Just Another Day

No....not a member of the Disney family....a whole different mouse.....still Oola does like to go to Chuck E Cheese. Today she and Claudia were invited to a birthday party -- and enjoyed cake and pizza (I suspect) as well as some car

racing...."because if you ain't first, you're last." She is not afraid of the characters and loves the singing and chaos of being around lots of people. Especially when she's the center of all of the attention.....

It also looks like she politely wished the guest of honor a happy birthday. I have no idea who that kid is. It's fun to check the camera to see what everyone did today -- certainly never a dull moment for Claudia and Oola!! They are always up to something new and pictures like these make me laugh and wonder what is on the agenda for tomorrow!

Cowbells and Earmuffs

Another sunny afternoon here in beautiful Southern California. After homemade pancakes and a bath, here's how we started the day:

So we thought this would be a fitting beginning for our blog where we will share our adventures at our home in Stevenson Ranch. Click here to access the complete photo collection; so if you only have a couple minutes, we recommend following us here for the highlights. Please feel free to post comments; we would love to hear from you.

It's been a busy couple of weeks -- during a quick visit to see the grandparents in Wisconsin, Oola got to see the beautiful fall colors and lots of Canadian geese. And, of course, she tried a little fried cheese -- it's Wisconsin!!!

Oola and Claudia visited one of their favorite places -- the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum. Oola loves to let out her inner cowgirl -- explore the belt buckle collection and pretend to ride the old locomotives.
