Tea Party

If only furniture could talk... I wonder what this table would have to say?

My dad made this table for my cousins before I was born. When Kendall was born, my aunt gave it to me. It's covered in glue, glitter, marker, and crayon. It's weathered every seasonal art and craft project and a few science experiments. This was Sabrina's first tea party.

My grandfather made the three little chairs for the kids when Sabrina was born. I have yet to paint them. They're starting to get covered in glue, glitter, marker, and crayon, too. I'm tempted to let the kids continue decorating them and then just add a top coat of sealer.

Where did my baby go?

Sabrina Belle turned 1 year old (10/22/2008). How did that happen? She's walking, talking (saying Mimi and Daaaeee - imagine "daddy" without the middle d's), signing (milk, more, and eat), and often responds correctly with yes and no head shakes. We ask her to do things like "put the toys away" or "find your mimi" and she does it! She loves doggies and can point them out in picture books. She tries so hard to keep up with Kendall and Owen. Fortunately, they still think she's cute and allow her to tag along most of the time.

And oh how she loves birthday cake....
