My Grown-Up Christmas List

and here is happy, laughing Annie, amused as usual by her canine sisters, Mary and Hope ... she sits on the bed and all they have to do is walk into the room and she laughs and laughs until she falls right over ... definitely a daymaker!!
annie is now 17 pounds and on the verge of crawling ... she has always disliked having her diaper/clothes changed but as it is now, she rolls over so fast and scoots away that her naked self is halfway across the room during my "we don't live in a nudist colony" speech while I try to dress her. Who knew a small baby could be so physically challenging to dress??
back in the adult world (sometimes forget I still live there, too) continue to prepare for Christmas but feel like world's worst mom as have no stocking for sweet Annie yet ... seems grown-up thing would be to make one but am not seamstress by any stretch!! (ha ha, Danielle and Teri) would not know where to start ... would self begin by darning or cross-stitching or latch-hooking or perhaps by duct taping?? no clue so will solve problem another creative way ... solution to follow in later blog ...

Let It Flurry, Let It Flurry, Let It Flurry

ahhh has been awhile since actually wrote anything wildly interesting here so will do so today ... top picture of annie you can see her little white tooth shining proudly and the bottom picture is after errands and a tiny little haircut followed by severe hathead after wearing her winter hat as is VERY cold here ...
all is fairly well ... has been not so great week as far as sinuses are concerned but sinus/allergy issues seem to abound among family and friends as of late ... must blame cold weather ... was snowing here yesterday ... ok, was "flurrying" ... do not mean to imply that self had to head out with a snow shovel just to remove enough snow so that precious husband could find house after work ... still, when wake up to single-digit temps. self considers that to be seriously cold and very much envy certain relatives' heated commode seat ... own commode seat is quite the great awakener in the middle of the night or first thing in the morning ...
