From Snow to..
a warm day! Just 4 days after the snow, we're able to enjoy a day at the park in almost 60 degree weather! Wish it would hang around longer, but it's already cooler today. Oh well, spring is only 2 months away! Daddy wasn't feeling well so Mommy and I left the house to let him rest up. Mommy took a photography class in the morning so she was ready to practice what she had learned. Here's some of the best ones (out of over 30! Practice makes perfect, right?)

A Day of Two Firsts
It was my first snowy day AND my first presidential Inauguration! Because of the massive amount of snowfall (about 3 inches- do you sense my sarcasm?), Winthrop University closed for the day, so Daddy was able to stay home (woo-hoo!). Look at the snow out our window!
After a delicious breakfast of Inauguration day waffles (Mommy almost dyed them blue and red, but Daddy said no), we journeyed outside to the snow.
Our neighbor, Sherry, came over with Smoky the dog and took our first family picture in snow- Thanks Sherry!
I would have stayed out all day in it if Mommy and Daddy would let me! I told Daddy that I wanted to move somewhere that it snowed more often.
I kept asking to do a snow angel (after reading The Snowy Day), but I didn't want to lay down in the snow, so Mommy did it for me and got a nice wet back.
Last, but certainly not least, we welcomed a new President- Barack Obama! And I enjoyed watching some of the Inauguration with Mommy and Daddy although it was boring at times for me- Mommy picked me up once and said, "You can do whatever you want, Eleanor" and I replied, "Down, please." For now, I just wanted to play by myself. Tomorrow, I'll start my bid to be President of the United States.Saturday, January 17, 2009
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
I am becoming a pretty good singer, so Mommy tried to get me to sing for the camera. I have a little trouble sitting still, but here it goes:

Have you SEEN it lately?
Not sure how many people know, but I have a 2-colored eye. Mommy finally got a good picture of it so I wanted to show it off to you. Pretty cool, huh?Also, gracias (thank you) to my Godmother Erin Tieman, who sent me this awesome farm that teaches me spanish! Time to take the laundry choo-choo and help Mommy!

Look who's in...
..pre-school now!! That's right- me! I started on Monday (which was also Mommy and Daddy's 7th Anniversary- congratulations!) at St. John's Methodist in downtown Rock Hill and I'm loving it!Check out all these cool new toys I get to play with! I also get to learn Spanish and continue Kindermusik that Mommy and I had been doing together.
Daddy dropped me off and picked me up on my first day and I was already saying "hola" and "rojo" to him (which is hello and red for the non-Spanish speakers out there). Also, I'm really good at repeating what the teachers said because here's what else I told Daddy: "Eleanor, sit on bottom" and "Eleanor, no table". Mommy asked my teacher, Miss Kimberly, about it and apparently I was not supposed to be sitting on the table or trying to stand on it as well. I'm learning how to act in a social setting, so give me time! Thanks also to MaGa and Grandpa Gette for the beautiful plant/flowers for Mommy and Daddy plus the cool teddy bear that came along with it. It was very sweet of you both.

My Famous Daddy
Just wanted to tell you about an article that my Daddy was interviewed for- check it out here!
Happy New Year at the Zoo!
Welcome to 2009! I'm looking forward to many adventures that will be coming my way this year. Thanks to my Mommy and Daddy who will share them with you and to all my wonderful friends and family who read my blog. I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks to Uncle Andre, Aunt Heidi and Cousin Memphis, we have a zoo membership so we drove the hour or so to the Columbia Riverbanks Zoo last Tuesday. It was the last night of the Christmas lights and we didn't want to miss it!
The pink flamingos are loud and stinky, but I enjoyed looking at them:

I was excited to see the elephants, but they were ready to eat and hanging out by their door. I was "All done" with them after 2 minutes (Mommy thinks I wanted to go back to the penguins!)
Mommy and I took our photo with this tiger- luckily he's just a statue because I don't think a live one would have let us sit on him.
After dark, you can still see the fishes and I was enthralled! Mommy and Daddy could have walked away and I was happy to watch the fishes. Do you think it's time to go visit Cousin Mikayla in Baltimore and go to the Aquarium, huh?
Wish I could make a real one of these around here- maybe in February! Bye-bye, snowman, I had a great time at the zoo!
