Almost one year old!

I CANNOT believe how fast time flies!! My baby is almost one!! We have had such a great time with her. She is so fun to hang out with, and just lights up the room when she enters it. She is actually using some signs now, like 'soft", "more" "ouch or hurt" "milk" "all done" and "toilet". She answered the phone and brought it to me yesterday. She walks all over the place. She eats people food. Its crazy! She has her birthday part next week, and her one year checkup at a new doctors office. Wow!

Chickens and other new stuff

The chicks have arrived! We have Rose and Donna, a Rhode Island Red and Rhode Island Red cross ( any Dr. Who fans out there recognize their namesakes?)and Dolly, an Aracuana who is named after Dolly Parton because of her beautiful blonde feathers. Dolly is the most docile, and Donna is the fiestiest, she has even challenged one of the cats already. I think they are about 3 weeks old, not sure though. I am going to keep them inside until the temps outside are around 70. So hopefully not too long and they can go out in their coop during the day. Dani loves them!! She petted them yesterday, looked up and signed "soft". How cute! Tuffy is driven mad by them, I hope he can get over it soon.

More sewing attempts

Here are some more of my creations for Dani and Sarah. Training pants, with a waterproof layer and an absorbent flannel soaker. Also Sarah's Christmas present was pillows with UT applique. It was the first time I had tried applique, I think they turned out great!

Playdates

Dani loves her playdates. I do too!! I get to visit with other moms and watch Dani interact with other kids. She is learning how to share and play nicely. Sometimes she gets a little excited about the other kids though! I've noticed that she is a little bit bossy. I wonder where she gets that from?

Botanic Gardens

We went to the botanic gardens in Fort Worth recently, and Dani rode around her her Christmas wagon. She did not want to pose for the picture with my parents!

New Year, New pics!

Where did 2009 go? Sarah is about to turn 13, and my baby is almost one year old! I can't believe it!

Christmas with the Karrs

We had a wonderful Christmas eve and Christmas. Dani's first Christmas Eve at Cathy and Mikes was so fun! Craig's friend Robert from high school got reconnected with him and also came. It was my first Christmas with my parents in 8 years, and we had snow in Texas. Very memorable!
