rock chalk parrots!

Once the reunion ended most of us headed west to Kansas to hang out at Nathan and Erin's for a few days. When we went to campus Juliette saw some Jayhawks and said, "It's a parrot!" I concur. Anyways it was fun to spend some time in lovely Lawrence.
Little Lukey.
Bubbles and Lizzy took turns pushing each other in the stroller.
Who knew there were so many kinds of roaches?! The only kind I like is the dead kind.
Me and my namesake.
The smiling T-Rex!
In the cool black light room. "The duel must end!"
Me and a polar bear! I don't think I was supposed to touch him, thinking back on it. Oops...
Don't mess with us!
The classy-lookin' Museum of Natural History.
Erin taught me how to play the harp. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be (not that it was easy, but it wasn't like trying to play the bagpipes or something), I guess since I play the pianer. Anyways I really enjoyed playing and wish someone around here in BR had one that I could practice on.
I guess you could call me a harpy now.
On second thought, please don't.Anyways here is my debut - playing a piece called 'Sebastian' from the movie 'Brideshead Revisited'- accentuated by Becky's commentary on Nathan's book. :D

Who could resist a chocolatey Mimi face?!Partners in crime - Lydia and Matthews.
Cutie-pie Lizzy before her birthday party.
At the pool partay.
Lizzy and her cute cake!
After Lizzy opened her presents at home, we busted out her new 3D sidewalk chalk to give it a try. I tried to get some pictures of her with our artwork, and this is what I got:
Explorer Lizzy.
Space cadet Lizzy.
Grumpy face Lizzy.
Squishy-face Lizzy.
Goofball Lizzy.
Ethan and his crossbow thingy.
Lydia let me braid her hair!
So Mimi and I became best buds on this trip. Our conversations consisted of her either saying, "Hey Sarah" over and over and sticking her tongue out...

...or an insult fest in which we would say, "You're da baby!" to each other back and forth. I guess we were both right.

So that's all I've got on the reunion - I hope you're satisfied. :D

Mimi misses you. Occasionally she will try to start a "you da baby" conversation with us and she always says "sarah's da baby".

I love the many faces of Lizzy!

Nathan said...

Mimi looks as shocked as Becky was by the entry in my index! Hilarious post, Sarah. I love Jonathan's angry bear face!

Sarah said...

Awww that makes me miss her even more! Too bad I'm not there to defend myself. Tell her I said she's da baby.

Thanks for sharing these shots, Sarah. Too bad Tim and I had to miss all the fun in Lawrence. I love Lizzy's different faces on the porch.

Love your pictures Sarah! Who else would have thought to get a shot of the roaches? You captured so much about everyone: Lucy's stinkeye, Lizzy's personality, Ethan's exuberance, Jonathan's spunkiness, Lydia's prettiness and Mimi's two-year-oldness. Not bad for someone who's da baby!

I'm with you, Dad...we missed out! There's just so much here that I can't remember everything I wanted to comment on: roaches, cool stuff in the museum, awesomest summer b-day cake ever (are those graham cracker crumbs?), adorable pics of Lizzy and then Mimi's voice is just the cutest thing in this world. Great post!

Erin said...

I forgot to say how much I loved the harpy picture. If you were still at LSU I would tell you to sign up for lessons!

We have looked at this post over and over. All the kids, Joseph and I crowded around the computer last night and enjoyed it. You are hilarious! "The only roaches I like are the dead ones...!" Fun pictures, fun post! I'm sorry I talked so much in your harp debut recording...I love my BABY sister!
