Brownie-goose clothing!

Just wanted to share this with any of you other moms out there that are in love with children's clothing like me....there is some of the cutest hand-made stuff on this site: browniegoose.blogspot.com. The link is in my list to the right, also. The girl who makes it all happens to be Bill's (Matthew's dad) former nurse. The stuff she makes is just adorable. JoAnna has just landed her first modeling job....haha! She's actually on the blog as a "star" in her brownie-goose outfit. Doc and Grancie gave this adorable outfit to JoAnna.

JoAnna's 1st New Year's Celebration

I felt it was totally necessary to find some way for JoAnna to celebrate her first New Year's Eve. So, I decided to make an imaginary cake decorated with Cheerios - definitely a last minute thing. She LOVED it! She could hardly wait to clobber (?) it with her hands...she squealed and laughed the whole time. She made a great effort to eat all the Cheerios she could possibly fit in her mouth. I should have used the video camera instead, but maybe you'll "hear" her facial expressions. Good news is most of the Cheerios fell to the floor with her excitement. She definitely enjoyed herself, which is really all I wanted to see! I think it's safe to say she'll be all about her first birthday cake!

Christmas 2008

JoAnna had a blast on her first Christmas. She enjoyed mostly getting to tear up (and eat) wrapping paper. We managed to break only one ornament! It was so much fun seeing her experience for the first time all the little joys that we take for granted...like tree lights, sweet tea, and time with people we love (although it was brief). She got tons of toys and things to entertain her, so we'll be busy with all those things for quite some time. We hope you all had a very merry Christmas, too!

P.S. the Cabbage Patch Kid is staying in the box until JoAnna gets older...I HAD to buy her because Antoinette Lolita (haha) and JoAnna share the same birthday! Plus they're celebrating 25 years now! Definitely makes me feel old!
