12 of 12 AND my 1000th post

1. I love the light streaming in after breakfast. It was concentrated enough we had a little shadow puppet show.
2. Marcella's hand-me-down dance costume became her ice skating outfit. (PJs there for warmth. It's cold around these parts!)
3. Is it strange to admit that sometimes I look at these two and can't believe how adorably cute they are? And that they're mine?!
4. She was fixing me some hot cocoa / "lemolade" in her kitchen.
5. Folding the load of colors always gets me. Chris and I dominate darks and whites, but little clothes win here. And it takes a lot of little clothes to get tall stacks.
6. Truman turned a corner recently and has gone to town on the food. And even sippy cups. It's so encouraging! He has his first therapy appointment on Friday.
7. Cutting out heart glasses for Millie's preschool Valentines.
8. Slobberiest kid ever. I got hit with a big drool bomb on my forehead with this picture.
9. One can only take cleaning up so many times during a day. Yet it drives me crazy! So I end up giving up and Chris usually comes home to a scene like this.
10. Lucky for me, I got to run away for a bit when he got home. Happy hour at Hot House Market means cupcakes! Thankfully my friend Melissa works there because I forgot my wallet. I owe $2.40 for Millie's scarf I got for her Valentine present.
11. Independence is hard. For everyone. I think that's a lesson I'll have to learn over and over again.
12. Snuggles with my "baby monkey" are the best snuggles.
