Yo yo yo!!

Angela is almost walking! The little bean. She pushes herself up to stand. And she is pretty stable. She takes a few steps every once and a while. Britt  babysat on Tuesday and said that Ange was taking steps! 

She does her high pitched scream still, though has learned to stop when I put my finger to my mouth. However, she then started to growl. lol But the growling is alot better than the squealing! My mom and I went shopping yesterday, and we were in this tiny little store and there were 2 older  women behind the counter, and Angela squealed SO loud that these poor women's hearts were racing and they looked as though they were about to have a heart attack!! 

Anyhoo, that's really all the news for now! 

Yipee yipee!

Now, I probably already mentioned this, but Ange is crawling up the stairs! lol She crawled up a couple today. I only got one on video because her skirt was interfering and she ended up trying to climb up her skirt. lol

Here are some recent photos. Oh, how I love my beanlet.

Video!

This is a movie I took when we were in Boston. lol We were stuck under a little shelter because we were by the Sea and it was CRAZY!!! There were rocks flying at us and we couldn't even talk to each other the wind was so strong. lol It was hilarious. 

Our new mac!!

This is us outside the first LDS church in England. It was so amazing to go see it. And Donny Osmond was there just before us!!

Angela is crawling all over. 

She has become so independent and just goes off and does her own thing. She took 3 steps last week on her own and she starting to stand on her own as well. 

The weather has been crazy! We have had 4 or 5 snowstorms in February alone!! 

Here is one day, shot from our front door. This was the afternoon when it had begun. 

Here is a video of Angela squealing. She does this every time we open the front door whether it is night or day. That night she was just crazy. lol 

We are very much looking forward to the spring that the groundhogs predicted would come shortly!!! We can't wait to have play dates at the park and picnics and all those fun things!! 

Speaking of which... We went to Pam's last Thursday for a playdate with Logan and Jakob. Ange gets very excited when she sees her friends and she squeals very loudly! And poor Jakob cries every time she does it. She is so loud!! Haha  

Ruth and I are taking a cake decorating class for some fun. It has been nice to get out and spend time with a friend doing something fun! It is on Tuesdays, so we miss out on our Stars and Strollers... I do so much love Stars and Strollers!!!!! Can't wait to go again. 

Anyhow, I just wanted to get some stuff up here. The site won't let me post any more pictures, so that will have to wait until next time! 

Oh my goodness!

Well, Angela will be 8 months tomorrow! I cannot believe how the time has flown by! She is such a smart little bean!

She loves to crawl around and chase her daddy. We play peek-a-boo and she gets so excited!

Recently, whenever we open the front door, she freaks out! She loves it! She starts squealing so loudly and she makes little fists and shakes her arms. lol It is so funny. We have a bit on video... Once I find that cord I'll be able to put it up!

She crawled up the stairs yesterday! lol She was so proud of herself. She was standing on the stairs holding the rail and shaking her little bum. It was so funny.

Anyhow, other than that, life is cruising by. I painted the dining room last week. It's a burnt orange colour!! It looks really good. =)

We are so blessed! We miss our family in England but hope to see them soon! It was very hard to leave...

Anyhow, we have lots to do today!! xoxo

We are all doing very well!! Jamie is still doing work and university, though thankfully he has a lighter workload than the previous semesters, so we get to see him much more!

Angela is crawling around and pulling herself up to stand on anything that is stable enough to do so!! She loves to watch Baby Einstein and she loves making noise.

We have not uploaded our pictures from both the Boston holiday and our England holiday. I have temporarily mislaid the cord so we will do that as soon as we find it! :)

I decided to paint the dining room this week. We have all the paint for the main floor in the basement so I got into one of those crazy power-woman moods and went for it! It's the finishing touches that always seem to take so long.... Anyhow, I'll get a picture of that up too. I found some gorgeous drapes for the back door and I am very excited!!!!!!!! It's so exciting to own a home!

Anyhow, we are off to do some grocery shopping and check out some cake stuff at Michael's. I am hoping to make and sell specialty cakes in the near future. I will also put up those pictures when I get the chance! :)

Holiday in England!!

We have been in England since Christmas day and we are leaving tomorrow. :(
It has been a great visit! We went to London a few times, Leeds Castle - So beautiful!!! We went to this awesome mall, Bluewater and it's built basically in a big hole in the ground! lol

We have had lots of fun visiting friends and family and we are sad to go!

Angela still isn't over the jet lag so going home should be all right! :)
