Sunday Musings. . . .

I'd like to start doing a weekly post that fills you in on what's been going on around here. It will include things I didn't get to blog about during the week and may recap some of the things I did get to blog about. I'll call it Sunday Musings :-)

Today I will be busy in the kitchen preparing a special birthday meal. The birthday is not until tomorrow, but we're celebrating today because the 'birthday girl' is my sweet 'mom-in-law'. Yes, I'm one of those lucky gals who has a 'mil' she adores :-) And each year I like to make her a 'special birthday meal' and give her pretty presents. She deserves a lifetime of special meals and pretty presents in my opinion - after all, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have the wonderful man I married ;-)

Here's a picture of my 'mil' Stacy and Kristen, taken on Easter Sunday, when she got to see Kristen's 'toothless' smile for the first time (another thing I haven't blogged about yet, but keep reading). I'll share pictures of the birthday meal next Sunday. For now here's some pictures of last weekend... Easter!

The Easter Bunny still visits Kristen and hides eggs for her every year. She always comes and wakes Mommy up and I take pictures of her while she hunts for the eggs and anything else the Bunny may have left for her. We have a fun morning together since Daddy just rolls over and goes back to sleep... funny how men aren't interested in these sorts of things!

All the goodies gathered together from the Easter Bunny (minus the bucket full of eggs!).

A week prior to that this had happened . . .

Kristen finally lost her first front tooth! This is only her second tooth she's lost and she's almost 9 1/2 years old! She didn't get her first tooth until she was 13 months old and the dentist has told me that she will be late in losing her baby teeth so I'm not overly concerned about it right now. Other teeth are also loose so in time I know she'll lose them all as she should. Next time it happens I may actually get to blog about it in the same week!
