On the mend

 Happy is finally feeling better! She has also gotten at the age where her lil attitude and personality are showing themselves! She clearly lets you know what she wants and doesn't want. When in stores, she is pointing at what she wants and says "Baby!" As if she is telling me that the baby wants that. If you don't give it to her, watch out! In slow motion she lays her head on the nearest object (or even the floor) and just boo hoos her little heart out. It is the saddest (but kinda funny) thing ever! The past few days she has gotten in this phase of hitting me. She thinks it's funny but I have been putting a quick stop to that. When she starts hitting me and grab her hand and hold it still and tell her very sternly 'NOT NICE' and she lays her head down and boo hoos again. She is a little on the sensitive side!

Having some yummy freeze dried yogurt for snack time!

I am missing buddy like crazy! I get to talk to him everyday so that is good! He is having a good time and I know Pops and Granddaddy are having fun with just the lil man! A cute story: Happy and I spent the night with our old neighbors last night to let the kiddos play. The babies had fun but Emma sure was missing Holdyn. Emma showed me one of her family 'drawings'. I noticed that there was one extra family member than there should have been. She went down the line and told me who everyone was. Guess who is in her family drawing?! Holdyn!! Ellen said that ever since we moved, Holdyn has been included in every family art work. When I was leaving this morning we were talking about what night this week we were gonna hang out and get the kids together again. Emma told me "Ms Cindy, when I see Holdyn I am gonna hug him and squeeze him so tight and never let go!" I know Holdyn will probably do the same thing! They have really missed each other.

I have been working on our childhood high chair. It was looking pretty worn and sad. After 30 years it needed a good sand down and some new stain. When it finishes drying and the new cuhion gets here, it will be good to go! I think it is going to match the wood of our dining room table and chairs nicely!
