Mother's Day

So adorably, on Mother's Day, Micah climbed up on the couch, climbed into my arms and laid on me and said "hug." He has never done this before (without me prompting him to "give Mommy a hug)! I was so excited. What a great gift for me. :) Andy got me some great tulips, too! My favorite. :)

updates!

Well, I changed the layout again... I just wanted something fresh, I guess!! So Happy St. Patrick's Day, a couple of days late. Like I said, always posting on holidays! ;)

I have big news. I am (re)starting my business as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! I am now booking workshops and accepting memberships in my Crafty Chicks club! Our first meeting will be April 3rd, a Friday night. I'll post pics soon of potential projects.

Groundhog's Day!!

So, it appears holidays are my posting time - and Groundhog's Day was yesterday. My Dad started a silly tradition in our family one year, that we would call all the aunts and uncles on Groundhog's Day. It was super fun, and a good "excuse" to be in touch with loved ones.

Things are so great here. Even though we've lost a grandpa and two dads in the last two years, we feel so blessed to have all the relatives we do have, and such a wonderfully peaceful and meaningful life. God is so good to us.

Micah is growing all the time, and learning new things left and right. He took his first steps all on his own on Christmas Eve - what a great gift to us! Last year, he smiled on Christmas, and this year he walked! He has lots of words, baby-talk though they be, which he relatively effectively uses to communicate with us. His favorite sign - "more" - is used for more, please, I want, and sometimes other purposes. He also signs "all done," but that doesn't prevent him from whining to get out of the high chair. He loves to read, and he loves to "wok, wok, wok" holding onto two fingers. As he sits in our laps, he will find our hands, and grab a finger from each and squirm to the ground to go walking. He loves going up and down stairs, and he loves animals. He also loves "Yo, Gabba Gabba," "the Wonder Pets," and all kinds of books.

I'll try to post again soon and this time, some pics!!
