Gymnastics

Audrey just finished up her first gymnastics series at the Seattle Gymnastics Academy.

We may have an Olympic-caliber trampoliner on our hands.

Besides the trampoline, Audrey's favorite part of gymnastics is the stamps.

We celebrated the last class with a jar of bubbles from Coach Tara, and a final Ta-da.

Twirling

There is nothing like a tutu to make a girl want to twirl.

Children's Hospital

Yesterday Audrey took her first trip to Children's Hospital, but luckily she wasn't a patient. The hospital puts on a great Children's health fair. She got to try out a finger cast, tour an operating room (complete with an arthroscopic video of her dirty ears broadcast to the entire room full of other parents!), run the obstacle course, and try out being a patient and the driver of an ambulance. She was also fitted for a bike helmet and life jacket. Now we just need some sunshine so we can use them!

Bouncy House

Audrey has found the perfect outlet for her love of jumping.

Song Writer

Since I started taking guitar lessons, Audrey has been even more excited about music and singing. So much so, that we bought her her own guitar as an insurance protection plan to keep Aunt Janet's guitar intact while I am borrowing it. Here's Audrey B with a little musical back up to some of her favorite songs. The first one, or course, is my favorite. She made it up herself!

Pasta Time

My cousin Gabie (a.k.a daddy's Goddaughter) has been giving daddy a hard time because one of her friends makes homemade pasta.

Well have a look at what daddy and I did on New Year's Eve. Delicious homemade ravioli stuffed with roasted chicken, Gruyere, and brussel sprouts, served with a simple marinara. Yummy and so fun to make.

I got to wear my new apron. My apron is really special, it even has my last name on it - Williams . . . . (and Sonoma).

Merry Christmas & Happy 2011!
