January 29, 2011

We've been on a high terror alert from this little one today. Being sick (even if its just a little sick) and being tired are a wicked combination! I have to take pictures like this to remind myself sometimes of how sweet she really is. As we close in on turning 4, I'm really getting scared. She's opinionated, stubborn and knows how to express it! This is making terrible two's and three's seem like a walk in the park.

What a difference a few hours makes!! We had a clipper system move through this morning leaving us with a very heavy dusting of snow. The meteorologists predicted lots of sunshine for the afternoon with rising temperatures and that quickly melted the fresh snow. About the only thing left late this evening was on the moutains.

Oh yummy goodness!! My friend in Florida sent us these oranges, tangelos and grapefruit. They look beautiful but they taste even better. Kaitlyn normally won't eat citrus but she declared the honeybells to be delicious!

Another snowy day. I took this as an opportunity to play with some of my camera settings. None of these turned out that great but I am still learning how to operate my new camera so I settled for them. The snow was a bit disappointing too. The forecasted 1-4 inches was really more like a heavy dusting. Boo!

This is wonderful dress. That is how she has always referred to it. I have no clue why. My sister bought this for her in the spring of 2008, I believe. It is a 2T. My child is nearly 4. As you can see, the dress still fits. And she looks for every possible opportunity to wear it. During the summer, that's not a big deal but it is in the dead of winter and we have the winds, the temps and the snow to prove it! But that doesn't phase her--its wonderful dress and it has to be worn. I'll be honest--I would have never bought this dress. The collective colors don't appeal to me. The style is cute but I would have opted for something a little less busy or in a solid color. But Kaitlyn adores this dress and I've come to love it as well. I just hope she's not wearing it when she's ten.

She was so sleepy that she fell asleep on the couch before she could even lay down.

Dressed and ready for church! And check out the ruby red slippers! I just couldn't walk away from those shoes when I saw them. I had no clue at the time what she'd wear them with but I knew we had to have them.
