Little Pumpkin

I took these pictures of Julia before we went to church tonight.

For the past month or so Julia has adamently protested going to the nursery. Her Mother's Day Out classroom is the same classroom that she has Sunday School and Wednesday night nursery in so I know it's not a "bad association" or anything with the room. I don't know what her deal is. She flipped out so bad tonight that Michael couldn't even leave her so we ended up heading home after dinner instead of staying for Bible study.

Since I got my new camera Michael has been interested in photography. He met us outside when we pulled up from church (we took seperate cars since he went straight from physical therapy) and asked if he could take our picture. I'm afraid we may have created a monster, but at least maybe there will be some pictures of me now!

This was closer to the face we saw at church. This time she was having a hissy fit because she couldn't get the locked door open on her car!

You'd never know she was in the middle of a hissy fit here!

Model in Training

I took this pictures of Julia outside this morning before we left for school. I think she was channeling her inner Sarah  and avoiding eye contact! 

I ordered a white background a couple of weeks ago to play around with, however I hadn't gotten it out of the box until today. These are definitely no where near good "technical" pictures, but I love that they capture her 2 favorite things - Mickey and the iPad (which is playing a Mickey Mouse movie!)

After we put Julia in her PJ's she usually crawls up in her daddy's lap and watches TV for a little while before we put her to bed. Tonight she crawled up in his lap and fell straight asleep! She was worn out! It must have been a rough day at school! :)

Her own Mickey

Michael and I "slept in" until 9:00 this morning (8:00 our time). Funny how that would have been considered early not too long ago. We went to the World of Coke this morning, then got some lunch and found a toy store to get Julia a "prize". I wanted to go to the Disney store to get her a Mickey doll, but it was a little drive in the opposite direction we were going so we found a toy store and they had a Mickey doll for her! She has carried him everywhere tonight say "ickey! ickey!". :)

Opening her present

Calling Toodles!

Wicked!

Julia's Halloween costume came this week so I took the opportunity this morning to try it on. She's going to be the cutest dog ever! The funniest thing is when I put the head part on she started barking! 

After we tried her costume on we got dressed and played outside for a few minutes. We can't go outside without getting in her car. She goes straight to it every time. When we got ready to leave Michael told her to get in the car and she got in HER car instead of MY car! 

Next we dropped Julia off at GranDi and Grandad's and Michael and I were off to Atlanta! 

 We checked into our hotel and walked around for a little while before it was time to get ready for dinner. We ate dinner at Prime Meridian. We had a nice little view for dinner! 

Then we headed over to the Fox Theatre for Wicked! We both really enjoyed it, but it took a while to get going. The first half was kinda slow getting going, but the second half flew by. We had planned to go get dessert after the show, but between Wicked being in town, Midtown Music Festival and the Southern University V FAMU game at the Georgia Dome Atlanta is crazy! Instead we opted for pj's, football and room service!

Priss Pot

I took these pictures tonight while I was practicing with my new camera. She may look prissy, but I couldn't keep her out of the dirt!

New Camera!

Pop dropped Julia off at school today with NO CRYING! I'm so happy she seems to be finally warming up to school.

I always tell Nana and Pop "thank you" when we leave in the afternoons. Today I picked up Julia to leave and told her to tell Nana "bye" and she said "Bye! Thank you!". I'm glad she's picking up on some good habits and learning her manners young!

No afternoon is complete without a little Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Julia can reach the DVD player and TV in  the extra room and pushes the buttons on both of them to try to turn Mickey on. If she could just figure out which buttons to turn on the DVD we would have less melt downs!

Michael ordered me a new camera, the Nikon D5100, online last night so he went to Best Buy to pick it up after dinner tonight! Julia was already asleep when he got back but I had to take a picture of SOMETHING so I snapped some of her snoozing in her crib. I can't wait to play with it more tomorrow!

   

Silly Hat

Julia got these hats out of the bottom of my closet this afternoon. She walked around with one of them on all afternoon and insisted on taking one with her when we went to dinner at MomAnnette's. Silly girl!
