Flower Power :o)

Where did my little baby go? She is growing up all too fast! Does anyone know how to slow down time! She is so dang smart! She loves shoes, getting dressed and reading Brown Bear Brown Bear! Her favorite words are Mama and baba (bottle). I just love this sweet little girl. I so wish she could stay like this forever!

Life

I love the view out my front window. It has been fun to watch the storms roll in and see the sun behind it. This is what it looked like this morning after we all got up.

Marian was so excited that it had snowed all she wanted to to was to go outside and play in it, she didn't even eat breakfast until afterward.

This is the new scratching post that I built. Yes it is a bit crooked. First time attempt. the cats like it though :o) Reed thinks he has a new toy kitty, I have to keep telling him to not play with them like he does his toys

Here is Tao compleatly sprawled out in his bed next to his brother. It was rather cute so we took a pictuer of it and I just had to share :o)

What we have been up to

Dani is our newest boxing fan! She will grab the gloves and try to put them on to play with daddy

I just thought this was cute, even though it did cut Reed's head off. She will grab his hand and drag him all over :o)

Reed loves giving horsey rides

Marian likes to give the kittens "friends" while they are sleeping

Here is Dani giving Pho a "hug" :o)

Here are the kids in the sandbox

I thought I'd post the last of the good weather fun that the kids have been having outside. Dani always asks to go outside as soon as the window is open :o) This is what we are up to around our house :o)

Fall!

Dani was so excited when Marian came up to play!

I love the look on her face!

We got to spend some time up in the fall colors at Grandma & Grandpa Shepherd's house this past Sunday. The weather was perfect! Nice and cool, but not so cool you needed a jacket, yet. :o) Dani found that there were even apples up at Grandma's house! She was so excited! The other two monkeys loved just running around in the leaves and climbing the rock wall. Marian

found grandma's (rock) turtle and had all kinds of fun! I love fall!

Dani's new playmates!

Brotherly love!

Dani loves to play with the new kittens! Daddy taught her how to use the string stick and she gets such a kick out of it! Pho is the "friendly" kitten. He loves to be held and to play with the toys and the kids. They both are really good with the kids though :o) Dani was having fun, but didn't think that having Pho play with her blanket was such a good idea :o)
