Another funny

Yesterday I took Allie to the doctor for her 12-month visit and vaccinations. Before we even got to the shots, she was really, really mad. Bright red face, yelling and chewing the doctor out in her own language. She didn't want to be touched or looked at and she was letting us know. The doctor finished up and as she was leaving said, "Bring her back at 15 months" and Allie looked down and the floor and said, "Nooooooo." I think I heard the doctor laughing out in the hall for a solid minute.

Kids crack me up.

Yesterday I was with the 2 littlest ones walking around Target. I was in the garden section and saw one of those horrendously freaky little garden gnomes. I actually think they're hilarious, probably because of King of the Hill, and would have bought it if it wasn't upwards of $20. As I'm standing there contemplating, Anna looks at Freaky Gnome and says in her sweet little voice, "Oooohhhh. Pretty Santa."

ONE

Our baby is a year old today! I can't believe it! A year ago last night, on Father's Day, I was sitting in my brother's living room pretty miserable, and my sisters were telling me I was in labor. I didn't believe them. . . but later that night went into full-blown labor, and early in the morning, there was our little redhead. We sure love her, and we were blessed to have such a delightful little surprise.
