What a personality!









Anna and cousin Trent had a great time together, and kept walking around hand in hand....adorable!!!













Wow, I LOVE this girl! I mean, I do feel we bonded from the start, but I was just so overcome with worry that I think some of it got clouded. Now, I just think daily I attach even more to her and am truly grateful she is in our lives. Sometimes the worry still creeps in and I wonder if we'll have future challeges, but she is just really blossoming and talking more and more and is just thrilled with life and so am I! I took her to her first Gymboree class and we both had a ball. She needs some improvement with circle time but who can blame her for not wanting to sit still with all this new fun equipment around? Hopefully that will improve over time.


Here is our latest project...our new office. Anna kinda got the room I wanted to move our office into so this is our solution and I'm very excited about it. We are converting our 3rd car garage into the office. Our office is now in basically our kitchen and it just feels very stressful as it is definitely a working office since I do all the paperwork for our business from home. Steve comes home and piles invoices and plans on the desk, faxes come thru while we're eating dinner, I always have some form of paperwork mess going on and I'd love to be able to just shut the door to it all and have some relaxing family time. Since Steve basically has a separate 2-car in the backyard for all his boy toys, and since we will still lave a 2-car garage attached to the house as well, he was fine with losing a bit of his garage space. If you know my husband, you know this is a big deal! Another BIG plus....the space that is now our office will become a big walk-in pantry...woo hoo! Now it will be easier to buy in bulk at Costco and the addition of a wine cooler will help mommy out as well :o) Stay tuned and I'll post more pictures as the project progresses.

Anna is THE CUTEST! I just adore her little dress too :) She looks amazing and the changes in such a short time are miraculous.

I am soooooo jealous of a walk in pantry & wine cooler. Go Shelly! Ha! Very exciting to have a new office. I just love home design/decorating (although you wouldn't know it if you came over!).

She is super cute! And you are a saint of a mommy for not complaining about your time in that Chucky Cheese-like place. Just the thought of going to those pizza kid play places makes my shoulders tense :).

I'm super jealous about the work you're doing on your house :). We were going to put a three-season room on our house, but those plans have been put on hold until one of our little ones is out of preschool :).
