All sorts of things
Posted in Beingoh ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH! That's my best Charlie Brown impersonation. And it's all because I was just about finished with my oh-so-lengthy blog post when I clicked a bookmark on my browser window toolbar and navigated away from this page and LOST IT!! Oh boo-hoo-hooooooooooo!
Enough wailing and gnashing of teeth- I'll try to recall most of it because it was good, oh yes, GOOD stuff.
It's been a pleasantly busy week or two. We celebrated our 8th anniversary on the 22nd, my first nephew was born on the 25th (which is not to discount the value of my husband's nephews, whom I very much claim as my own, having known them since the older one was 7 months old) his sister turned 3 on the 30th and my own sweet baby RK turned the big 0-1 on the 28th (oh, and my dad turned 45 too :D) Here's a photo of my birthday girl, after enjoying her first ever "cupcake"- she's my first baby to get a personal cake on her first birthday, but these were such pleasant and not oeverly sweet cupcakes that I didn't mind (and I may have mellowed a bit since that first hyper-attended baby):
(please excuse the slightly pinkish eyes- I forgot to doctor that up before uploading and I am trying to keep the above pictured baby from eating a pair of fingernail clippers) That's her new outfit (one of them) from Great Grandma and Grandpa. It is very cute with a little pair of snug-fitting capri pants (a good trick to get anything to fit snugly on my skinny baby but they do.)
Baby RK also took her FIRST STEPS on her birthday!! It was just about 2 steps and she hasn't repeated the trick but that makes her my earliest walker ever. The others have all been at lest 13 months. Her favorite trick at the moment is standing up on her own and her sibling never tire of screaming in glee and excitement "LOOK AT BABY! SHE'S STANDING UUUUUUUUUP!" It is pretty exciting.
My weather widget tells me that it's supposed to be sunny and clear with a high of 94 and since my laundry is threatening to overtake the entire house if I don't start washing it and pegging it out on the line, I think it's time to make breakfast and get to work. My bad toe has been injured again and it's killing me but I am going to limp around the back yard anyway and get it done. I've already used the dryer 4 times this week and that's killing me even worse than the toe, so there ya go.
I have some sewing pics to share and will have more this afternoon after I make cloth diapers for a certain drinking and wetting baby doll. I will also try to post the recipe for Baby's birthday cupcakes. They're actually muffins with a bit of icing on top and not too terribly unhealthy. Now it's time to put the computer to sleep. Goodbye!!

Happy Birthday little one!! She is adorable, love those bright eyes, pinkish or not! :-D
Hope your toe feels better! I've been pestering Mark to put up a clothes line, though I'd only get to use it here for a few months, that's better than nothing I guess!
I'm so envious (and excited!) about your harvest/canning list on your sidebar! WOW! That's awesome! We finally had enough beans to pick for dinner a couple nights ago-yummy! About the only thing I will have enough to work with for canning/saving are cucumbers. I don't even like pickles but with cukes coming out our ears, I'm bound to have many, many quarts of all sorts of pickles, lol.

What a happy birthday girl! Congratulations on all your celebrations.
I have a lot of laundry to catch up on too, it has been a wet summer here. I don't like having to use the dryer as I'm trying to keep my electricity bill as low as possible but sometimes it's unavoidable.
Blessings
Joanne.
