Amy~ That looks like a fun playset!

Cyndi~ I'm praying that your mom doesn't need surgery. And for a healthy, speedy recovery.

Melissa~ You are much braver than I am with the red frosting! Phoebs will be getting white! I'm a little AR about that much color to clean off the kids!

Kate~ We live in a 4000 sq ft 6 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath house with a finished basement. It's too much house. Thank goodness we rent. I don't think I would want to buy this house. Too many stairs, too many bedrooms, too much wasted space.

My mom and I went looking around town at some other stores that carry local artists. One of which claims to carry so many local artists, but most of the stuff I found was made elsewhere. I think they are kinda misrepresenting themselves. I did find some people that I'm going to contact to see if they want to be in the store. I can't tell you how happy I am that we made this change! I feel so good knowing that the stuff in our store didn't come from some foreign country.

Phoebe has started doing this walk/crawl thing. She's on her hands but instead of being on her knees, she's on her feet. She's also started cruising the furniture (and us!) so I'm expecting her to take off soon! Our nights had been blissfully wake-up free until a couple days ago. She's either got her sisters cold or she's trying to break in a tooth on the top. It may be a little of both.
