This video needs little introduction.....it is so darn cute!

Itty Bitty Toes

I just love this picture. It reminds me of cozy days at home spent in our pajamas.....all day.

Chocolate Chip Cookies....YUM!

We made cookies the other day with much success, not too much of a mess. I even started herearly on eating the cookie dough!

Macey and Me

Amelia has a newfound love for our dog Macey. She wants to constantly smother her. To say the least Macey is not real thrilled, but tolerates it.

My buddies

Amelia has made some great friends since she has been living in Lake Geneva, but her best buddies have to be Caleb and Kennedy. They live only a couple houses away from us and moved here about the same time as us. They have so much fun together (most of the time). This is a picture of them when Caleb and Kena came over for a playdate.

Amelia's new art project

As many of you know I have launched a new business endeavor and have taken over the spare bedroom as my new sewing studio. Well with every good idea I have several bad ones and my latest was to bring our extra large dry erase board out of hiding to use in the 'studio' to keep track of my projects. Good idea in theory but not when you have a 2.5 year old. She has taken over th board as her ongoing art project, unfortunately we can't remember to put the caps on and has anyone ever tried to get dry erase marker out of clothing....not so much.

Grannie and Bubbie Visit

We were so fortunate to have my parents come for a visit in early-mid October. My dad and brother-in-law Al along with Bob were able to install a brand new furnace in our home. We already notice a huge difference in the warmth in our house, it is so exciting. I will feel so much better about paying the heating bill this year. My dad and brother-in-law needed to get back to work and only staye the weekend, but we very blessed to have my mom all week long. We finished up some painting in Amelia's room. She has an original Mary Ann Lesnau mural of a house on her wall. It looks pretty fantastic, and I added a tree on the opposite wall. I still have to add the leaves, I found some great scrapbook paper to use.
Grannie also got to participate in our normal everyday activities such as art class and gym class. We had fun and the time flew by like it always does. My mom took the train system home, not sure she was so fond of it and of course the price of the ticket went up right before we bought it. But it is definitely an option to look at in the future and if you do it right, you can get here for about $32.
