Where Sleeping Turkeys Lay

Shhhhhh! It's quiet time and Mommy is dreamily knitting and enjoying the silence. Suddenly there is an unexpected noise from the stairway. Mommy softly sets the pink work of art down and picks up the camera. Tiptoeing over she snaps a picture of the culprit caught in the act!


Aparently she had been there a while.

On the move

Saoirse has found great joy in her growing ability to be mobile. She is constantly showing us her stuff. She can now climb stairs, scoot on the car toy, and climb, climb, climb.
