Our little Dutch Girl

Julianna knows what she wants and how to get it. Lately she's been pushing a chair up to the counter and opening the cupboards or drawers and getting what ever appeals to her. She got into my dropjes the other day. I couldn't resist taking some pictures, I wanted to see if she liked them (she didn't...but only discovered that after sucking on every one in the roll!) For my friends who don't know what dropjes are, they are salty, black licorice.

hmm, let's try this...

not bad so far...

actually...not too good, "here Mom"

little dutch shoes we found at a garage sale
she loves cluppin' around in them, they make a lot of noise and Julianna likes to be heard!

Asher and Julianna

Asher David is 6 - April 9, 2007

Asher's birthday is our last spring birthday. It was a long wait for him. His birthday was on Easter Sunday, and we had his party on Saturday. No more birthday parties till mine in December!

We're back!

We're back to blogging...for all ya'll who have been checking. I'll be adding updates of the happenings of the last month.

We got our refund from Dell and bought a notebook instead from IBM so now I can blog and check blogs while sitting on the couch... how's that for multitasking?

Our Baby ...Julianna Arie is 2!

It's hard to believe, but our baby turned 2 on March 30. Here is how we celebrated.

I've always wanted to decorate a cake like this and I finally spent the time to do it.

she loved blowing out the candles, she got a little too close to the flame though!

We had a fun day celebrating Julianna's life. She has been such a joy to our family.
