Medicine

So when is the last time you went through your medicine cabinet? I apparently haven't done it for years, since we had stuff in there that had expired that long ago. I had to throw away half of our stuff, but luckily we still have bottles of cough syrup, tylenol, tums and other essentials.

A Concert

Requested pictures

Lily loves to have her hair down. With the little flip in the front I can pull her bangs that we're trying to grow out back, and she can still have her hair the way she likes.

I'm hoping the cross-stitch will be done except for the date and weight by the time the baby is born. We're still working on choosing a name too.

My Triumphs

Making rolls that everyone wants more of at a gathering of friends.

Discovering a hairstyle that both Lily and I like that keeps her bangs out of her eyes.

Finishing the crossing part of my first large cross-stitch. (Now starting on the outlining.)

My Struggles

That crayons color everywhere, not just on paper.

That chairs can be dragged anywhere, and used to climb higher than is safe for a 2-yr-old.

That a pre-verbal child still has specific but undefined desires and needs.

That dishes, laundry and toilets don't wash themselves.

That doctors aren't gypsy fortune tellers, and can't say what's wrong by looking into a crystal ball.

Proof that I made that cake

Proof that I made the cake, and Lily helped eat it. There was so much coloring in the icing it was coloring our teeth as we ate it.

Eve is Two!!!

My Beautiful little girl turned two! We are so happy to have her as a part of our family. She is so funny, she loves to laugh and to play. Her favorite toy right now is a "tickle-me Elmo" and Elmo is one of the few words she can say, so I made her an Elmo cake to celebrate.
