pearly whites

can you see them? they are there! albeit quite small.

first pigtails!

there is a super cute video too but google is still being a pain and cannot "accept anymore videos at this time." bah!

friday night adventure...

...in this house? it means a little do it yourself home improvement. tonight's mission was to pull up that awful carpet in our bedroom. seeing as our room has gotten no love since we bought this house, we thought it was about time to get to work on it. and the first thing to go was that carpet. we had very low expectation on this one and we agreed that no matter how bad the floor might be, we would throw down some rugs and call it good for now. with a one hundred year old house, you just never know what you might find. so... drumroll please... we were ecstatic to find gorgeous hardwood floors underneath. in super condition! score! we knew there would be wood, but we had no idea what it might look like. to our surprise, it only needs some minor repairs-- ones that can be fixed in no time! seriously people, look at the (poor quality) photos, is that major improvement or what? the next thing on the list will be to actually buy some grown up furniture. like another dresser or an armoire and hopefully a nice bed too. but unless we have equal amounts of luck with a money tree spouting up in the backyard, those changes might take a little more patience.

who will be the lucky winner?

were you ever one of those lucky people who just happened to go through the grocery line at the right time? you know, be the 100th customer... lights flash, confetti flies, you win something grand, etc? as for me, i have never won anything like that. but you just might have another chance! huh? get to the point eh?

Mountain Aven Baby is about to hit the 100 mark (as in, online sales) and who ever ends up being the lucky 100 gets a FREE Christmas onesie or tee-- either peace doves or mod christmas trees. In the infant or toddler size of your choice! Sweet. Go check it out and maybe, just maybe, you'll be the lucky winner :-)

way back wednesday...

i was going to post some recent stats this morning but then realized that it'd be a while since we did a little photo flashback. so here you go. i may have posted this one before, but it's good enough for a repeat. this was isa on her first day at home, somewhere around 5lbs. so little.

if you add 14lbs to that, you get the current day goose. she now weighs 19lbs 8oz (with a wet diaper) and is about 28.5 inches tall. still gracing the 5th percentile, but growing like a weed none the less. good job little goose!

new shoes!

anyone who knows isa, knows this girl loooooves her shoes. so it was a big day when we unvailed a new pair of shoes for the winter. robeez penguins! isa absolutely loves them! she also got a pair of blue snowflakes too. you'd think christmas came a month early or something.

over the river...

... and through the woods, on daddy's back we go. a photo from a recent hike.
