowman and his Mini-Me. Friday morning we made snow cream:.

David, Dana, & Gabby: October 2009
http://davidanddana.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 20, 2009. This weekend Gabby got to participate in her first REAL tea party! David's mom told us that La Duni at Northpark was hosting a mother/daughter/furry friend tea party sponsored by Build-A-Bear, and it sounded right up Gabby's alley. Gabby's friend Finley is also a big tea-partier, so Christina and I brought the girls and their friends (Finley brought her Build-A-Bunny and Gabby brought her Build-A-Hello Kitty) down the the mall for some fun. One decides to jump down the stairs, ...

David, Dana, & Gabby: Say it isn't so
http://davidanddana.blogspot.com/2010/08/say-it-isnt-so.html
Friday, August 6, 2010. Say it isn't so. Today I filled up an entire day with the following:. No biggie.but then I had a scary thought. Summer is over in 10 days. In 10 days, I'll. Need to do most of those things on a daily basis, however I will. And be a parent? And take care of day to day household stuff? And still have some time for me? I know it's possible.people do it all the time. A few months ago,. I am complaining about. It gets me "out of shape" for living my normal life. In the third part, the ...
