I {heart} this.

so silly, but maybe a fun cutesy apron will make me want to clean, cook, do useful stuff. or maybe not. I confess I actually went to Hobby Lobby and bought some fabrics to make one, I’ll let you know if it ever gets made. (that would fall in the doing useful stuff category) and yes, I still have Valentines on the brain.

this face CRACKS me up.

This picture is not great, I know. It’s not all that cute, her eyes aren’t in focus and she’s not doing anything that you can see. What she is doing (and this is the best shot we got) is wanting to see herself in the playback screen on my camera. She will stand still long enough (she thinks) for me to take a picture and then she RUNS around and wants to see the image. It totally makes me laugh(as least when I’m don’t care if the photo is in focus!) Ahh, learned behavior, isn’t it grand!

In an effort to spread out these pictures of our beloved child, they will be coming to you in 2 parts. Basically I took too many (no surprise) and can’t choose. And my mother would prefer me not to choose, so in honor of Nonnie and not choosing here is part one of 2. Playing at home.

She still loves shoes and will not leave them in the closet.

January is a big "clean up & organize" month for me. Several years ago (wow, time flies) I posted this closet picture. We have since moved and are wanting to clean up & organize our current closet. Last Monday when I had the opportunity to wader IKEA alone (thank you Nonnie) I snapped these pictures. They make me want to tear down our current closet and make it beautiful.

My favorite way to photograph little people is when they are having fun. This sunny morning we had a BLAST playing at the park. Thanks for the playdate!!
