Lake Trip 2011

First, i just wanted everyone to know Hopie is fine as i suspected- that little stinker.
I have been meaning to post photos from our trip to the lake over the 4th, but have not gotten on-the-ball until now. We had such a blast with all the awesome toys and I even learned how to wake board!
This is Hope on her training ski. Nana is pulling her behind the sea-doo. Albert did it behind the boat this year, wish I had a picture of that too.


This is the trampoline that I was determined to get, but it doesn't bounce! The slide is fun though...


And Albert...





And Hopie learned to do it all by herself.





Sister and Brad... I never post boyfriends, so maybe this means he's a keeper?


They taught me how to wakeboard... That's me in the water!!



And nana bought Al the coolest fishing pole that had a rubber fish on the end in place of thr hook so he could fish in limited danger.


And hope sharing drinks with Papa.


Life Is Good!!

Poison

No, this is not an ode to Bell Biv Devoe. I took Hope to work this morning because my babysitter is on vacation and Nonnie's flight didn't get in until 10am. While I was working on a project Hope busied herself with items in this office- markers, paper, index cards, and a little black plastic triangular dish that she found on the window sill. And here is where we ended up...









I discovered after about 30-45 min that the black dish was labeled POISON. The washU EMTs and environmental health mob showed up and insisted we take a trip next door to Children's ER even though I wasn't sure she had even ingested the poison-- better safe than sorry. Hopefully the 48 hour blood tests will be clear and all will be well. Hope was exhausted after the fiasco was over...
