Lately



This sweet little girl

I made this romper for her last year. She wore it to curtis' birthday party in July. It still fits. Kind of. Look at this ridiculousness - those skinny little legs and new (to us!) shoes that are two sizes too big. The girl loves shoes! She's a keeper.

Mama did not do the best job of organizing Easter morning. Andy was sick, I had too much wine the night before. Aunt Sally slept through it all. But the Easter bunny pulled through. Betsy wasn't too interested in the eggs and Curtis was too distracted by the goodies in his basket to mind me napping on the couch :) 

And we love books now. ESPECIALLY turning the pages.

Feats of daring-do abound

Love this pic. The house is a wreck, but it is a realistic glimpse of our everyday chaos.  It's been fun now that we have an extra little person who likes to pull things off the shelves and "reorganize" them to her pleasure.  Add to that two exhausted parents and that sums up our home. Messy. But so cozy. 

Action shot. Poor kid had to get a haircut because hair was getting in his eyes. Unfortunately for him, the only way I know how to cut hair is short. He is still the cutest thing in the world. Now I just have better access to the back of that white neck for kissin'!

This little light of ours


Eek! I'm how late posting this? Sheesh, this girl has been one year old for over two weeks already!
She turned one. She had a really fun party. We had a really fun time visiting with old friends and grandparents and watching our little baby girl roll around and get her birthday dress dirty. 
Betsy had a great time. She loved having lots of people at the house and playing with her toys and toddling around with her little fluff of red hair following her everywhere. 
There were so many pictures taken and I'm sure I'm leaving out a bunch of great ones.  I'm sorry they are not in much of a chronological order, but you get the idea. 
We got lucky with this girl, because she really is the sweetest little thing.
Happy Birthday Betsy Marie! You make our hearts so happy.
