Fit For a Princess

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Well, first my littlest baby turns nine months old and then – like, the next day – my other baby turns THREE!  It’s almost too much for one week.

Phoebe had a birthday fit for a princess. We had a party for her last evening with some other little princesses and princes. Here she is waiting for all the royal guests…

This was her big present.  She hopped on and started peddling like a pro.  It was very cute.

Here, also, if you’d like to take a peek, is a little slideshow that we prepared for “Phoebe’s 3rd Birthday Ice Cream Cake Social.”  (Dave came up with that name for the Evite – makes me giggle.)

Nine Months

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Really not sure how this happened, but my little newborn baby girl is 9 months old today.  That went by way too fast.  Why does a 9 month pregnancy seen like an eternity, but these precious baby days seem to zoom by so fast?  *sigh*

Four Down, One More To Go…

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Look who has kept herself clean and (mostly) dry for the past four days.  That’s right, we’re on our way to having only one diapered bottom at the Horsman house.  Exciting stuff, I tell ya…  Seriously, though, a newly potty trained toddler is one of those things that can make a parent jump for joy.

Go Phoebe, go Phoebe, go, go, go Phoebe…

Last Spelling Test of the School Year

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Yippity Skippity!  Tomorrow is our last day of school!  We’re planning on doing a bit of summer school in July and August - just a half hour to an hour each day of math and language arts review – but for the month of June we will be free spirits.  :-)   So happy and proud of us all.   We did it!

“New-yeek”

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

You know, Noah, Ellie looks a lot like you did when you were this age.

But Mummy…I’m…I’m new…I’m new…new-yeek.  I learned that.  That I’m new-yeek.

New-what?

Mummy!!!  Don’t you know?  NEW-YEEK!  There’s no one else like me in the whole world.  I’m NEW-YEEK!  You never knew that before?


Summer…

…and Phoebe’s face expresses exactly how I feel about it!
