Domestic Diva

Well I think we have a future martha stewart on our hands - cleaning, cooking, cooking while cleaning, we have the works. Seriously - Landrum has a very serious relationship with her vacuum (she calls it a backune)... i heard her hugging and kissing it goodbye the other day in fact :) Yesterday she whipped out her vacuum for a quick clean while still wearing her chef's hat - she was a busy girl that day!

Today we tackled brownies together. I have always imagined I would cook with my little girl - it is something I love to do and let me tell you the apple has not fallen far from the tree. Landrum loves to "cook it" which really just means stir it. Landrum was a huge help with the brownies and I am so glad she likes doing these things together!

This weekend our project is potty training. Landrum is obsessed with the potty and refuses to keep her pants or diaper on right now so i am hoping these are good signs that she is ready! we'll see how it goes :)

Landrum's New Dress

I am starting to work on Spring clothes - here is Landrum's new dress...

Let it Snow!!!

We got a rare treat - Snow - and lots of it! We woke up Friday to a winter wonderland as you can see - it was so beautiful! Landrum kept saying "play snowing, play snowing" so after breakfast we put Luke down for a nap and went out to "play snowing" with Landrum. She LOVED it! We suited her up in every bit of winter ware we could find and the result was that she was unable to put her arms down by her side - they just kept popping up! It was hilarious! Today is Sunday and it is sadly melting away... but we are so glad we got to enjoy it!

We're Back!

Ok - I won't even go into all the reasons I have not updated my blog in ages - let's just start a fresh with a new year and go from here - shall we?!

Of course lots has changed and the kids have grown - so I will be sure to include as many pics as possible. 2010 is a new year for us and sure to hold many exciting opportunities, adventures and surely a few challenges, but hopefully not as many as 2009!

We just got home from a great week of vacation in Atlanta where we visited some great friends - who are really family - you know the kind.. We had lots of adventures there - including the aquarium which Landrum adored! We were so excited to share this experience with her - we went when it was not crowded at all so Landrum got to get up close and personal with all the fish! Her favorite was petting the sting rays - she was practically in the pool with them!

We came home and a week later had a very big snow for Mississippi (especially in February) and really enjoyed that - I hope you like those photos - it was so beautiful and such a treat to see the Lord's magnificent creation in this way!

Luke is 5 months old now and growing so big - he is such a joy to our family and his sister ADORES him. They really love each other and can always make one another smile and laugh!

I am not making any real promises but will try to do better about updating the blog with our comings and goings!
