Hollis loves Koa

Hollis has loved Koa since she first laid eyes on her (at like 3 months old)...recently she has taken an even greater liking to her, because now she can actually get to Koa on her own. I'm not sure if Koa loves Hollis as much as Hollis loves Koa. Hollis will approach Koa, the dog's tail will wag, she will let Hollis hit her in the face a few times, Koa will suddenly move, and Hollis will fall and hit her head on the floor. It happened a few times like that tonight, and it will be nice when Hollis and Koa both understand the word "gentle".

Honey's New Trick

Thanks Sierra!

Hollis' friend Sierra gave her some new cool, purple boots. They are a little big at the moment, but that didn't stop us trying them on and modeling them. Thanks Sierra!

Happy Fall!

I love fall. Here are my favorite things:

1) Spiced cider and mulling spices simmering on the stove

2) Cooler temperatures so that you have to wear a cozy sweater or sweatshirt

3) Crazy weather that makes you stay inside or bundling up to enjoy it outside

4) Pumpkin patches 

5) Football

Here is my recent fall project made with my best friend Sarah. I adore white pumpkins!

Hollis Loves Her Daddy

We made a quick trip to Whistler, and Hollis just loves her Dad.

Another trip to DC

Hollis gets to ride on her Grand Daddy's shoulders, and meets her Great Grandpa for the first time. Go Redskins!

Busy Day

Hollis and I had a busy day. She began crawling, held and drank from a sippy cup, and started waving 'bye-bye' today. Phew! While she was resting from all the activity, I painted our family room and kitchen. It need a face lift. There was a butter-cream yellow on the walls, and Neal and I were both sick of it. We chose two rich, warm shades of grey. I'm in love with it. It's such an improvement over the yellow. It adds so much dimension to the room. Good job mommy, good job Hollis.
