"My Pay Hide Daddy"

One of Sofia's favorite "games" to play (or pay as she says it) is hide and seek under a big gray blanket we have with no one else but her dad. patrick showed her how to play this game, so now she will only play it with him and she likes to play it often, so one night while they were hiding on the floor in the living room, and sofia was giggling like i have never heard her giggle before, i had to get the camera out to capture photos of the two of them. they are too funny, two of a kind, and to her, there is no one better than her daddy!!

Girls Go Sledding!

We took the girls to Baker Mansion sledding and to play in the snow a few weeks ago. it was really a first experience for both of them. We had a pretty mild winter last year and not a lot of opportunities for sofia to get out and play in the snow. They both really enjoyed sledding. Well, sofia liked it as long as the sled was moving, but as soon as it stopped she wanted out, and wanted to run up the hill - i know you all find that hard to believe coming from sofia. annabella had a lot of fun being pulled around in her sled and really enjoyed picking up speed when i took her down a little hill, she giggling, it was so cute. hopefully the pictures will capture how much fun we had introducing the girls to the snow and to sled riding.

Picking Up Dickinson

Well, it's official - we now have another dog. Dickinson is now a part of the Fanelli Family. We went to North Carolina to pick him up, and the girls got to meet and play with him for the first time. Needless to say, they loved him, and he loved them (except when Sofia picked him up - she's still working on how to do that correctly).

Here are some pictures of their first few days together.

Meet Dickinson!

Meet the new addition to our family. Dickinson is a coton de tulear and so not planned to be a new addition to the fanelli family, but it just happened. We go to pick him up next friday in North Carolina, and i just can't wait to get my hands on him. At least Nana and Papa have him until then. We can't wait until you all can meet him to.
