Ice Cream

I'm sure Hollis isn't supposed to have ice cream. It WAS McDonalds "non-dairy" ice cream, but honestly it's coming from McDonalds, so that's a little suspect to me. Anyways, Neal doesn't obey "baby food rules" so Hollis got her first tastes of ice cream. She love, love, loved it, and it had no adverse affect on her...other than the desire for more.

Design Fever

I have an addiction problem to my computer, design blogs, furniture websites and paint websites. I have the itch to redo our family room (whole house). Problem(s): 1) money: it'd be sweet to have $100,000 to just go out and buy everything I wanted immediately, but it's never going to happen 2) husband: Neal and I don't share the same flare for design. I want my house to look like the cover of Elle Decor or Domino, Neal wants our house to look like the cover of Hunter's World or Functional, but Not Cute (ok, lame title for a made-up magazine). 3) time: the process is FUN for me--being creative on how to have cute pieces on a dime, Neal sees any kind of process as a bother and wants the job done immediately. I take a long time, he takes 5 minutes. 

I don't know how to rectify my problems, but turning OFF the computer would be a start...

Trip to DC

Hollis and I went to DC to visit! We got to go to a training camp practice.

Here is where my dad does his press conferences each day (check out Redskins.com). The black all-purpose carpet just got replaced because my dad was frustrated at the leftover cake residue from that guy who got the cake in his face.

The four chairs are the chairs for the owners and other important people. They like to watch practice on most days. Jason Taylor is the player standing there talking to them. He was dancing for them. Oh wait, no he wasn't.

In the limo on the way to the game. 

Hollis wore such a pretty dress to the game. 

Hail to the Redskins!

We are so proud of my dad and the whole team for doing such a great job at the Hall of Fame game tonight! Yahoo! Hollis had a costume change at half time. She started the first half in her pink jersey/onesie and finished in her cheerleader outfit. What a diva.

Summer at the beach

In the evening Hollis gets cranky, so to distract her we like to go on walks. The other night I was having hot flashes because it was so stuffy in our house, so we tried to cool down by sitting at our beach park for a while. Neal took some cute pics.

More adventures with food

It seems like the best pictures come from Hollis eating. This is my favorite. 

Whistler

We got to go to Whistler with the Zorn-side of the family. It was really fun. Neal got to downhill mountain bike each day, and I even went for a day. It was way more fun than I thought, and I'd really like to do it again. Hollis did great. She loves to swim! I don't have many pictures from the trip (my mom and sisters took a bunch and eventually I'll get some), but here are two that drew some funny attention.
