July 20, 2010: Playing dress up

Annika has a new babysitter who is wonderful. Her name is Pati and her daughter is Karen. Annika is happy to go to their house in the morning and is always smiling when I pick her up in the afternoon. Yesterday Karen and Pati dressed Annika up in some very fancy jewelry and took her photo.

Here are four videos. I know it's a lot, but each one is about 20 seconds.

Happy 4th of July!

We went to the Alameda parade with Annika. They set up the judge stand across the street from our apartment so it's impossible to miss it. Annika fell asleep about 10 minutes into the parade, though.
