The cutest little girl in the cutest clothes ever.

"Gamma Gappa" and Fossil Rim

Semira's new grandma and grandpa came to visit for a week at the end of June. We had a very nice time, and Semira really enjoyed having them around. She couldn't stop talking about "Gamma Gappa." In the photo above she's helping her dad escort "Gamma" to the car.

We spent the early morning of July 4 at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center doing their Crack o Dawn Tour. Semira thought the animals were really neat. Except the ostrich... she was scary. We got to feed European red deer and giraffes by hand, and the ostriches took food we put on the side of the bus. If you've never been there, consider a trip!

The happy couple with Semira and family

Semira thoroughly enjoyed the wedding. She got to have her photo taken a zillion times, be the center of attention for family and friends, and dance with her daddy.

Weekend in Houston

Semira enjoyed her weekend. She spent Saturday at her Aunt Pauline's graduation and after-party. She also acquired her first black eye while running through Aunt Pauline's house. She tripped and landed face first on a stair. It doesn't seem to be bothering her, but I had to document this first for posterity.




She spent today firmly entrenched in her terrible twos, as you can see from the doggie door photo. But I did manage to catch her practicing naming body parts... shoulders, hips, and toes!

Cow

Semira switched day care facilities (schools) at the beginning of the month. I'm very happy with the new school, and she seems to love it. They do lots of really cool stuff with the kids. These pictures are from the on-site field trip they had today. They brought in a petting zoo for the kids. Semira's favorite must have been the cow standing next to her. She kept saying 'cow' until bedtime.

A week of Easter

Semira has now had two Easter egg hunts. And it's not even the weekend yet! These are photos from her first hunt on Tuesday at the city park.
