Time for a Trim

Today Anabelle went in for a trim at the Kids Hair salon. Afterwards we realized it had been almost a year since she last had it cut. Yikes! Don't report us to Social Services or the Fashion Police!


"I know summer's over, but I'm thinking something short and sassy! Something really bold!!"


"Why are you putting a Chip Clip in my hair?"


"On second thought, I want to keep my long hair. You didn't cut it all off yet, did you???"


"Well? How does it look?"

Soup IS Good Food

As a toddler, Anabelle has been known to be a bit... fussy when it comes to trying new foods. But recently she found something she really liked: Bac Thu's homemade wonton soup!

Some of Anabelle's reactions [actual quotes]:


"I love it!"


"Delicious!"

Family Picnic

Here are some pictures from the Schutta Family Picnic held a couple weeks ago.

Mind Your Manners

Anabelle! What kind of face is that?


That's better!

What A Sweet Jacket!

I love the colors and design. And that hood!


Thanks for the cool coat, Bac Dong!

Back Again

Sorry for the long absence. Man, time flies when you have two kids and you're right in the middle of a major home remodel. Anyway, here are some pictures from Anabelle playing at the park earlier today. Got to get out and enjoy that nice weather while it lasts!





And remember, if you want to order any pictures you see on Anabelle's blog, go to this album and click "order prints." (Right now Picasa only gives you the option of ordering from Shutterfly or PhotoWorks.)

OK, But You're Going To Have To Take Care of It

"Why should Mommy and Daddy have all the diaper-changing fun?"


"You know, it's really hard to see poop on a brown bear."


"Dad, I changed my mind! I want you to change Brown Bear's diaper from now on!!"
