Congrats to Kiran & Sweta

Our friend Kiran at church went home to India for a visit in December. When he came back...he returned with a wife! We are so excited to have Sweta here as a part of our church family. On Sunday we had a reception for them. I loved talking to Sweta and playing with her bangles.

not the best picture...but at least you can see the beautiful cake that Ms. Jolene made!

Our Saturday

Today Mommy had some friends over to make Valentines Day cards. I welcomed everyone and went down for my morning nap while they worked. When I woke up they were STILL making cards. So Mommy gave me a yummy banana cookie and cheerios. I watched while they all worked. I can't wait until I can make cards too!

I don't think Darlene is going to be too happy about me posting this pic...but as you can see we had a great time with good talks and laughter! Don't you LOVE the card she made?!

Karen made some great ones too!

After the girls left we had lunch with Daddy...Mommy and I both love it when he's home! I was kinda fussy about eating...but then Mommy gave me a piece of toast. I made a mess...but Mmmmm....it was good!

When Mommy was cleaning my highchair...she realized that it is totally falling apart! I guess Daddy and my Uncles were all it could handle! So we are on the lookout for a new high chair. Only problem is they make them SO big and bulky now...we hope to find another nice, small wooden one...we shall see! Mommy looked on craigslist for a while..then we decided to take advantage of the warmer weather and head out for a walk. The sidewalks were wet...but it sure was nice to get some fresh air after being inside all winter! Here's a pic of me all bundled up! Thanks to Mrs. Mikel for the adorable coat and Mrs. Stanely for the warm stroller blanket!

Baby Time at the library

Yesterday Mommy and I went to the Farmington library for Baby time...we loved it! We had so much fun playing, singing, & reading. There were a lot more babies at this story time...so that was fun. After the songs and stories we had time to play with lots of friends and lots of toys. Here are a few shots Mommy got:



yeah for new toys!


after the library we went to visit Daddy at work...then he took us to Wendy's for lunch. What a fun day!

A visit with Grandma F.

Last weekend Grandma F. came up for a few days. She had dinner with us on Saturday and went to church with us on Sunday. We had so much fun playing. Grandma brought me some very sweet Valentines gifts. I especially loved my puppy dog...I gave him lots of hugs! I'm so thankful for my Grandma who drove all the way from Ohio just to see me (& mom and dad too ;o)).

my new book from Grandma "You're my Little Love Bug". It sings to me and even has my picture in it!

kisses from Grandma!

Driving my new truck!

love my daddy

Everyday when Daddy comes home from work, no matter where I am in the house, I scurry to the front door to meet him. I climb up his legs and he lifts me up for a big hug. If Mommy takes me so that Daddy can at least take his coat off...I just reach for him right back. Mommy makes dinner and I get my special Daddy time. We have so much fun playing together! I love my Daddy!

I love you Daddy!

maybe one day I'll be as tall as you...

somebody get this hair out of my eyes!

Peek a boo!

My new friend Gavin

On Friday evening, we got to spend some time with the Mikel family. As soon as Mommy put me on the floor my new friend Gavin started crawling all around the house with me. We played with Kathrine, Brennan, and Colin too! I loved that they had rubber duckies and cars. I think I had the most fun pushing the toy car around the living room. They also have the cutest little puppy, Loofa! She sniffed me and gave me lots of kisses! I said "oof oof" back to her. When Mommy tried to put me to sleep...I don't know what happened...but I just couldn't close my eyes...I was SO excited to play with my new friends. We all got to stay up late! Mommy and Daddy enjoyed time to talk and play Eucher...but we won't tell you who won....okay okay...it was the dads (but only by one point)

Me and my new friend Gavin

and I just loved Loofa too...can you see me saying "oof oof" to her?
