The painters are coming hopefully next week to paint the entryway and trim and the high foyer which will make a huge difference! Thursday, June 7, 2012. Now we have to grout tomorrow. This is how our Mudroom entryway has looked since we moved in. Lovely, huh? Thursday, May 10, 2012.

This first year of your life has gone by in a flash. You have been such a delightful baby - loving, easy to take places, happy, and adaptable! You have been my little buddy this year - taking the big girls to things, going to the pool, running errands - we have spend very little time apart. Mama might get up to feed you in the night, but it is your DADDY that you are absolutely crazy about these days. You just light up when you are with him, and he feels the same about you, of course.

The best part is when she would just head off to the ocean, house, or wherever never looking back. Off to check out the sailboat with Daddy. Practicing her kick in the ocean with Mommy. Stomping in the puddles! Tuesday, August 14, 2012.
