Mommy finally did it

This painting, created by my very own Aunt Sibling, was the first thing Mommy and Daddy acquired for the new house. After four years, a paint job, and some new furniture, they finally got around to putting it up. Isn't it cool?

My latest obsession

Earlier this morning, Mommy saw Madeline running by with a blue marker. Suspecting trouble, she confiscated it, setting off 40 minute of sobbing and wailing. Mommy's suspicions were confirmed when she saw Cleo walking by. Cleo usually is brown with white spots, but today, she was brown with blue spots. Unfortunately, Mommy forgot to take a picture before wiping the dog off.

As you can see, we had a very festive Valentine's Day. Not exactly a low carb Valentine's Day, but festive nonetheless.

Despite some bad colds, we managed to have a very fun Valentine's Day at home with Mommy and Daddy. We got to cut out our own heart shaped cookies and decorate them all by ourselves! It was the first official breaking in of our new matching aprons.

Then, even better, we got to eat them! (Don't worry, we only decorated our own cookies, so that stuff you see running down our faces wasn't shared with anyone).

This is from last November and never got blogged-- Madeline just looks unspeakably cute. She is clutching her beloved and irreplaceable "Puppup." Mommy tried to institute a backup to make life easier on everyone, but Madeline can tell the difference and now wants both Puppup and "Nother Puppups."
