A little chuckle for your day

Hailey sat down to write a Christmas card for her Kindergarten teacher. When she was done, she brought it to me. I've edited her spelling here for blogging purposes, but it read:

Dear Mrs. Romero,
Merry Christmas Mrs. Romero Merry Christmas. I like you, I love you, I want some more of you.
Love, Hailey

JoLynn Rae loves Rachel Ray

JoLynn LOVES to be by my side in the kitchen. She has mastered the talent of gently cracking the eggs for cookies, measuring the yeast for bread, and tearing the lettuce for salad. Her favorite afternoon show is Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals. JoLynn is becoming a culinary diva!

Hailey took this picture one Sunday afternoon

A sandal, a tea cup, a baby rattle, a burp cloth, a used napkin, a necklace, a sour cream container, and a baby's dress shoe...
