Now for Jann's response in another Blog.

She was a little quiet

Steve and I were busy one night and Kate was in the kitchen creating a masterpiece with fingerpaints on her easel. Little did we know that the masterpiece also included painting her face. She came around the corner saying "look at me"... we had to grab the camera and capture the moment..... Our little creative painter.

My little cook

Well Kate received a birthday present from her "hunnie" - it was a cute pink apron with the saying "queen of the kitchen... in training". She wanted to put it on immediately and since it was very appropriate, we decided to cook pizza. She had the best time spreading the sauce, placing the pepperoni and cheese. But of course, mom dealt with the oven stuff.

She had the best time. It just makes me realize both through the pictures I took, and just how much fun she has with cooking - that she is really a little girl now and not a little baby....

Enjoy the pics of Kate in the kitchen.... Sorry this picture is rotated. I am just learning how to do all this stuff. Enjoy

A day in the life of a mom

Well - I have truly become the mom of a toddler. My life is becoming more and more busy. Don't know if it is that Kate truly wants to do a lot more things, or that there is lots more things for her to do. Between dance class on Tuesdays - which she adores - and choir (yes, they do choir at 3 years old) on Wednesdays, it is tough keeping all of it straight and bringing things to do while she "participates" now that mom doesn't "attend" with her. It makes me realize that I am just beginning to slowly not be so essential as I was when she was little.

I certainly see that everyday should be enjoyed when it comes to having kids. Even in those times when they are really trying your last bit of patience. Then comes that smile or "i love you" or "i want my mamma". No matter how old she continues to get, she still can melt my heart. Gosh, God sure knows how to bring joy.....

Life as a mom - a trial, a joy, a journey......

My First Blog

Well - here I go - I am joining the rest of the world and using technology to do a blog. I still have no idea what I will post here. I just know that I enjoy keeping up with my friends that live far away by reading their blogs; so, I am going to try the same. It may just be my thoughts, or updating all on how our little girl is growing.



Hope you all enjoy traveling with me.
