To the Zoo!

Today Katie, Lyla and I went to the Point Defiance Zoo. Danny and I are now members thank you to Dan and Rielda. It was a christmas present this year to Lyla. She had a great time and so did we. I hate to say it but I think it was the first time I had been there during the day. Danny and I have been several times for Zoobilee (a fundraiser for the zoo) and then once for Zoolights but I have never been during the day. It was great. All sorts of animals as you will see from a couple of my snaps. I don't think Lyla knew quite what to think but she took every moment in. Thank you Katie for joining us!

Feeding Herself

Yesterday we hit another milestone. Lyla feed herself. Not the most graceful mind you but she fed herself non the less. It was pretty comical. What was even more comical was replaying this video to her. She goes nuts. She definitely knows who she is and she thinks she is hilarious. I wish we had two cameras just to capture that. As always hope you enjoy :)

p.s. there is a video there...just not showing on the start screen.

We've become a ".com"!

If you haven't noticed already thesavvys.blogspot.com has become its own ".com". Nothing is really changing and you can still find us at the same url but you can also find us a http://www.thesavvys.com/. Simple and all our own. And of course fun! I didn't even know you could do this until I saw another blogspotter without the blogspot on her address. I immediately did a little research and low and behold it was as easy as 1,2,3....well not that easy...a phone call did need to be made to godaddy.com where I bought our url to get it set up but now that I am, I am pretty excited. Yeah!

Grandpa Savage Turns 50!

Sunday afternoon Danny, Lyla and I headed over to Grandma Savage's house to celebrate Grandpa Savage turning 50. It was a fun birthday dinner especially since we hadn't seen the family in a while. Lyla of course love, love, loves her cousins so she had a blast playing with them and trying to keep up. It won't be long and she is going to chasing them on her own two feet.

Girls Day in Seattle

Friday Jordan, Sheryl and I (we captured Liz at lunch) all took the day off to head to Seattle to dress shop. First stop was for the bridemaids and the rest of the day was for Jordan the bride to be. So many amazing dresses to choose from but I think she found the one. It isn't shown here of course because we wouldn't want to spoil the surprise but I can tell you it is AMAZING! She looks absolutely stunning and you can tell it is the one. Here are few snaps I stole from Sheryl. As you can see much champagne was involved so you know we had a fabulous time.

The next day

The next day before we headed home Danny and my Dad couldn't resist heading down to the lake for a ski ride. Because it was such a gorgeous day us ladies couldn't resist tagging along. Here are couple snaps of Lyla just being adorable. I think it won't be long and that lifevest is going to be a permenant fixture. She has no fear. And she just loves the boat as you can see she is pretty confident driving all by herself and she climbed a step for the first time today...watch out!

First Night Away

Danny and I spent our first night away from Lyla. For those of you that have kids I am sure you've realized that the hardest part of leaving your babies is not their fear of you leaving but your own. Lyla was of course fine with Grandma and Grandpa. I was the one that was a mess. I think I did pretty well and it was a good warm up for November when we are going to be gone for a week. Of course we have to thank Grandma and Grandpa Stajgr for making it so seamless. Danny and I really did have a good time. Danny's parents got us a nights stay at Timberline Lodge, thus the destiniation for this adventure, for Christmas. Some people might be excited about the skiing or just having an evening alone. I was most excited about the sleep. And I got a good one. First time in almost nine months someone didn't wake me up in the middle of the night. It was wonderful!!!
