Merry Christmas 2012!

Gemma Counts

Gemma can actually count to 16, but in this video, she counts pom poms to 11.  Gushing mom, but I think it's so cute.

Happy Birthday Grandma Seal

Dear Grandma Seal,
even though I couldn't get Gemma to sing in this video, she still wishes you a happy birthday.  Hope it's a good one. We love you.
xo!

The Master at work

So, Gemma loves to draw, and she's been drawing with whatever she's allowed to draw with for a long time now, but when we were at the store the other day, I bought her a $1 watercolor kit, and let her loose on it yesterday morning.  She was enthralled with it, and by  the end of the day she had used up the entire pallette.  Here are her first ever paintings.  They make a great triptych, no?

Recent Happenings: lots of fits and first time pigtails!

 

Into my eyeliner again.  I turned around in the car to find her covered in black eyeliner and in a fit.

 

First Pigtails!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA CROW!!! XO!

Gemma Lou Turns 2!!!!

So, we've got a big girl on our hands these days.  Gemma turned two this weekend.  We had a birthday celebration with cake, friends and presents.  She had a great time!  Here are some  pictures from the big day.
