Ziya is Three Today!!!

Ziya is three years old today. She immediately put a princess dress on and got to open one little present. She got some little teddy bear puzzles, but she hasn't played with them because the gift wrapping was embellished with a little princess lip gloss. She hasn't let go of that all day! She's having a little princess party tomorrow, so I'll post more pictures later.

She met her great grandma Elena and great aunt Yuya earlier in the week. They came over for pink pancakes for breakfast. Then she got her hair done and posed for a few pictures.

Ziya with her first present, a puzzle set. See the little lip gloss attached to it? Big hit!

Munyer, Party of Six

When I first met Jacob, he worked for United Airlines and had some flying privileges that he so graciously shared with me. Several times, we traveled standby together, and we often waited for hours and hours at airports until a flight was available for us. I LOVED it when the desk employee would shout out, "MUNYER, PARTY OF TWO!" not only because it meant that there was space for us on the flight but also because I loved being called MUNYER before we were even married (hee, hee!). Who ever would have thought back in those days so long ago that we would one day become "MUNYER, PARTY OF SIX"! I love it!
