Trouble

Here comes trouble!  Really fast trouble. Beware!

Collecting

Couple of dozen, plus a day. The farm-life scavenger hunt.  A memory she'll have forever. 

(And that sweatshirt she asked me to embellish with kitties ages ago isn't going to fit much longer.  Love when I catch my babies wearing things I stitched.)

Stacked.

Newly cut.
Smells fresh.
Stacked and piled high, family effort this year.
Ready for winter.

While I feel like I'm spinning in a state of disarray, there's order in the woodpile.
Progress.
One project at a time.
Onward.

Dedication day

All spiffed up for her baby dedication at church. She brings us so much joy.

Memories

Sweet sweet memories today of my mom, who would have been 67 today. I think of her daily, thankful she poured her whole heart into me for those 15 years I had her in my life. Since she loved chocolate, I think we'll have some brownie pudding while I think of such thankful thoughts that I had an amazing role model for 15 years of my life.  Looking forward to someday walking on the streets of gold together.

Sister-sister

Sisters. And spring has sprung. Finally. So much pink in our yard right now.

First birthday re-cap

Happy First Birthday party celebration to Anna-Kate!

The feast. Pineapple. Strawberries, Chicken, Pasta Salad. All her favorites. Goodness, she ate as much as the adults!

 The fan club

 The birthday girl

And the cake.

 

Going, going, going....

 Gone.

 Her first experience with cake was certainly a delightful one.  We love you, Anna-Kate!
