Little Baker

Linlee wanted to “cook” again today, so we made GF muffins.  She actually did an excellent job of helping and even wanted to pour the muffin batter into the cups.

This last one is Linlee pretending that her beat-up ukulele is a violin…

Little Chef

A very short high.

So with the portfolio complete, I thought we were super close to getting on a waiting list for adoption #2, but I was wrong.  There are more obstacles and now I’m thinking it will be winter or spring before we are on a list.  Disappointed does not begin to describe my feelings.  I noted in [...]

There goes October…

November already?  Last month just zipped by.  Today my little family headed to the mall so I could celebrate finishing the adoption portfolio.  I knew just what I wanted to do…  Buy a few things for the new baby!  Before the bassinet (which I had to get for the portfolio), I hadn’t let myself  buy [...]

Happy Halloween!

Meet Little Red and the Pink Fairy (who already has a blue smile from a blue lollipop – her favorite).  The Davises came over for dinner and trick-or-treating tonight.  We had such a nice time.

I have to laugh at this picture.  It was the first house of the night and Rachel is going toward the [...]

She’s lucky I’m letting her live.

So this afternoon Linlee ask for some popcorn.  I went into the kitchen, put the bag in the microwave and set the timer for two minutes and ten seconds.  That’s all it takes to pop a bag of popcorn in our microwave.  But after only a minute, I suddenly prickled with mommy intuition.  Despite the [...]

Preschool Party

Linlee’s little class got to go trick-or-treating around her school today and then had a party.  Linlee didn’t really understand why they had to walk around to other classrooms holding out a bag for treats.  I don’t think she even got it that she was getting goodies in her bag.  She just seemed confused.  Poor [...]

The Pink Fairy

I tried to wait until Halloween to post pictures, but I couldn’t!  Yes, Linlee is going to be a pink fairy this year.  She is into anything with a tutu (which she calls a “dancing dress”).  She actually wanted this outfit, but didn’t know that I got it for her until this afternoon.  (I didn’t [...]

My Sweetness

Linlee loves listening to the Riverdance soundtrack in the car.  Whenever I look back at her, she is usually pretending to play the violin with the music.  How cute is that!

Ugh.

I’ve finished revising the adoption portfolio and now I’m back in copying hell.  Honest to pete, I don’t know why it is so difficult for me to make copies.  I have a master’s degree, for god’s sake, making a copy (actually 24 pages times 7) shouldn’t be this challenging.  Of course, my copier takes about [...]
