moved...

in december we...

met santa...

spent 3 weeks in texas with family for the holidays...










designed a new camera strap with my momma...

and in january we...

SURVIVED the first snow of 2011 back in pa...




and the next one...we ventured out a few times to romp in it...
but my blood is too southern for it and little tickle's not too sure about it!




made lots of tickle soup {its what we call it @ our house }



i think we might be caught up! maybe i can keep up now!

our {1 yr old} baby buffalo

opps! this one never made it to publish either...still not sure why!

{ will be moved to oct. 2010... }

a visit to the petting zoo

where do you start blogging again when you've been away for so long? well the drafts of course that are finished and you never published! why they weren't uploaded for view i don't know.

since these pics...among many things...we have moved {not too far}, we have traveled to texas for several weeks for christmas and new years, i have traveled for business, the mister has grown in leaps and bounds and vocabulary...not to mention we are living in a frozen tundra this winter! @ least these pics are a reminder that the ground will be seen again...eventually!

i hope all my lovely friends...the few readers i have left...had wonderful holidays and that your 2011 is off to a blessed start!

a sweet lady that we met in the bananas, passed in the checkout and ran into in the grocery store parking lot asked me how old you were last week...i told her you were 12 months. just can't wrap my mind around you being one year...much less verbalize it.
