Jennifer turns 6 this week

Jennifer has been with us for 6 months as of this month and she turns 6 yrs.old this week..lots of milestones, lots of new things to continue to learn about. Today she learned about family birthdays. We had lunch up at her MaMa's and Pappy's, which is always like a Thanksgiving meal in its proportions and variety and it was topped off by a princess birthday cake, a gift from Emilee. Jennifer came marching in and told everyone it was her 'Pretend birthday' because I had explained that we were celebrating but that it really wasn't her 'real' birthday til Thursday. Real, pretend, whatever, this little girls loves a party, especially when she is the guest of honor! We still have to find time to get together with her little BFF, as birthday will not be complete til Jennifer's had the chance to party with M. Here's hoping that this first birthday in our home is just the beginning of many fun times for years to come for our youngest :)

Happy New Year and I'm not a good blogger

We just celebrated Chinese New Year. We had lots of fun, had family and good friends over for Chinese dishes and board games, and I didn't even take any pictures! I'm hoping my friend will share them with me, she is a much better photographer than I am anyway. Sara and Chuck came in for the fun, and for the Super Bowl, and well, they haven't even been here since Thanksgiving! so it was about time. They brought their new puppy, Nixon. Taylor has wanted a yorkie for a long time, so this was not a help to me. She carried this puppy around gently for two days and cried when he went home. I think daddy should let her have one of her own, we'll see....

Jennifer has been with us for 6 months this week. She is still finding her way, but is a happy child and doing so well in school. Penny turned 4 months old yesterday, time just flies.

OK, off to ask my friend for her pictures, my mom for the pictures she took of Penny, someone should just take my camera, I never seem to use it!
