My little artist and the Many Faces of Ann!

Molly drew me a picture today and it struck me how much her drawings have changed since the beginning of kindergarten. Molly is such an artist - she loves to draw and spends a great deal of time at the kitchen table chatting with me and drawing or coloring. I have trouble not saving ALL of Molly's pictures - she puts so much time, energy and thought into each of them.


A picture left on my pillow in October - this was right after my surgery (gall bladder) and I came out of the shower to find this waiting for me. I wrote on the back that when Molly came into my room after I found it she was crying and told me that she was going to pray for me every night so I could stop going to the hospital for surgery all the time. What a sweet baby girl!
This is Januray - Molly and Peter playing outside of our house - if only our house were that big! Molly had just learned to jump rope!
My girl drew me a picture tonight so that I would not miss her and Annie while they were in bed tonight - love that kid! I can't believe how her people have changed over the last few months!

I never put Annie in blue because people always think she is a boy but Karla gave me this sleeper and I thought she looked gorgeous with those big blue eyes. She was also hamming it up for the camera - yes, she smiles the second she sees the camera come out! So I took 10 pictures of my daughter looking goofy and sweet!

Sweet smiles for Mama!
Silly smiles for Mama!
Just plain cute!
She was doing the Annie dance in this one!
And yelling for Mama to take more pictures! This one is my favorite.
I apologize for the crazy amount of pictures of Annie in the same outfit with different expressions - every once in a while I have a true Mommy moment and just find one of the kids too cute not to show from every angle. Annie was in one of her moods tonight - laughing, giggling and yelling at the top of her lungs! What a fun baby she is!
I have to say a quick thank you to KK who took care of Annie (and Annie's Mom - but that's a story for another day) so Bob and I could work on Thursday and Friday. I think Annie is missing her - she keeps looking past Bob and I expecting someone more fun to appear. KK also indulged Molly in new undies - one pair on her bottom and the others in bed with her right now - no joke! So KK rocks, as usual!

OK...the many faces of Annie are all absolutely adorable! That kid is pure love. God! I am so in love with her. Thank you so much for letting me be an Annie hog when I was home. I really feel like we know each other so well now. What a gift it was!
Of course, the same is true for Peter and Molly. Not having children of my own, I feel very fortunate to have them in my life and you and Bob always make it so easy for me to spend time with them and make me feel like I have a special place in your family. Wow! Very sentimental. I'm getting soft in my old age. Any hoo, I'm looking forward to many more great times with the Harding-Wheeler's when I move back to CT. Love you all! XOXO
P.S. I check this blog like Annie smiles...a million times a day!
