JT got a couple of new puzzles from his older friend Eli and he loves them. One is a Thomas puzzle and it has 25 pieces. JT can do the entire thing by himself. I think that’s pretty awesome! The other puzzle is an alphabet train. This is perfect because JT knows about half ofContinue reading “Puzzles and Clocks”

JT enjoys his friend-who-is-a-girl (not girlfriend), Gracelyn, very much! We enjoy her and her family, too, so that works out well. 🙂 Gracelyn’s family came over for an indoor picnic lunch this week after we got rained out of a boat ride. JT and Gracelyn play together most weeks at workout, and they both didContinue reading “Friend-that’s-a-girl”

I bought Haley some new barrettes at the store the other day. She rides sitting up in the cart now and her eyes LIT up when she saw them. It’s so crazy to watch a little girl who is just riding along, enjoying life, and then she is screaming because she can’t hold the barretteContinue reading “Barrettes and Cheerios”

Haley and I got to go to a baby shower for two of my cousins, Cora and Rebecca. (What’s with my family? We seem to get pregnant in multiples.) They are both having boys! Cora lives far away, so she joined us via Skype. Aren’t we so cutting edge? 🙂 The group Catching up withContinue reading “Baby Shower”

Jim had to leave town for work and I had Book Club plus a baby shower, so JT went to spend the night with Grandpa and Grandma Cole. That left Haley and I with the house to ourselves for 24 hours! It was pretty fun “just us girls” and I must say that I amContinue reading “Girls’ Weekend”

Oh, my, is it just me? Or do I have the most beautiful little girl in the whole world? She was sitting in her room the other day and the sun was streaming in, and we had the house to ourselves, and I just couldn’t help but take a few pictures. Or twenty.  Sweet girlContinue reading “Pretty in Pink”

Oh no, I’m hooked! My first foray into digital scrapbooking was making a family calendar for my grandma last year for Christmas. Now that I have a new computer and PhotoShop up and running, I’ve started on Haley’s first year scrapbook. I did JT’s the paper traditional way just like the scrapbook I made ofContinue reading “Digital Scrapping”

As JT played outside after dinner tonight, he jogged by my kitchen window and yelled, “I LOVE YOU, MOM!” and blew me a big kiss. I grabbed the camera and snapped a picture a few minutes later because I know when I look at this picture, I will remember that moment and how wonderful itContinue reading “Remember”

I got a little behind in postings (see post below) so I’m just now catching up from the weekend. Haley is enjoying sitting to play now and loves to sit and chew on things. I think it is very interesting that she enjoys toys that did not hold JT’s attention. Even as babies, they have differentContinue reading “Catching Up”

I had a birthday! And then I worked for a couple of days… and then we got a new computer… and then it had some problems with Office 2010… and then it was the weekend… and Monday I got it all worked out. But I’m having a little conumdrum with PhotoShop Elements 9, my photoContinue reading “Birthday!”
