C is for Cricut

Finally pulled the Cricut out and started using it. 

LOVE it!!!

I made these little LOVE banners for the sisters my friend and I visit teach.

Now I just need more paper and more time and more cartridges...

Lamby - a love story

Miss A's lovey a little lamb, (a congratulations gift from Evanston Hospital). And now, well she just has to have her lamb! After traveling to and from Utah, her little lamb had seen cleaner days. We put him in the wash and Miss A spent a rather sleepless night with out her lamb. K called the hospital to see if they might possibly have an extra lamb so that we could have a standby - no luck. When Miss A was born, they just happened to find an extra box of lambs (that were the gift from two - three years ago) and there were a lucky few who got the lamb as a take home gift. I was at a loss as to what to do for Miss A. Then a thought entered my mind to call my friend who had recently had a baby, but more importantly had a baby at the time when the lambs were originally given away (that baby now is almost 3 years old). And sure enough LUCK was on our side - she still had his lamb and was willing to give it to us - and luck was still on our side - she had TWO lambs... and the good friend that she is, she gave them both to us! Thank you Carrie, you are truly a life savor! And I know that Miss A loves you too for her new lambs!

Can't Help Loving this Baby of Mine

She is just getting SO cute, I just can't take enough pictures of her.

And I love this baby of mine too!

We Love Ziggy

Marlee received this cute little doggy as a gift from Keenan's manager at work, it was instant love for Ziggy and Marlee.
(In fact she loved Ziggy so much we bid for 2 other Ziggy's on e-bay. thank goodness for e-bay!)

Now Marlee loves sharing her Ziggy with Ava. And Ava LOVES Ziggy!

Here are pictures of the girls about the same age, LOVING Ziggy...

Sister, Sister

Right from the beginning, the minute Marlee understood that we were having
a baby, she KNEW it was going to be a sister and she loved her right away.
Every morning she would crawl into bed with me and talk to
the baby. I LOVED this ritual. I Love that they
have this bond, this love for each other.
When Ava hears Marlee's voice she instinctively lunges toward the sound.
She Loves to watch Marlee, she loves to talk with Marlee,
she loves to snuggle, cuddle, play and admire.
I LOVE having my owns sisters and the wonderful friendships I have with them.
I am so thankful that Marlee and Ava will have that too.
Sister, Sister!
