It's Thank You Week on Miranda Makes. Starting out with a heartfelt thank you to the Towles family (Owners of aMuse Toys) for everything they do for our family throughout the year and for the awesome Christmas gift for Fiona. I am totally obsessed. Oh, and Fiona loves it, too. ;) (Fairy finger puppet theater by Käthe Kruse.)
Getting ready for Hanukkah, Fiona is "being Yaya." (Fiona can say "Elijah'" but he will always be her "Yaya" I suspect.)
Why it takes us an hour to walk one block... ;)
Three out of five.
Wiggle!
So happy to have a baby to nap in my arms again. :)
Is that a little smile I see?
Elsa, 18 days old. Does she look like Fiona at that age? What do you think?
Fiona's latest work.
Today and always, I am thankful for the courage and sacrifice of our military men and women and their families, who sacrifice so much in service to our country.
The best apple muffins ever. Aaannnnd, they were kind of my recipe! They were adapted from Soulemama's recipe for berry muffins (seen in this post), with some substitutions made and apple sauce and diced apples added. Yum! Perfect for this Fall-like weather.
He's a really good dad. You all know that already. :)
Sweet boy lost a tooth.
Dollhouse family's day at the beach.
