The Easter Dress

Around Valentine's Day I posted this post about Little Britches' dress.  Well, I did get the dress transformed for Easter, so I thought I would give you a little peek. 

Daddy bought her the headband, so I made the sash to match

Ready to go to church! 

Enjoying time with her Aunt after church!

Now this weekend is the wedding we are attending.  I might leave the dress or switch it again to match the weddign colors.  We will see what the week brings.

What are Shoes For Anyway?

Two weeks ago our next door neighbor was over watching Little Britches while I did some house work.  After playing with a basket full of toys the neighbor came to me and said, "There were a pair of shoes in the toy basket.  I didn't know if you had lost them."  At anyone else's house that would be a likely assumption, but at our house shoes are toys.  Little Britches LOVES shoes.  She wants to put them in her mouth.  I refuse to let her put our shoes in her mouth; they are dirty and gross.   So I decided that she could put her shoes in her mouth.  I mean she doesn't really walk anywhere.  That has been a happy compromise until now.  On Saturday Little Britches took her first "walk" outside, so now she has one pair of shoes that are no longer for chewing.  I am going to have to clean out the toy basket soon.

Bluebonnets Abound!

Here are some pictures of Little Britches enjoying the Texas wildflowers.  We have had a beautiful spring!

Beautiful flowers, Beautiful girl!

Happy days in the sun!

The House is for Sale

After much hard work the house went on the market on Tuesday morning at midnight or so.  We had a few more things left to do like touch up nail holes, caulk baseboards, clean outside windows etc so my husband stayed home from work on Tuesday to get a lot of those things done.  Our realtor told us that we might get some lookers this weekend, but not to worry if it was not until next weekend.  With this in mind, we came to a stopping point on Tuesday and felt a little break and celebration was in order.  Though we were not quite finished we were close and it felt good.  We went out for lunch and then let Little Britches play on the playground a little.  We were all smiles!  On the way home we decided a family nap time would be in order since we had spend most of the last two weeks working past midnight.  I was looking forward to a good 'ol fashioned nap when the phone rang.  It was a realtor who wanted to show our property at 4:30!  We arrived home at 2:30 Little Britches down for her nap and got to work again.  We were in a working frenzy.  At 4:20 we called it quits and made sure everything was in its place.  We took Little Britches and the dogs for a walk.  We made some loops in our neighborhood, seeing the cars as we passed by a place we could look down the street several times.  They stayed about 30 minutes or so.  I would not let us walk by our house because I felt like that was spying.  Plus I knew that it wouldn't be too hard to figure out we were the owners.  Both our cars were in the driveway, so a family pushing a baby and walking two dogs that passed by 7 times in a half hour might stick out in someone's mind.  I was thankful we had a showing even though there were still some little things to do. The harder we work on the house the more we see that we could do to fix it, but that is a never-ending cycle.  Anyway, here are some pictures of our house.

Mayzie's Best Bud

Elisabeth over at The Texas Ueckers posted a super cute post about Little Britches and her best bud, Annie.  Go here to see it.  It will make you laugh, promise!

9 Months Old

Little Britches is 9 months old!  Her well child check up went just fine.  She is 26 and 3/4 inches long; she weighs 17 pounds and 3 ounces; her head is 44 centimeters around.  She is in the 25% for length adn weight and the 50% for head circumference, which is good because her daddy can't wait to get her head into a bike helment and get her out on the road. 

Little Britches- we love all that you will be and all that you are!
