My family

The big news in my household today is that potty training has actually begun (in other words, she did it in the potty for the first time)! We were all so excited, including Rachel. She kept giving high fives, the little cutie pie. Of course, this makes up for the fact that she gave herself a zebra tattoo on her arm just prior, LOL.


I was standing at the stove stirring my pot of chili when I looked over at Rachel who had been contently drawing on a pad of paper at the counter. That was when I realized that she must have gotten bored with the paper and moved on to more interesting surfaces with more texture. Yes, a tattoo artist at just two years old.










Notice how she thinks a 'wink' will make it all better? LOL


Of course this goes perfectly with her purple lipstick, in fact it goes much better with purple lipstick than with red.


















Yes, my munchkin is a handful, but I love her to pieces! Colorful credits can be found here.


And let me introduce you to some other family members... This is my sister Audra and her family on vacation in Maui last Spring. She hasn't seen this yet, so... Surprise Audra!


Love this kit by Michelle Coleman. Click the title for full credits:

And this is my baby brother, the youngest of five children, Kevin. Sausan Design's new 'boy oh boy' kit has the cutest little airplane in it that I really wanted to use. And since I don't have boys, I had to go ahead and scrap my brother, who just recently left the Air Force for a civilian life with his wife. Isn't he a handsome fellow?

Kevin

















Okay, I'll try to scrap a page of my other brother and sister in the near future so you can meet them too.

In the meantime, have a wonderful day!

Your little one is a riot! My four year-old loves to "accidentally" draw on herself, too!
