In DM's World

 I still love to eat but am starting to dislike vegetables and fruit.  PERFECT!  This was my first try at ravioli.  (Don't worry folks!  It was Amy's Ravioli, which makes it okay that Mom feeds me out of a can.)

 I turned 15 months old today.  I still suck my thumb and walk on my knees.

 Really, I like to walk on my knees.

I got this balloon at Publix today.  I really prefer to carry it with me everywhere, even if it makes me cry when I can't hold the balloon and play with the toy I want to play with!

Mother's Day

Loved my day with my little DM!

 Flowers from little DM

 Cake DM made at daycare
I didn' think to take a picture until after some was taken . . .

 When we were moving, DM spent countless hours with me combing the Ballard Design Outlet near our house.  In this picture, it looks like she'd like to show my parents' dog Winston a few items in the catalog.

 And eventually Winston ended up outside. 
Sorry they made you go outside Winston!

 I have issues looking at the camera and DM has the same challenge.  Good job, Mom / Mimi!

Rest In Peace Miss Hershey

I'm sorry I don't have a more dignified picture of you Miss Hershey, but we know you were greeted in heaven by TONS of new friends - the pets of the Peeples and Patterson homes.  (If you're just passing through, know that D and I come from families where pets are family members.)

Good Morning!

DM is working with her utensils

And Tahoe lost a few pounds in the form of a haircut this week!

Easter!

Anyone who knows me knows I hate too much stuff! It takes up space, has to be cleaned, and nearly always ends up in a landfill. But now that we're in a house we don't plan to leave for a while, I would love to decorate more for the holidays. Lucky for me, my mother has collected holiday decor over the years and has more than she needs so I'm able to recycle free holiday stuff!

My cousin Brett and his girlfriend Haley. We loved seeing them. Haven't seen Brett in years!

Around Here . . .

This dear man turned 3-4! We celebrated with going to Historic Roswell for a family dinner. The next weekend, Mimi and Papa hosted DM for a spend the night party so we could go to Athens for the day and out to dinner. It was fabulous.
Today little Lady turned 14 months old. Still not walking but we are seeing growth every day! And teeth are coming in everywhere!

Just as we're starting to settle in to our new house, I've stirred up more change for us. At the end of the month, I'll leave my job. I am thrilled and so grateful for those of you who have supported me in this "adventure." It is a gamble but it is a gamble our family can't afford for me to not take. The good news is I already have solid leads on two "family friendly" jobs. I'd love to have either of them so we shall see how this unfolds.

Let's Go to the Zoo!

Couldn't resist!

We're waving at the bear.

And the gorillas.

Really starting to get over this place.

I'm ready to go home.
