These are the good years

Ketchup.... Combined with some salt and elbow grease SURE MAKES COPPER SPARKLE!!!

I LOVE my copper cookware!!!! How it gleams and cheers my kitchen up so much!!!

Makes me think when I look at it, of fine cuisine and french flavors bursting forth from my culinary magic.... Merely fantasies however since I've only made a simple stir fry today...

The Olive oil, Veggies and.. hold your hat... Heat really were complicated and boy oh boy... am I ever a chef extraordinare!!!!!

Thank you SOOOOOOO much for my awesome birthday gift mom!!!

What a nice day, Church was good, good coffee, new friends... the hot topic is babies since everyone has one or will have one soon it seams..

Sonseray (the cream of the crop hats off) was SO ADORABLE in the moby wrap attracting everyones attention and being a general distraction talking away right at the quiet parts of the serman... she also was singing with me during the worship music.. in a baby / yelling sort of way.. but hey.. imprinting..if mum is being loud then I should be too right??? :-) <3

Girls night at my new friend Stephanies house. Her two little toddler boys ran around in diapers and were in love with Sonseray.. who stared at them wth her absorbing, contemplative and complacent eyes and basically between them not leaving her alone and the 10 women milling around, she had the fur rubbed off her all night..

When I had to go dive into the awesome food she was placed in Stephanies vibrating baby chair that had a rainbow light twirling above it and twinkle twinkle little star in off-tone awful keyboard.... Sonseray had a "oh...my...goodness MOMMY save me??!!!" look on her face.. hilarious.. She neither has been near, much less in ANYTHING that takes batteries in her LIFE!! I mean its high tech here for me to put her in the moses basket and place her under the ceiling fan!!!!!

I can only imagine when shes four and plays with her first rediculous bling bleeping thing..... I am SURE I will create a monster when the pendulum swing phase comes into being and she'll be in love with every synthetic thing that lights up and that encourages ADD.

Speaking of the little sun ray.... super overstimulated and only wanted to cuddle.. upright.. with me standing.. patting her back.. wrapped in her velour blanket... nursing every 2 seconds for 2 seconds...ALL EVENING.

For my mother (and everyone else who thinks pouting babies are CUTE)

I have included some pictures of her little lip pouting out that she has developed a habit of doing when shes NOT happy with me.
