The Mann I want to marry

Double sigh...

Super Special Things...Come in teenie tiny packages!

I had a fun little visit with a sweet friend

of mine last week...

She brought me the sweetest giftie.

Teenie tiny things.

I love teenie tiny things!

Here are some of them....

Here is her little man.

He slept on her lap while we visited.

I couldn't resist snapping a quick picture.

She brought me another little giftie for my hair.

The baby put it in a squirrel hole

somewhere...

When I find it...

I will share it:)

If you want to see some of her

work...

Look here!

Goals and junk....

Well...here we are the seventeenth day of January.

This year instead of making resolutions, I decided to

set goals.

For some reason this seems less scary and

more attainable.

This is me starting on my goals.

Seventeen days into the year.

Two of my goals should have started

On January 1st.

Oh well! Here we go....

One of my goals is to Blog at least once a week.

Another one is to do a 365 project.

My poor camera and I are strangers...

We desperately need to become reacquainted!

This is my first picture of my 365.

This moss is on my side fence. I look at it out my kitchen window....

As soon as the rain starts it turns a vibrant green. My

little sideyard brightspot in the dreary weather.

When the weather turns dry...It is suddenly brown and withered.

so very sad...but that is a story for another day.

My silly little collection of pictures will be here...Enjoy!

Mommy's heart....

After a long day of Baby needing Mommy SO much,

Mommy was happy that Baby was

quietly sleeping .

Then the sound from the bedroom that let

Mommy know her services

were required.

Mommy lifted Baby into her arms...

close to her heart.

Baby tucked her head under Mommy's chin.

And sighed...

Mommy choked back tears.

Mommy knows that very soon

she will miss this.

Little hands.

Huge little smiles.

Little legs tucked under Baby's bum...

Little Baby lump on Mommy's chest.

Once again Baby is sleeping

quietly, knowing

Mommy is near.

And Mommy?

Her heart is full

and very grateful...

Not believing that soon

her Baby

will be

One.
