Six short years ago this little bundle of energy burst onto the scene.She has been charming all of us ever since. She is funny and imaginative, sweet, loving and she absolutely loves art work! Now, apparently, she is now making balloon animals (and numbers!); she keeps us on our toes. She mentioned to her Mommy the other day that she was hoping for Nana to make special cookies for her birthday

There was also some cookie decorating, a nap or two, box stacking/tower building*, creative arts, ice cream and many, many games of Otrio. This game is a new twist on Tic Tac Toe. Mr. Goodneedle and I were amazed at how

A few years ago he decided that he would finish the space in our basement that exists between the garage and his workshop. It's always been a "pass through" area where things are dumped off and where the second, back up,

Yep - yesterday was my birthday. While I'm NOT going to mention how old I am, I don't mind mentioning the fact that it was my birthday. I think if no other day in the year that you write a diary for, you should write one for your birthdays. It would be super fun to look back and remember what you did on your other birthdays.
