Happy Birthday Andrew and Courtney!!

A RETRACTION....

In a recent post I stated that spring had arrived in Washington...sadly, I must retract that inaccurate statement. It has snowed a little every day this week, however Sunday morning we awoke to this 'skiff' of snow in the yard. My poor tulips are struggling to bloom.

The long awaited event...

Yes, Courtney finally reached the age her mother determined she was old enough and mature enough to have her ears pierced. She was so excited!! She chose beautiful little sparkley pink flowers with a 'diamond' center! She bore the procedure well, although there was a tense moment when the 'gun' did not properly release the earring back onto the post. Kelsey helped her choose a nice assortment of earrings as her birthday gift. Now the wait begins until they are healed and we can start wearing real ones! She is growing up so quickly!

Mouth full of marshmellow!!

Check out those blue eyes!

Rylee Strikes Again!

She loves to jump on a bed, any bed, any time...

It's Official! Spring has arrived!!

Finally, flowers arrived at the store...just when I thought I could not endure another grey, rainy, dreary day! (You can only carry 'Sunshine' in your soul for so long!) Around here you feel like a ground hog when the sun finally shines, "What is that big, bright ball in the sky!??"

Dimunitive Claire...sits on her chair

So, to give you an idea of just how petite this girl is...this is an American Girl Doll chair!! It is just the right size for our little Claire! Just reminds me of the chair for baby bear, just right... since she is affectionately referred to as 'Claire Bear' by her family!
