Ice, Ice Baby

We had an icy day today and decided to make the best of it by getting a little "outside time." We also had the best seat in the house watching all the neighborhood kids slide down the hill in their home-made sleds. :)

                                                             It was more slick than it looks...

                                                             She loved walking in it...

                                                       and didn't want to be held at all...

                             Before we went in, we decided to try to make our own home-made sled. She loved it!!

The end.

Family Talents

The Bedsole/Steadman Christmas was celebrated this weekend! Although I was not there, Eric told me about how much fun Delaney had performing for playing with everyone. :)                            

                                   She loved to show off her many talents like unwrapping gifts...

 THANK YOU!!

 We had a little trouble with our talent of getting toys out...

                                                            Terri Lynn helped her out...

And she also met her new best friend...

 Erol and Delaney were talented at feeding the penguin...

                                              Of course, Pop's talent was eating her snack...

Our "excited" face with Nannie...

                                                           and she acted silly some more...

              The food must have been wonderful, because she is great at leaving some behind on her face...:)

Delaney told me "Ter-lyn" was her pal.

I was told about how Delaney and Terri Lynn had so much fun playing with her Hello Kitty stickers. I love how Delaney looked at her in this picture. :)

                                                                        The little artist at work...

                                                           Working on her masterpiece...

                                                  and running around with Mary Beth...

  Then they decided to look out the window to  see if John and Kenny were there. Since we had shown all our talents, Delaney said her goodbyes with a kiss... :)

Morning Memories

Every now and then, Eric will send a picture of Delaney to me in the morning. He knows it is hard for me to go a whole school day without seeing her, so he makes it easier (maybe) by giving me the "surprise" of seeing her in an email. I have kept some of them, and I thought I would post them. They aren't camera quality, but it doesn't really matter to me. :)

 

Some cute things she is doing at 20 months (21 months in 8 days):

-Says two-three word phrases.
-Makes baby doll and monkey sit down for "party." (tea party)

-LOVES "o-gurt" and "pangcakes" (yogurt and pancakes) in the morning. Even when I'm microwaving something else, she thinks it is pancakes. :)

-Continues to love books and songs (her favorites right now are Cinderella and "My Bonnie.")

-She is starting to understand the potty and how it works. :)

                          

Bringin' in 2011!!

Today, we were thrilled to bring in the new year with family.  In addition to our hopes for health and happiness in the year of 2011, apparently Delaney is already working on the growth of her wealth...:)

The family happily donated any loose change. She is hoping this will lead to the success of her new year's aspiration...:)

 Whatcha got, Memaw?

 She gladly took paper money, too...:)

 After a round of donations, KK gave her a ladybug tent and book. She loved them!

 Daddy really loved putting it together...

 This picture says it all...

 Delaney was in heaven when Memaw joined her in the fun...

Happy New Year!

We hope you have a year full of good luck and prosperity. We will continue working on ours... :)
