I HAVE BEEN BUSY: Layout#4 BeWITCHing

Kaylie has been a princess for 2 years in a row. I wanted her to choose a different costume this year and suggested she be a witch. She really didn’t like the idea but when we went to get her costume, the dresses were ugly. However, we did find the cutest witch outfit that she loved. The wig was the deal clencher! She looks BeWitching! October 12, 2006

I HAVE BEEN BUSY: Layout#3 BOMB POPS

Kaylie loves eating ice cream. She especially likes “Bomb Pops.” .Yes, she likes eating the pop, but with this particular one she has an added benefit: it colors her lips red. She then pretends that it is red lipstick. I got my hands full with this little girl.

I HAVE BEEN BUSY: Layout#2 DOWN BY THE LAKE

Liam had a good time at the lake. As usual, he went to the pier to see the Blue Herons fishing for food. He also spotted this little turtle sun bathing herself. The minute she saw us, she quickly swam away. 10-05-2006.

Kaylie is such a beautiful girl. But it is not her physical beauty that makes her special...it is her inner beauty and kindness of heart and spirit.

The Alluring Laundry Basket

I really don’t know what the allure of the laundry basket is for Liam. Yesterday, while I was doing laundry, Liam got all the dirty laundry out and got himself inside the basket. Of course, his blanket made the perfect accessory. He used it as a hiding place, as a bed, as a fort...the possibilities are endless for his young, creative mind. One thing is for sure, he had “loads” of fun. October 9, 2006.

Thoughtful - Sentimental Journey by Kay Eflin

Kaylie was by the lake side admiring a bunch of wildflowers. Liam knows how much she likes flowers so he reached over and pulled them with all his might. When he gave it to her, it still had a huge clump of dirt and roots attached. We had a big laugh over that one! She gave him lots of kisses to thank him for his thoughtfulness. Oct. 05, 2006.
