Our New Year Tree was in full swing…

And just so we don’t ever forget, he has the cutest way with pronouns, and we all lot fit so that we may never let him grow out of it!!! He talks about: me dog, me book, me anything at all… instead of my dog, my book and so on. Of course if something is yours then it is: you book, you bed… we love it poor kid!!!
That’s us, Hope you have a fabulous week!!! If you enjoy reading our Week That Was posts… then feel free to follow our daily ins and outs on Twitter…
Oh Summer! Almost forgotten. So that’s what it looks like. So drizzly and cloudy here. Catching up with the new year and wanted to wish you all a happy new year!
It is so fun to see all your summer adventures while we are in the dead of winter. Lovely week with a lovely family.
Your first visitor of the year may not have been tall and dark, but he is certainly very handsome! Maybe he came to suggest we could all slow down a bit, and still win the race.
Hay Phyllis – So good to have you stop by!!! We are so enjoying summer at last… it was worth the long wait this year!!! I so enjoy all your pinning on Pinterest!!! Have a great day!!!
Hay Granny Ant, Definitely not the tall dark visitor we might have expected!!! Hope you have a great week!!!
Gorgeous sunny summer faces! Best tower ever!!!
Oh Corli, Summer is finally here in full force!!! Lovely, lovely, lovely!!!
