I've been a poor blogger lately. My excuse is no internet at home and hormones have taken over my life. Here are some recent pictures of our favorite Miss Priss. She's very interested in tableware and sweets.
She LOVES to sneak up and "hug" on her cousin Miles.

She loves boots, any pair or size will do.

Tickling. She comes at you with both hands under her chin and all fingers wiggling.

She always paints her body in addition to the paper. Toes are her favorite.

She likes to skip out on her Saturday after lunch nap and crash wherever she falls in the late evening.

She likes to get "inside" my clothes or the covers.

She imitates everything we do in the restroom, especially putting in contacts.

She likes to put herself to sleep reading.

She enjoys singing and dancing in front of the mirror.

201st Blog Post...Wow!

After several adventures with our suitcase, Rebekah's diaper bag, my purse and the interior of a car, I finally found my camera with visual documentation of our fabulous weekend.

Rebekah and I left Jackson Saturday morning around 7:30. My little one slept all the way there. She woke up in Sayward's driveway. I enjoyed a sweet reunion with Sayward and Rebecca. I've seen both Sayward and Rebecca since our DSU days, but not together for an extended amount of talking time. I miss them so much. The orgins of their friendship run across, into, and intertwine with the roots of the beginning of my deeper and closer walk with my God.

While at Sayward's, Beks didn't pay much attention to Harper Ann(or even McKayla). She was taken in by the lure of all of Holt's toys, especially this tractor. It made noise! Our morning visit did not last too long because two little girls needed their beauty rest. So we left Sayward and most precious new baby, Harper Ann, for Mrs. Austin's house.

Mrs. Austin has to be the sweetest lady in the world to me. She was so good to us all during our DSU days and continues to be a blessing. I don't know many other people who would open their home to two one year olds at the same time!

Sayward is a biological rarity. She has a two week old child and is up and at 'em AND looking beautiful. She and Harper Ann made an appearance at their family reunion and then stopped in for more visiting at Mrs. Austin's. The lady of the hour....Harper Ann FortnerRebekah gravitated right to Harper Ann this time. She was very very interested in her.

I think she wanted to pick her up and have a bite, much like she desired with her cousin Will a month ago.She uncovered her teeny tiny feet. Not sure how I failed to snap a shot of those toes. Mrs. Austin and Harper Ann

I think Mrs. Austin may be the cutest baby holder EVER.

Rebecca and Harper Ann. Rebecca and I both can't believe all girls are big now. We miss the cuddly bundle of a newborn. Ours are on-the-go. McKayla was very curious about that baby in her Mama's arms.


Harper Ann and I....ooooooohhhhweeeeeeee, I love little babies!

The girls still hovering around Sayward and Harper Ann. They are irresistable.

After our visit with Sayward and Harper Ann, we went to the Blue Levee for supper. It was very very very very good. I've been craving it ever since. When we came home, we decided that the girls needed a bath.

And then we let them explore in their pajamas.

They are super great at playing side-by-side. They went to bed. We stayed up and chatted.

Sunday morning we all went to Covenant. I still consider Covenant my home church. God blessed me so richly through this church body and leadership during my DSU days. I got to see so many faces that I love Sunday morning!!! After church, we met up with another good friend, Anjanette, at the Warehouse for lunch. And then we headed home.

Overall, it was LOVELY!

A Second Attempt

The First Attempt back in January

And these are her first pig tails too.

"Where's Rebekah?" "There she is!" And she realized she had pig tails...
Time to clean up. We got more paint on arms and legs than paper. This was the best thirty minutes of Beks' whole week thus far.

Being sickly is NO fun.

Here lately...

We have been doing and going and doing and going.

Rebekah going to the sitters.

We've also spent lots of time eating... Gnawing on a teething biscuit.

Chomping on a pancake.

We've spent some time just hanging out.

Rebekah waitinig on us to get dressed.Rebekah's sprout of a ponytail.

She is really into her beauty.

She likes looking in the mirror.

Rebekah spends alot of time in my bathroom.

She likes to respect my personal space...yeah right.

One morning I found Rebekah hanging from my bathroom counter.

I got her down before I took this pic.

She really enjoys banging the cabinet doors.The next morning, I found her on tip toes digging around in my make up drawer.Eventually, she got my little bag out and waved it about as if it was a winning lottery ticket.Rebekah absolutely loves bath time but is just as content to play with her bath toys out of water. She has approximately 23,350 rubber duckys.She likes these spotted ones the best.

They light up in the water, kind of like

lightning bugs, but lightning ducks.

This is what J.R. and his friends built Saturday.

And Rebekah's other front tooth made its debut this morning.

So now she has 1/2 a tooth and 1/16 a tooth.

And I painted some this weekend too. For a peek, click here.

Bath time is fun time
