Lately.

Just a little dutch oven cooking in the backyard.

Counting the spots on the ladybug.

Trying for a thumb's up...

She's our little baby.

Now if this isn't the face of JOY..

Stephanie, being the little baker she is, made these delectable raspberry/Mascarpone filled cupcakes for mother dear. Mom was one happy mom! Most adorable cupcakes!

Mother dear, I love you so!

Atta girl.

This little man is 3 now! Cousin Madeleine isn't far behind!

This is what I love about Eli. He was so happy to get books for his birthday. He took the time to look through the books that Nana gave him. And I love that.

Spring

GOODBYE winter.

PROMENADE!

Megan, I thought you would enjoy some pictures of our handsome brother's church prom experience.

Romantic 4 Ever

Mom & I just watched North & South and it's just another wonderful romantic movie to add to the list. Watch it if you love Jane Austen movies. Next to Mr. Knightly fits John Thornton. I'm in love!

Mama MIA I love her!

I seriously can NOT get enough of Mia. I love when she's tired because she gets cooky.(Like in the first three pictures.) She is so fun to hold and more fun to KISS. My sister Katherine has started gluing little bows on her kind of bald head and I love her even more! haha

precious.

megan and madeleine come to visit.

HAHA Iditarod start.

Every morning she would walk over to Bo and say "HIII BO!" while patting his head. They have a complicated relationship.
Ticket to Ride!She and Eli both LOVE books. (and Disney movies)

happy birthday to MOI!

I turned 21 on Saturday! It's sort of weird being 21, but it's going to be a fabulous year!

" Better Than Whatever" cake

I heart shoes.

A pillowcase mom made..she knows I like a certain kind and they always seem to be the ones her grandmother made, so she made one like those.

I wish I could say this is the "whole gang", but we're missing a few! ):

Sweet, sweet Mia.

My favorite brother.
