My CUTE little niece is almost one year old!  In anticipation of her birthday, we did a birthday photo-session.  I have SO MANY pictures that I love!  So, for today I will start with the first outfit.  To come:  lollipops and polka-dots, “peasantly” adorable, pink pettiskirt, and cake crumbles!  I love photographing babies!!!

On another note:  I finished reading “Wuthering Heights” last week.  I did not like it!  I kept hoping the book would get better but it never did.  You cannot connect with any of the characters because they are all awful!  Things just keep getting worse until it finally ends in I guess what could be considered the best way possible, under the circumstances.  But, still.  Not good.  I started reading “Great Expectations” last night and am hoping that it will be more enjoyable

Our family has been listening to books on CD.  We finished “Ella Enchanted.”  It is so cute.  Much better than the movie.  Currently, we are listening to “”The Tale of Despereaux.”  We were lucky enough to find the audio book as well as multiple copies of the actual book on the shelves at the library.  Mae Mae is hooked!  She has been sitting on the couch following along for the past hour.  Missy and I have been reading “Anne of Green Gables” aloud to each other.  That is fun too.  I love sharing my favorite things with them.  I feel like we finally have time to do those things together.  I don’t quite feel like we are doing enough “school-work” yet, but we are slowly getting organized and settling into our routine.  Well, we were anyways.  Then, daylight savings time had to come along and mess us all up.  We cannot seem to get started before 10:00 now (previously 9:00).  You would think that by now we would have adjusted to the new time.  But, we’re having a hard time.  Maybe if we would just go to bed earlier.  There is just so much to do!
