Snow Days

Getting Ready

Checking Things Out

Surveying Daddy's Work

Watching Dora With Her Baby
(note the snow pants)

Saela had a ball playing in the snow a couple of weeks ago while Steve cleared the driveway. She did not want to come in...but I bribed her with Dora the Explorer. Funny, she does not want to "walk in the snow" to get into school. Hmmm...a little tomfoolery I think!

Better in 2010

So, I recently came across some thank you notes that I wrote.............uhhh.................last July. I'm not sure on the timeline...I know you get a year to send out thank you notes from a wedding...does that pertain to all other gifts? At this rate - if you are one of those that I somehow missed over the last -oh- six months...you may get that by the time the kids graduate.

I also know that Christmas is long past and those thank yous have also not been sent. I really need to get on those kids - slackers.

So what I'm sayin' here is your gifts have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Sleepers, dresses (especially with hearts), books, CDs, puzzles, monkey socks etc...have all been put to great use and the kids, Steve and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity.

I really do hope to be better in 2010 about this...one can always hope, right?

P.S. My baby girl is 2.5 years old today - here's a pic from yesterday...a little messy with a boo-boo on her nose...kind of like life - a little messy with a boo-boo here and there.

Saela Catherine 2.5 years bringing joy to our hearts!
