Hollywood

For as long as we've been together, Aaron has called me Hollywood when I put my sunglasses on top of my head, and on occasion even when I'm just wearing them. Alyssa has picked up on this and says it sometimes too, so that seemed like an appropriate title for a blog with photos of the girls hamming it up in sunglasses.

In keeping with the Hollywood theme, here's the latest out of Alyssa's mouth...while looking through a catalog of birthday party themes for her birthday, there was one with Justin Bieber. I asked her if she liked Justin Bieber, to which she replied "Yes, I like Justin Bieber" (she had said she liked everything). I told her to go tell Aaron; when she did, he laughed and said "No, you don't like Justin Bieber". Her response "I do." This was a few days ago, and then tonight, she came upstairs to tell me "Daddy tell me I no like Justin Bieber. But I do like Justin Bieber." The best part is, I don't think she's ever heard his mustic.

The sunglasses pics were taken this morning. We took advantage of a sunny morning today by going for a bike ride on the White Pine Trail by Rockford. We planned ahead and went to mass Saturday night (something we decided we would never do again) and then enjoyed a morning of family time. I took Lauren on the back of my bike for the first half of the trip and Aaron had Alyssa in the buggy, and then we switched. Lauren fell asleep on the way back to the car, and Alyssa complained that her tummy hurt but aside from that it was nice to get out and get some fresh air.

After the walk, we enjoyed a leisure stroll through downtown Rockford, checking out the swans, kayakers, and beautiful scenery. The girls posed for some fun pics that we thought we'd share with all of you.









I love days like this!
