Who's that girl?

Maya is getting so big, sometimes I hardly recognize her.

Tex-Mex

Like a true Texan, Maya loves her Mexican food so much she gave a hair toss.

Snow Day!

It started to snow as Maya and I were coming home from work/school, and by 9:30 pm, it actually covered the ground. This almost never happens here!

Sneaking Snacks

Maya devised a very strategic way to get to the potato chips on the counter. She pushed the step ladder through the kitchen, honed in on the exact spot, and climbed right up. Time to watch what we keep on the counter...or hide the step ladder.

Duck Invasion

Maya had fun feeding the ducks...until one of them bit her finger!

We came home to a big mess, but things eventually returned to normal.

Stranded in New Jersey

Our trip home was delayed by Hurricane Ike, so we spent three days in a New Jersey hotel room. Maya did her best to entertain herself.
