It's a small universe...

While shopping at Costco on Sunday, who did Vienne run into, but none other than Chewbacca, Storm Trooper #5,654 and Jedi Knights, Jessup & Ernest. Guess everyone shops at Costco nowadays!

Lets swim!!

Vienne is enjoying her weekly swim lessons as evidenced by this video:

Easter 2011

This year, Easter was at Auntie Carol's and Uncle Paul's house. We had a great time, but definitely missed cousin Mike and Auntie Awa!!

Mother's Day 2011

We weren't sure how Mother's Day was going to turn out because on Saturday, Vienne wasn't feeling well. She had a high temp off and on and seemed generally cranky.

Then on Sunday, Mother's day began with Vienne and I waking up mommy - who got the rare treat to sleep in until 10am!! Vienne proudly handed over the Mother's Day card her and I made together and Danielle read it outloud proudly. Then it was off to Kettleman's bagels, where we sat for a few hours and read and ate and drank coffee and had fun hanging out as a family.

While at Kettlemans, we noticed a thick, green discharge in Vienne's eyes. After we got home, Vienne went down for a nap while we Googled the situation with her eyes. It was determined that most likely, Vienne had bacterial conjunctivitis - otherwise known as pink eye!!! How she got it, was anyone's guess. We have a doctor's appt. with her pediatrician today.

Anyhow, Vienne slept for about 3 hours and then woke up with her eyes filled with goop, preventing her from fully opening them. She looked miserable!!

The rest of Mother's day was spent relaxing and tending to Vienne's eyes. Danielle had a nice day me thinks! Now, bring on Father's Day!!

Man, I love our camera

As mentioned in the previous post, its so nice to have our still camera back in action. Video is my passion and I love it dearly, but there is something to be said from having some colorful snaps of our baby girl. Enjoy these recent pics:


The above pic was taken seconds after icy cold water hit Vienne's back!






This is one of my all-time favorite Vienne pictures. In the stroller is her newest friend, Charlotte. Its almost like Vienne is saying, "check out my friend Charlotte! She's awesome!" This was taken at Mt. Tabor Park.

Daddy time!

By the way, we recently got our still camera fixed. So expect lots more photos on the blog. Like these:

Swimming lessons!

Vienne was such a trooper during her very first swimming lesson last Sunday. Unlike all the other wee ones, she didn't cry once and had a grand ole time splashing and bobbing about in the water. She's taking her lessons at the local community center and until she's 18 months old, she's considered an "angelfish". Since she's our little angel, isn't that name so appropriate?

We'll shoot some video during this Sunday's class, but for now, enjoy these pics:
