Flowers, Laundry & A Naughty Doggy....

Liliah is wearing a dress that my grandmother made me and I wore when I was 17 months old

My mom found this dress of mine last summer prior to our referral of Liliah. She also found a picture of her & I together with me wearing it. When she told me this last summer, I told my mother.....I bet my daughter will be near that age & will fit in that dress.....sure enough she did. It was one of those neat details that only God could arrange.....I love Him and he knows I like surprises!!! I am going to frame the dress & include the two pictures as well as my grandmothers!


Last weekend, we went to the Northwest Flower & Garden Show. I love, love, love this show & look forward to it every February. It's Spring inside and really helps me get through the late winter dark days. I also love to garden so it gives me a little fix until I can get my fingers in the dirt.


We were trying to get a nice picture of the 3 of us at "The King & I" display, but couldn't get rid of this guy.....oh well....at least you can see Darryl was with us!











My daff's & tulips are starting to poke up through the ground in my yard



Liliah found JT's kitchen bed......
Nap time........

I caught Maddy being naughty and dippin' into the leftover pancake batter......

I just love this pretty doggie......she really is a good girl except for a few chewed up things, like Liliah's pink plastic pull apart necklace and a pair of jeans that she chewed the bottom out of!!! She is very sweet with Liliah and loves to follow her all over the house for kisses and I'm the snacks dropped help too :=)

BELOW....does it get any better than this......I just love my adorable little girl.......
