Tigger Goes to School

Mama Tigger and I headed to North Carolina for a quick trip to visit Autie M's (aka Ms. Thoms') third grade class this week. Auntie M got a quick fix of quality time with Tigger...

Here is a cute one of Mama Tigger and Tigger in the cafeteria. It was LOUD, but the kids were so funny - fighting to sit next to Mama Tigger and I...

I think I did something "wrong" and Auntie M is repremanding the students. Oops. (BTW, check out the great decorations in the room - way to go Auntie M!)

Mama Tigger and I helped the kids write letters to President Obama, promising to "hand-deliver" them to the White House. Here is the pic confirming "delivery" (we had the kids sign the envelope so they could identify it in the pic...).

Thanks for showing off your students, Ms. Thomas!

Paris

So, we're a little late in posting our Paris pics, but here they are. Papa Tigger, Tigger and I spent two weeks in France (we returned about a week ago). I had to go to Paris for work and we added a week on for vacation.

Here's Papa Tigger and me at Notre Dame:

And me and Tigger at the top (well, more the middle) of the Eiffel Tower:

Me enjoying some crepes. The food was so good there!!

Here's the onesie we bought Tigger; even though s/he won't remember his/her time in Paris, we thought it was a cute keepsake:

After Paris, Papa Tigger and I headed to the French Riveria. Here's Tigger and me enjoying the water:

In St. Tropez, there was some sort of kid's carnival going on. Can you believe we found Tigger in France?!?

Papa Tigger and me at one of the lovely sunsets:

Finally, me and Tigger on the plane, heading home:

Austin + BBQ

Add another to the list! Mama Tigger and I headed to Austin to see our niece, Cassidy. Oh, and we saw the rest of her fam as well (mom aka G-Ma C, brother, sister-in-law, and uncle). It was fun - checked out G-Ma C's new carpet, ate some REAL Texas bbq (twice!), and made the traditional trek to Cheesecake Factory (Michael and Lorelei's favorite restaurant). We were there to celebrate Michael and Lorelei's birthday, technically. But really, it was a trip designed to get some practice in.

Here we are playing on the cows.


Tigger has some family competition on the cuteness metric...
Uh oh...
She was pretty shy much of the weekend - no memories of the fun we had at Christmas. Mama Tigger was able to hold her though, using raisins as a bribe (note to self - bribery is a tool, not a felony)...

We also made a trip to Babies 'R Us, where Mama Tigger got a much-enjoyed tour of the premises by Lorelei. Mama Tigger had just finished the Consumer Reports Guide to the Best Baby Products, so it was helpful to get some hands-on training. I already believe we are over-thinking what to buy, but comments to that affect are met with ire from Mama Tigger...

Places Tigger Has Been

So, this is evolving to an electronic baby book - something Tigger can look back on to learn about his/her pre-born "life". I thought it would be fun to log the places s/he has been so far!

Ideally, I would like to add a map to the sidebar with push pins, but I haven't found the right widget yet. For now, it'll be a list...

1. Washington, DC
2. Dallas, TX
3. Miami, FL
4. Cayman Islands
5. Jamaica
6. Boston, MA
7. San Francisco, CA
8. Queens, NY (JFK)

Knowing Mama Tigger's insatiable need to travel, more is undoubtedly to come...
