Maryland Weekend

I also put up our pictures from Grandpa Pyle's funeral. Follow the link on the right that says "Our Pictures."

Kitchen

Our kitchen is coming along nicely! Here is the result of all my hubby's hard work. While I was in NY Jason went to town on painting all the cupboards. He did a great job. Thanks honey! We've also gotten some new handles for the cabinets but have yet to replace/redo the hinges. I think it's starting to look totally different. Next step....painting the fridge!

NY Trip

Chell and I recently traveled to NY for a quick visit. We had a good time and enjoyed all the snow!! Here's a couple pictures...

Heeere we go!

Her face looks terrified - but she really wasn't. After we went down the hill she wanted to go again, and again, and again! Yeaah for sled riding!

Weeeee!

Awe, here's Choo Choo Pa reading a story. She did so good that weekend.

New Stove!

Jason and I got a new stove! I'm so excited to get rid of our old one and get this new one in. It took us an entire day of shopping to pick it out and I of course HAD to pick one out and purchase it the same day. Take a look!

Aaaaah! It's pink!

Just kidding - that was the protective covering. Now here's the funny part. So I get all my countertops cleaned off and everything alllll ready for them to take away the cruddy old stove. Well then I'm taking off the pink packaging and Keira being the great helper she is, is standing right beside me taking it off too. Then she even throws it away for me. (Her new trick :)) Then she comes back over and starts playing with the stove drawer. And because there's nothing in it - it opens right up. So I think to myself, "once I get all the pizza pans and everything back in there it'll weight it down." - - "Wait, where ARE the pizza pans, muffins pans, cookie trays...?" OH NO!!!!! I left them in the old stove! Oh no, oh no, oh no.....Yeah, now what do I do?

16 Months

I meant to get this online yesterday, but that didn't happen. - - Keira is 16 months!! She is just one busy little girl. Into everything: drawers, cabinets, closets and more. I'm thankful that she can't open up the fridge yet. Keira is also working on getting over a cold right now as well as some teeth. At first I thought it was just the two top molars but after some further investigation found out that it's ALL 4 molars - top and bottom. Those are some big teeth for such a little person. As for our days, we're down to one nap and spend our time playing, chasing the 'gogey' or dogey, and will soon be starting up our reading group at the library again. We've gone swimming a couple times this winter and she enjoys being able to kick her legs and play in the bubbles. (The pool @ the "Y" has jets that blow bubbles.) Keira is also quite the chatty girl - repeating a LOT of what mommy and daddy say. It's always fun to listen to. Our little one continues to grow!! Enjoy the pictures.

One of Daddy's new tricks that he taught her. He says 'pshhht' and she crosses her arms.

Doing some pull-ups on Aunt Chell's pull-up bar. She did most of them by herself! She's so strong! This is fun Mom!

Ah yes, and endless mornings in her Dora ball pit. She likes to lounge in it. Look at that cheesy grin.

Playing peek a boo with Daddy one evening. LOVE that face!
