Scrapbook Time

This is Mia. 

Today me and mommy made this scrapbook paper.

Mommy taught me some cool things.

I had a lot of fun today. 

Gotcha Day - One year ago

What a year!  I think it passed by in a mixture of firsts and fog.  Johanna has met so many milestones in the past year.  She has gotten 17 teeth (which means more than one a month!)
She has learned to crawl and then walk.  She has gone from only taking a bottle to eating and feeding herself independently.  She can run and jump.  She knows all the kids names and can identify what clothing or shoes belongs to each person.  She loves the swimming pool and would rather be wearing nothing( hee, hee) Keeping clothes on her is quite a task.
Johanna is a truly remarkable gift from God and we are so blessed to be able to watch her grow and change over the past year. I can't wait to see what will happen next year.

First day of Summer Break!  Yahoo! 

Thanks to the raccoon on the roof (and the dog that thought we all needed protection from it) I've been up since 5:20, 

No sleeping in today.  By 8:00 I had done 3 loads of clothes, cleaned the kitchen and made breakfast.  So, while the kids were waking up I grabbed my laptop and actually got a page made.  Since Johanna's 1 year Gotcha day is fast approaching I thought it might be fun to work on a page for her.  Since I have completed done exactly 0 pages for her book.

Maybe the summer will continue this way (Minus the raccoon)

It doesn't get much better than this for a 2 year old.
A balloon and a cookie!
( plus it was her brother seeing the orthodontist)
