eye of the tiger, redux

You may remember a few weeks ago when Aunt Megan sent us a tiger that dances and sings "Eye of the Tiger" (we put up a video of it). Well, now Margaux has figured out how to work the on/off button and enjoys turning the tiger on and off and on and off and on and off...

What's been happening...M's BD, words, and snow

Well, we haven't been terribly good about updating the blog lately, but we've been a tad busy. Two weeks ago, we celebrated Margaux's birthday (real b-d is on 3/12, but her mom teaches on Thursday nights, so we had a party 3/14). Margaux had a great time and enjoyed getting presents. At this stage, I believes she likes ripping up wrapping paper more than she likes playing with the enclosed toys. Here's a few b-d pics. (Thanks, Aunt Tamara for the pictures!)


First we have the birthday girl:




Then, we have the birthday cake:



She tried the cake, but didn't really eat much of it.








But overall, she had a great time at her party.

Today we're all sitting around inside because it's snowing here in Stillwater. Over breakfast this morning, I recorded Margaux and Cindy having a discussion. Pretty amusing. Also I've included a brief clip of the snow falling and M's reaction to it.
