This is what 2 years gets you. Eating chocolate ice cream and talking on the phone!

Yes, the blog still lives!

Natalie is not a fan, but we had a little fun while making it.

Great time at the Detroit Zoo on Saturday!

Natalie has a new friend, and his name is ELMO!

Natalie apparently went completely nuts on Elmo today after watching twenty minutes of sesame street this morning. End result: After hours of saying nothing but Elmo, Laura went to Target and bought an Elmo doll and two DVDs.
