She melts my heart when she smiles and laughs.


She is in the oral fascination stage. All she wants to do is taste every toy and thing in reach.


Playing on the floor is always fun. I want her to be comfortable playing by herself and not me entertaining her. Often I'm baking and she is playing just outside the kitchen. She can see me but she is content to play toys and entertain herself.


Valentine's Day is coming up! 6 years ago Andrew bought this orchid for me. Every year but one it has bloomed for me. I just bloomed a few weeks ago and lights up my kitchen window. It is the gift that keeps giving.


A couple weekends ago Andrew, I and Daraby went back to Pierre to visit. It was a very nice weekend to see everyone. My sister came with her two boys too. While we were there we watched this Teaposy bloom in hot water. The Teaposy was a gift to my mom from my sister. It was very relaxing and neat to watch. The little kids thought it was a bit boring because it didn't bloom fast enough. The Teaposy is a great gift idea if you got a tea drinking friend. Oh this isn't the final picture of the teaposy. It does get a flowery orange bridge above it.
