This is the second installment of my blog.  I have sort of figured out how to post a picture and text, but not how to make a background or some kind of way of making it look nice!

This is a picture of the beginning of the "gaposis" that little kids have from the time their first baby tooth falls out until the last of their adult teeth have come in all the way.  Her father lost his first tooth at a little over five, so I expected her to lose them early.  However, she is still four months away from turning five!

Some other sewing and crocheting I have been doing includes dressing Ashlyn's dolls.  First of all, I am thrilled that she is becoming more interested in dolls.  So far, she has loved her stuffed animals to death but barely given her dolls the time of day!  Not that it would really matter if she never liked dolls, but it would certainly be more fun for me!  I have always loved dolls, and sewing for them is great fun! 

Anyway, here is the outfit I made for one of her two favorite dolls, over a couple of evenings.   The picture isn't great, but I will try to get a better one.  I am also working on a pattern/tutorial for the dress and crocheted hat, both of which were easy.

One more Ashy picture is one of her with one of the three surprise kittens her little cat presented her with.  They had an appointment, on a Monday, to have her spayed.  However, on Sunday morning, Ashy went into her parents' room and said, "Um....I think Marlie had babies".  There were three tiny kittens, one white (which is now getting Siamese markings), one buff tabby, and a smokey gray baby.  We are all thanking the Lord that she had only three, and as soon as they are weaned, she will be getting spayed! 

Not to forget my precious grandson, here are two new pics of him, sitting in the stroller, watching my oldest son working in the garage.  Ashy spends 4 or 5 days a week here, while her parents are at work, and we very rarely go more than 48 hours without seeing her.  We don't get to see Jayce anywhere near as much. I have fewer stories about him, because of that, but I love him every bit as much!  He's a beautiful and very intelligent little guy, who has the longest attention span of any baby his age I've ever known!  He especially loves things with moving pieces.  I expect him to be a famous inventor some day!
