Precious Moments

When we were house hunting, I really thought I wanted a finished basement. But now I know why God had a different plan.

I would have missed precious moments like these...

It's snowing outside, but that doesn't stop Mookie from riding her bicycle. In her jammies. With her fancy skirt on. And her helmet on backwards. :-)

As much as I miss living in LA, if we still lived there, I would have missed this. :-)

Bright Eyes

A friend pointed me to this feature on Flickr's Picnik photo editing site. It's called CinemaScope and I LOVE it!
I'm sure there are ways I can brighten Mookie's eyes a bit more, but I am pretty excited about this effect! :o)
Don't expect to see me upload tons of photos just to CinemaScope them, but I just thought this was a pretty cool way to waste some time. (like I need more ways to waste time, right?

Such A Bright Spot In My Day

Sprout is sitting up SO well these days! She's getting more and more independent and enjoys playing by herself (which allows ME to enjoy a few things, too!)

She's not crawling, or even trying, yet, but that will come. For now, I absolutely LOVE the fact that I can Put. Her. Down. (for the love of pete!) and get a little work done. :-)

We love our little Sproutling.

She Can Fly!

One grandma got her the Tinkerbell movie called "The Great Fairy Rescue," and we watched it more than a few times after she got it. :o)

Then we came home and opened our other gifts, and Grandpa Bill and Grandma Jen sent her the Tinkerbell costume! I'm pretty sure Mookie set a gift-wrap ripping record getting that thing out of the package and onto her body!

And then, for the next 5 hours, she "flew" around the house and exclaiming "OH! My wings are wet!"

I hope she always believes that she can fly, and never gets discouraged when her wings get a bit wet by the storms of life.
