quatre mois

Bon Voyage Papa et Maman!

We celebrated the completion of Korrali's 4th month by.. 

• Beginning watching a new friend (a slightly special needs young lady in our ward) every afternoon  after school 
• Initiating a weekly babysit swap with a little boy a few months older than Korrali (I just realized all her baby friends are boys... I think I feel a tom-boy coming up.)
• Taking her swimming, and dipping her head under! (She did great!! Thanks, Auntie 'Lena for the tips on how!)
• Speaking to her in English, French, and mixing in Spanish (I sure hope she doesn't get hopelessly confused!)
• Flying to California for her Auntie Debbie's wedding - she loved the flight over, and all the new people and places. She didn't take more than a total of 1 hour of naps every day we were there until after the wedding.. but she didn't even complain. That's my girl. 

I had to include a picture of my radiant sister. She is so gorgeous.

• Amongst the many new things, Korrali got to see a real live bride! I feel sort of guilty, at being able to enjoy my sister's wedding without doing anything to help with it, but more excited for Debbie!

We hung out with Grandpa Henderson on his birthday

• Korrali met so, so many new faces, and some already known and loved ones too. My Dad's birthday was the day before the wedding.
• At the reception, she learned she loves Party Rock (but really, who doesn't?), slow dancing with Daddy, and table dancing in general.

She loved Auntie Michelle's lap

Her favorite Auntie, Anna, watched her while we were in the Temple

• She met some of our best Fargo friends (they and their adorable little boy moved to California), and she discovered the Ocean!
• Oh yeah, she had her visit to the pediatrician too...

All 25 in, 13 lb 7 oz of her crashed out hard after the shots

Stumped

A question has been bothering me, nagging at me for a little over a week. It's starting to get a little serious. So I want to pose it to all of you and see what you think...

That question is:
Where has all the Tupperware gone???
At one time, not long ago, we had it coming out of our ears.
We bought 2 of these:

at costco a while back... and This is the state of the cupboard now: one medium tall purple box, one flat one, one short green one, one square one, one small bowl.
There is one large box with a handle on the counter with cookies in it.
There is one flat boxy purple one in the fridge, one in the freezer. I lent two of them out with food in them. Where have the other three gone?? And what about the 10 little round ones? One in the cupboard, one in the freezer, two in the fridge, one in the dishwasher. And the other five??? I know where one other of the squares are, and where the large flat one is.. and where one of the two larger bowls are. But the remainder?
 For the life of me, I don't know where it all could be.
Thoughts anyone??

Maybe, there is a little fairy who has decided I need to buy GLASSERWARE! or glass tupperware whatever you call it. And so this kind fairy is stealing all my plastic ones. It could be a sign.

Hats!

Today we went to go get a Sun Hat for Korrali. We often take her to the park or to the pool, but that sweet little girl's eyes are just too sensitive for the bright sun. Lianna's friends said she got a Sun Hat that was very cute and a good deal at Meijer, so we went looking for one. This is what we found. She's a pretty cute little girl!

a mishmash of summer activities

Look, we went swimming. And the water was so nice, we all enjoyed it.

Korrali took a little while to get used to the water, but once she did, she really enjoyed it too.

Then, JD's cousin and her husband stopped by on their way across the country - and we are so glad they could drop by and stay with us! Elena has baby magic - the moment she picked up Korrali our little girl giggled and belly laughed until she got the hiccups.. and she just loved her Auntie. 

On Tuesday we (our family, Elena and Aaron, and Katie, Logan, Ali and Eli ) went to Cantighny - a beautiful historical place that used to belong to Colonel Robert R. McCormick. We had so much fun playing with Logan and Ali and Eli, and enjoyed the wonderful cool weather.
