Hoppy Easter!

Having fun dyeing eggs!

Trying to be a good sport since Maleia was done after 2 eggs.

Sitting pretty in her rocking chair that used to be mommy's when she was Maleia's age!

Showing off her fancy Easter dress!

Letting everyone know that Mommy will look like she swallowed an Easter egg whole in October!

Best Seat in the House

Not So Yummy

No this isn't a delicious dessert. It's wet old coffee grounds. From the trash. The second day in a row. Take note: wet coffee grounds on a tiled surface do not vacuum up, they spray every where!

Cheesy Grin

Most recently when we're at the dinner table, Maleia will start jabbering a way in her own language to make sure she doesn't feel left out. If that doesn't work, she turns on the charm a.k.a. the cheesy smile that makes us laugh.

Where's Maleia?

She's really under there!

Peek - a - boo!

Love that static hair!

A favorite game played every day!

Too Much Time

So, once again too much time has elapsed between posts. I'm a stay at home mom, so this should never happen, right?! Yeah right!

Our lives have been hectic this year with youth activities, college trips, and most recently a Valentine's Banquet for the adults in our church. I have pics from way back when & I know people are anxiously waiting, so without further ado . . .

One of my favorite smiles!

Getting ready for bathtime!

Ever pick up a piece of clothing at a thrift store at a great price & realize that the previous owner was probably a little bigger than your little one?

These pants are one of those finds!

Dad, can I borrow your belt?

Maleia's 1st Birthday!

It's amazing how fast a year can go by & with so much in it! On Nov. 20th we celebrated Maleia's 1st Birthday!

Overwhelmed by presents - what are these? Wait, I see toys!

This will be loads of fun!

What does this do? Wait, what about this thing?

I love soft stuffed animals!

Practicing the newly learned skill of hugging

Although all those toys are cool, I prefer to play with this!

New outfit due to playing peek a boo with mommy while she's trying to shower.

What exactly is this?
"Mmmmm" was said after each bite!


Do I have to wait another year before I get more of this??

Playing Catchup

I have a load of pics to post. Grandparents were starting to whine. :)

Election 2008

With about 40 days to go until the Election of our President, and I've been bitten by the political bug. When Geoff had a longer commute in PA, he got hooked onto Conservative Talk Radio. Everyday he would come home and tell different things that he had learned that ABC, CBS, and NBC weren't making public knowledge.

Now that I'm home all day, I usually have some white noise in the background. Since I can learn little snippets here and there from talk radio, I tried it out. Now, I'm hooked. It's on a couple hours during the day, and this entire political process is quite interesting. With the bailouts, election, and various changes in the government, I feel informed and ready to VOTE!!!

I'm also ready for these pesky election ads to disappear. Does anyone else feel like they have been playing for about a year? Oh, wait. They have.

Hip Hip Hooray!!

A year later and it's completely done!! Last July, we bought wood and plans. In August, we bought power tools. And since then we've purchased sand paper, stain, more stain, polyurethane, more sandpaper, another power tool here or there, and the result is . . . .Maleia's Crib!!

I know she's nine months old, but the pack and play has been fine. The following are to show off my husband's handyman-ship and Maleia's reaction.

Back from a Break

It has been a pretty busy summer, and it looks like fall is not slowing down, but such is life, right?

I've had a hard time coming up with things to write about on here, but I'll try to be a little more consistent. It won't necessarily be interesting, but I'm sure there will be pictures of Maleia to help make up for it!

This summer, one of my closest friends, Renee, was able to come up and visit. It's so nice to know she's only 4 hours away compared to two days of traveling when I lived in PA.

It was so nice to have her meet Maleia in person, and just spend time talking and laughing with her. I think laughing is what we do best! She has such a heart to follow the Lord and to win others to Christ. Whenever we talk or e-mail each other, I always come away thinking. I love friends like that & have been blessed to have a couple close ones like Renee.
