Tutus, and more tutu's

I made a special tutu today for a 4 year old. Her daddy is coming home from Iraq after serving 15 months...She is going to wear this to his homecoming! I am so excited for this family! It totally brings be back to 2006...and a look at what is in store for us in 2010

A new bathroom, well a made over bathroom

The only thing missing is a couple of Photos- still need to decide which ones, but i have the pretty frames they will go in! new paint, new light fixture, decluttered, new cabinet about the toilet and new towel rack and rug. I LOVE IT ! It seems so much lighter! I think the new bright white on the ceiling did wonders!
before and afters

A Cherry and a Friend

Lydia had her first every Cherry- I think I am going to have to fight her for them from now on! It was a big hit! She had to go sit by her best buddy Sydney- It was all Syd could do to keep from taking that Cherry!

Bye bye daddy....

So we just said goodbye to Kurk- I actually cried when he left- I still love the old man!
He is off to Arkansas for 2 weeks for training for the upcoming deployment overseas in April. I think it just hit me- he is going to be gone for a YEAR. Lydia has so much fun with her daddy- He is going to miss so much- how do I make up for her daddy missing a whole year of her life?

Our Christmas In Texas

Lydia and I were lucky enough to be able to fly down to see Kenya for Christmas, well, the weekend before Christmas. It was great! we were able to surprise her- only a few more months and she will be back in South Dakota! Woohoo!! Lydi however, was NOT happy for photo time- it was 80 degrees and she wanted to be PLAYING...
