Toenails and Nail polish....

Well, this is what I get. This is what I get for thinking that my daughter was doing what she was supposed to be doing. It was awfully quiet in the house and I was busy putting clothes away. Hayden was playing, when it dawned on me, I hadn't heard Kennedy's voice for a while. Well, out I walk into the living room, only to see Kennedy busy painting her toes. Oh boy, did she do a good job! Thankfully, it didn't land on the carpet, only her feet and her face. Here are two pictures of her first experience painting her nails. One of her beautiful foot, the other of her "sad face" that she made when she got into trouble. (She's making this on her own. I took a pic of her foot and then she said, "take one of my sad face mommy sicne I was in trouble.) Oh boy, just wait til she's a teenager!

My Goddaughter, Isabella

Recently we went to Arizona and got to see one of my best friends from college, Char. She recently had a baby girl on February 9 (One month from my birthday!) and I finally got to meet this little one. I've seen picture after picture but never got to hold her in person. After dinner, Isabella gave me a gift. I was snuggling with this little one and trying to take in every moment while I could. Of course, I had no idea what it was, but started to open it and saw it was a picture of her on each card she gave me. In each picture she was holding a sign, "Will, You, Be, My, Godmother?!" I, of course, starting crying after about the word YOU.

I was touched, and very honored to be asked to be this little one's godmother. What an honor! She's so precious and little miss Kennedy adored her and wanted to hold her at all times!!! She even sang songs to her!

Bloomsday - it came and went....

(I'm sure I'm in this picture somewhere!!!)

Well, we did it! We beat our time by 7 minutes from last year (we weren't trying and were TOTALLY out of shape!) but it was a definite good time! Bloomsday is such a fun event, I believe this is our 7th or 8th year... maybe 9th? I took a couple of years off after having Hayden and Kennedy - go figure. But, overall, we've always had a good time and a lot of laughs!

This year we stayed downtown at the Doubletree. What a treat! It was so nice to be right there downtown among the action and not have to worry about finding a parking spot and then walking at least a mile before the big race! Maybe next year I'll actually start training for it....oh, that's what I say every year! LOL!
