Winter Fun

Yesterday Emma and I did some baking after pre-school. Her concoction post cookies

was flour and water and whatever else she could mix in...

Em models the apron my friend Sarah made and the oatmeal cookies! Hard to say which had more flour on it - Emma or the floor!


A visit last Fri. from my mom's 2 sisters, 3 nieces, my brother Brian and I filled my mom's room with laughter. Pictured here are my brother, cousin Jeanne, mom and Aunt Marjorie.

Aunt's Marjorie & Mary and mom enjoying some time together after lunch.

A bittersweet time as we mourn the loss of their sister, our dear Aunt Wilma.

So glad they came to visit.

Winter Musings...

January's over - spring is moving closer!

I have this photo of Emma, Samantha and Brandon

playing in the water of Crystal Lake last summer as

my screen saver. It reminds me daily of warmer days!

In the meantime I found some ambition to paint the closet

in my dressing room. In the rush to move in 5 yr ago it had

only recv'd a primer. Having to empty it so the "guys" could

get to the attic access, seemed a good time to finally finish it.

...and the finished product. The photos definitely don't show the

difference, but trust me it's mucho better...
