The Story of Simzgirl

I interviewed Ana before and it was pretty entertaining, so I decided to do it again. For the most part, I stuck with the same questions (name, age, future career, favorite toy, favorite game, best friend, favorite food, favorite cereal, and favorite movie) and was pretty surprise to see how the answers have (and haven’t!)

Sim was cleaning up our old video camera (that we never use anymore since we both have Flip cameras) to loan to his brother when he came across two video clips from a couple years ago. Ana is so tiny. It is so hard for me to image she was ever so little. So on […]

This morning we took Ana fishing at Horning’s Hideout.

We went with our friends, Rob and Shauna, and their two children, Beckham (2 1/2) and Shayla (8 months). Beck has been fishing several times before and was more than willing to “show Ana the ropes.”

They patiently sat watching the still water, eagerly waiting for their […]

I recently upgraded my iPhone 3G to the iPhone 3G S. Not because there was really anything wrong with my old phone, but I was elligible for an upgrade and Simeon promised me that I would be so much happier with the camera, the speed, the Internet, etc. All things I love (and now have […]

I pretty much hear singing during each of her every waking hours. She took a liking to the ABC’s awhile back, but generally got as far as “A, […]

Since Mondays pretty much suck, I thought I would do my part to make them a little more tolerable. Here are three videos of Ana. I only remember to unload the files off my Flip every once in awhile so sorry for not spreading out the videos more. The first one is Sim and Ana […]

Ever since the snow started falling ten days ago, we have had to get creative on how to keep ourselves entertained. Luckily we have a two year old with lots of energy and an endless supply of Ana-isms to keep us laughing. Since not all of you are as fortunate, I wanted to share two […]

Today I took Ana to Washington Square. Once we finished our list I took Ana to Pottery Barn Kids for being well-behaved while I shopped. They have the most amazing toys, the sales people are incredibly nice, and Ana loves it more than anything. Normally the kitchen set up dominates Ana’s playtime (as you may […]

We are back to Monday again and to make this particular Monday a little better I have a couple “movies” for you. The first is Ana pretending to talk to her Aunt Jeni on the cell phone. Simeon was driving so I was actually able to video what happens every single time we are in […]
