these pics were taken before thanksgiving. the day after we bought the beloved boots.
her speech is so stinking cute right now. starting to say so much more.. little sentences. so many new words daily. her newest is yoook! (look!) this started when she discovered christmas lights on houses… now everything out the window is yooooook! yoooooook! i wuv it. 🙂 elsie has such a great memory too! i love the things that she recalls! the other day at starbucks, a lady was in front of me in line…els stood behind her.. and the thing that was in elsie’s eye level was this lady’s jean logo. elsie went up to point at it but i stopped her 😉 she was so excited to discover this because they are the jeans i wear. i guess i never thought that all day when she’s following me.. she’s staring at that logo! ha! we started pulling our christmas stuff out yesterday.. and she is so giddy. i can’t wait to experience christmas with her this year! on sunday we lit the advent candle at church.. and on stage is the nativity scene. els was enthralled by baby jesus.. she went right up and was ready to scoop him up. 🙂
check out those yellow leaves behind her! my street is amazing at this time of year. i always say i am going to take pics but by the time i get out there all the leaves have fallen. 🙂

Margaret is 35 months today! What big girls we have now.
I just got Margaret a pair of rubber boots at H&M – I am a bargin hunter and they were only $5 so of course I had to get them — Margaret loves them so much – just like little Elsie.
I wonder what the attraction is? I think it might be that she can put them on and off with no problems and then clunk around as she likes. So cute.
I wish we had some leaves left on the trees — our leaves are all on the ground – I guess we will rake in the Spring because it is so cold here and the leaves are pretty much frozen to the ground!
BTW – LOVE your Dec 1st stuff! Inspiring as heck.

I love your blog, I do. The lovely pages and projects and family things. But the post at the top that won’t go away promoting your new photography business is, just being honest here, getting a little annoying… It always throws me off that my feed said it was updated, but it must not be.. oh, wait. And then a little twinge of annoyance. Probably just me. But it would be so much more authentic if you just posted a link to the side and let us know when it was updated so we could go visit when we wanted. Because I love your photography, too! Just the positioning of that link has been driving me batty, and perhaps other people, too.

So sorry. No longer anon, but it looks like my opinion isn’t really going to be listened to. That is fine, it is your blog, and certainly your option to post links however you see fit, as it is my option to stop reading.
Thanks for the inspiration, I have truly enjoyed Jamie’s style and it has influenced my own…
