Straightening Daddy's Hair

Straightening Daddy's Hair

From day one I have always encouraged Bruce to take a fairly active role in his daughter's life. Encouraging bonding from that 1st day in Tbilisi. It was important to me that they thrive and not just survive should any thing ever happen to me. I also know from first hand experience that it will effect her life as an adult. It will effect her relationships throughout her life and it was important that I know she will make wise choices. Having a positive male role model is important. Pretty heavy stuff for a 4 year old huh?

Ok.. enough serious stuff I just wanted to bring this point up.. well you'll see what daddy is willing to put up with. ;o)

Hi Mama.. We're watering the driveway.

Relaxing on the front porch in Mommy's lap.

A visit to my parents house.

Tea time

Tea with Deedee

With Baba

Some of you may remember this outfit from our trip to Tbilisi.

"See spots run" the day we spent at the passport office. She's wearing this sitting in the car in my lap. I mention this as some seem to be under the impression that she never wears the same thing twice? See she does.

Love those curls

Being cute with Deedee. My father just adores her. It's really sweet.

OK.. if there was ever a question as to if Tamara and her Dada have bonded..

well watch this.. and you tell me.

Sorry for the delay. We'll try and catch up before the year is out.

I'll post a bunch of pictures with a brief description and then I'll explain why Mommy needed a Time Out!

Below Tamara's 1st preschool class trip happen to land on Mommy's Birthday.

Perfect .. I get to pretend I'm 4 again. What could be better?

Bruce took the day off to spend it with his girls.

Tamara and Zach hit the roller coaster. Weeeee

Tamara waves. She loves rides... think we may have a bit of a dare devil?

Even then she wanted nothing to do with the Jolly fat guy?
