Photo Shoot

Left out but not forgotten

Gram visited in October. These pics were from our other camera and never got posted. Avery and Gram always go on a Dora Adventure. This time, Gram made a special map for Avery to follow at the Park which ended with a picnic. Super fun!

These two are from our Friends Thanksgiving. We all made our specialties and had a wonderful time celebrating.

My absolutely fabulous and dearest friends: Georgia, Heather, and Molly.

Turtle the Cat

Here is the newest member of our family:
Turtle the Cat.
He is a 9 week old orange tabby cat. The girls adore him already.

The surprise

Take time to breathe

Today as I pulled off my socks (after wearing them for most of the day) to put on my Uggs, I realized I was wearing two totally different socks. Not even close to being a match. Two totally different textures.

Yesterday I tried to make fudge and I used sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk. It was a mess. I almost had to throw away my pot. Thank goodness for my mom who can read a recipe and made the fudge to perfection.

Two days ago I was at Safeway and bought some bottled waters. I normally do not do this...we just drink from the tap...but I was having some ladies over for a meeting so I spent the $4. I put the pack on the bottom of the cart. You know, underneath the basket. Well, it still remains there as I forgot to put it in the car. Well, its probably not still on the bottom of the cart, but it isn't here so who really cares where it is.

I also purchased some ginger while at Safeway to use in my gingerbread cookies. Once I got home and needed to use it, it was nowhere to be found. I called my mom who stopped on her way, before coming here to make the perfect fudge, to get some more. I realized a few hours later I had some all along in a messy drawer filled with other spices.

I think the water and the ginger are probably hiding out together.

No Growth!

Yesterday we went in for Riley's follow up appointment with her Neurosurgeon to discuss her 9 month MRI results. The news...no growth! Everything looks great and she does not need another MRI until May. God is so good. I was of course excited but now as I type I am more emotional at thinking of how desperately we wanted and needed this news. Thank you Jesus for blessing us with this stubborn, strong willed, silly, beautiful, amazing little girl.

O Christmas Tree

Holiday Boutique

Georgia, Heather, and I had a Holiday Boutique this last Saturday and it was so much fun doing this together. It is so wonderful to be around creative and talented friends. I just love these two gals! I guess I did not get a pic with the 3 of us with my camera so I will have to get it and post it later. It was pretty small, but a good start since we have never done one before. I have another chance to sell some things in December so I am looking forward to that. Here are some pics from the day.
