Walker update!

We are doing great. We are super busy with clogging competitions, but we get some time now and then for fun. For example, Robbie and his friend Greg were sent to go move a mattress...when I went to check how it was going, this is how I found them. :) We started brushing Ivy's teeth, er, gums. :) At first she didn't like it at all - but now she giggles every time we do it. So, Ivy is in this stage of major stranger anxiety...but she has no problem with kids - any kids. This is the first time she met sweet Macy and the first thing she did was give her a big kiss. And believe it or not, Ivy is standing all by herself! She is standing ALL the time now. Before you know it she will be a "WALKER". (get it?) Grandma Tolman - thank you so much for the Valentine's card. Ivy loved it! I discovered the best babysitter: the laundry basket. The best part is, it doesn't charge me a thing! This was just a sweet moment...thought I would share. Ivy is really starting to get how to play. It's so fun - she will come up to us and start playfully screaming while she bites our bellies or knees...she thinks she's tickling. It's awfully cute. Like I said, we're doing fine. The economy is stressful, and we're always worried about our finances...but with a sweet face like this running around the house, it doesn't keep us down for long! Happy belated Valentine's Day everyone!

Oh, little Ivy, I need you to do me a favor. FREEZE! Stop growing right now! I miss you so much and I feel like I am missing out on all of your little accomplishments! You are so beautiful and it sounds like you are taking good care of your Mommy and Daddy. I love you beauty!

I have a feeling it won't be so cute when Ivy bites your knees with her little teeth. Also, I giggled to myself about her being a "Walker" soon. You're funny. I'm glad your family is well.

The world is in a tailspin that is a fact...but the love you have shows the world there is hope in spite of everything else happening...Heavenly Father blesses you for it and He blesses us because we get to share in your company. I love you so much!
