We’ve been living in Texas for almost three years now and I have to say, this winter seems to be the longest we’ve experienced.  We usually start experiencing spring weather as early as the days after the New Year.  Last weekend, however, we were blessed with beautiful sunshine, just warm enough to get our dusty tennis gear out of the closet.

My daughter was an eager participant, much to hubby’s and my delight.  She took tennis lessons last summer and she’s saying she wants to continue with it this summer.  Well, well, well.  We’re all for it.  We’re exposing our little girl to different sports, not so she could build muscle, but so that she can find out for herself which one she really likes.  We’re hoping she would be a lover of sports and an active lifestyle.  And it looks she’s turning into one.

Last February 9th was the 101st day of school at the elementary school my daughter attends.  Kindergarten parents were asked to dress their children in black and white as the kindergartens will be observing a 101 Dalmatians theme.  I thought that was a cool idea!  So I dressed my little girl in layers of white long-sleeved shirt and black short sleeved shirt and white skirt and tights.  I was pleasantly surprised when  my daughter got home from school…

My puppy girl! Hee hee.   This day reminded me of our very first visit to the The Long Center to watch our very first Broadway production, The 101 Dalmatians The Musical.

It was quite an experience and we had a blast.  Never mind if we were seated way up there…up where we can see everything, including all the exit signs.  We hope to catch another performance at the Long Center sometime soon.

Ruff!  Ruff!

The L’il Munchkin looks like she’s in medical assistant training school in the above photo, doesn’t she?   This was taken sometime in August at the Houston Children’s Museum.  She loved playing veterinarian at the the  make-believe vetetinary clinic.

The funny thing is, whenever I ask my daughter what she wants to be when she grows up, she always says, “I want to be an architect, just like you.”  That surprises me because it’s not as if she sees me designing houses or buildings.  Still, I can’t help but feel warm and tingly all over.  Hee hee.  She has plenty of time to decide what she wants to be.

This photo was taken on Christmas morning.  My little girl was happy to receive a salon showcase from Santa.  She really wanted the dresser with lights but the elves stopped making them due to safety reasons (read: the darned things were out-of-stock for most of the holiday season!).  Still, she was giddy with excitement with the replacement toys she got. Next year, Santa will not be caught dead scrambling for presents or falling in line before the crack of dawn for coveted toys. *cross fingers*

Last Christmas, my daughter was the very happy recipient of Zhu-Zhu pets.  Hubby and I had to fall in line at several stores at an ungodly  hour just to get our hands on those popular toys.  Because they were a bit hard to find, I got a little carried away and bought 7 of the 9 Zhu-Zhu pets.  I became a little obsessed, I guess.    In addition to the pets, we got a few accessories as well.

Now that the holiday season is over, it is easier to get a hold of these pets.  But our family is now on mission to complete the accessories.  Obsessed, I tell you!  About two weeks ago, we got the garage and car.  Our little girl was very thrilled…and so were Hubby and I.  One thing’s for sure, we wouldn’t have to worry about mechanical breakdown insurance for this car.  We’re on the hunt for more accessories.
