Phoebe is 3!

The Birthday Celebration for Phoebe could not be fit into just one day, so she ended up Birthday partying for what seemed like a week.

Phoebe gets her annual measurement. See how much she has grown since she was
one year old. She now stands a long 37 inches!



Party 1:
Cupcakes with the kids at school.



We went in with the parents of other January Birthday kids for the always popular MOON BOUNCIE!



After another father got the bright idea to enter the moon bounce, Phoebe would not take no from Super Dad. After much cajoling, Super Dad entered the moon bounce in his suit, only to be taken to the mat by a bunch of daycare urchins.




Party 2:
Cookies with playgroup.



Party 3:
The Big Party, where Phoebe, T-Bone, and Ms. Andria celebrate their Birthdays together.

T-Bone sets the pins of the bowling set from Ms. Andria.



Blowing out the candle!



Party 4:
Phoebe opens presents with Super Dad and the Lady of the House. This is part of the doctor set given by Aunt Kelly and Uncle Dr. Boog.



Unwrapping a new record from Rizzo and Hone. Rogers!!!



Happy Birthday, Phoebe!

Getting ready for new baby

There is lots to do before new baby arrives. Dr. Phoebe examines new baby and the Lady of the House. Everything seems OK.

Phoebe just learned how to pedal her tricycle!

She has been braving the weather and riding all over the neighborhood and stopping to knock on her friends' doors.

Coming in from the cold to warm up with some hot jams.

What used to be the guest bedroom is now new baby's room and what used to be the guest house that we rented out, is now the guest bedroom and Super Dad's bar, Buttermaker's Lounge.


On Sunday, we had people over for the opening and T-Bone manned the bar.


Phoebe saddles up to the bar to order some fried chicken and juice.

Season's Greetings!

For Christmas we went to PA and spent the holidays with Super Dad's family. Phoebe raked it in Christmas morning:

Phoebe samples the "snowman on a stick"

red sparkle shoes from Santa


tea set from MiMi and PopPop
and the little blue car - the only gift Phoebe actually for from Santa

Phoebe gave as well as received. Here, she's helping Nana open up the bowl she made.

The Lady of the House and Super Dad took advantage the free babysitting and did some bopping around Philadelphia and Trenton.

Leftovers from DeLorenzo's Tomato Pies!!! Worth the trip from Memphis by itself!


Eet Gud bakery!

PopPop horsin' around with his granddaughter. See what happens when Phoebe's parents are away!

Last day....Phoebe says her goodbyes starting with MiMi.

and Aunt Jean.

return flight....first class! (figuratively, that is)


we flew in and out of Nashville and figured Phoebe needed some playtime before the drive back to Memphis.
