What does a tree say when he doesn't want to be bothered?

LEAF me alone! :)

Too Cute

This is Molly getting ready for Mother's Day Out this morning. She is finally doing really well there and only gets upset if I'm not the first one there to pick her up. She is getting so big and talking so much! She has started sleeping with a Mickey Mouse doll and has become attached to him. She carries him all around the house and "takes care" of him. She feeds him and kisses him and sets him beside her while she watches cartoons. She tucks him into bed and puts socks on him. She LOVES him! She brings us so much joy! Thank you, God, for our Mollypop.

Bunk Beds

The kids have really been enjoying their new built-in bunk beds...we thought they might be a little hard, but they don't seem to mind.

Just kidding...these are the shelves in our kitchen, looking into the keeping room. We will be doing away with them shortly. They pose quite a climbing threat and no matter what we put on them, they just always look cluttered. We're excited to replace the shelving with a work desk area and more cupboards. We have been meaning to post some interior pictures of the house. It's still in remodel mode, but we're getting there!

Love to you all!

Our Little Artist

We are so proud of Emily! She was honored to have her artwork displayed in the school library the months of November and December. This is a big accomplishment for a first grader! She has always loved to color, paint and draw....she painted bamboo this time and did better than I could! Yay, Emmy! (hers is the painting on the right)
