A Distraction

We have a new game, my grandbaby and me.

It’s hide behind the ladder chair.

Jack on one side.

Grand Mom on the other.

Let the games begin. 

IMG_2339

I see you Grand Mom!

Usually, at this point, I chase Jack around the chair.

He squeals!

He screams!

He giggles!

Did I say he drools?

He drools.

But wait…

There is a distraction.

Grand Mom has something that I may need.

It is dangling.

It’s round.

Let me get closer.

Did I say he drools?

Reaching…

Reaching…

Getting closer…

(this child is about 3 minutes away from walking and needless to say…falling down a lot…

note the bruises)

Ahh…got it!

Slurp!

Grand Mom, take note.

Do not take pictures of me while playing the chase me game!

What wonderful memories this post brings back to me, Deb, of my eldest son at this age. He began walking at 9 mos. and boy, did he ever drool. I'd change his drooling bib several times a day. What joy it has brought me looking at these pictures and remembering happier times! Thank you, my friend.

Ah drool aside he is a charmer ... I walked at 9 months which proved to be exhausting for mom who said once I started I never stopped ..

I'm surprised you haven't peed in your pants yet after playing that game with Jack! It's so funny to see in person, if you get the chance!

OMG! He's just so cute!! Ayden was a huge drooler...several bibs a day. If you get a chance, someone should tape you playing the chase game with Jack. It's something you'll cherish forever!

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei

Christmas in July Give A Way

What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would

Tyler Florence Made Me Breakfast!

Image
Yes, it is true!  Tyler Florence from Food Network made me blueberry pancakes, maple sugar pepper bacon and caramelized bananas.  How did this happen, you say?  In short, my children gave me tickets to The Metropolitan Cooking Show in Atlanta as a birthday present.  Being a diehard Tyler Florence fanatic, I opted for the special show to gaze upon my favorite celebrity chef.  Not being a shy gal, I ran up to the mike to ask my very probing question.  “What is the secret of making risotto?” Here I am on the big screen asking my question to Tyler Florence. My question monopolized a good portion of the Q & A time.  Sorry, Tyler.  But I just had to know! As Tyler began to plate up his creation, he called to me over the loud speaker! Yes, me.  He called ME!  Running up to the stage, he handed me this wonderful plate and wished me a very happy birthday.  Sorry for the blurry photo, but we were shooting without the flash.  My daughter learned that a steady hand is most importa
