four years of loving Leah Bean...

here are her birthday party pictures. At the last minute Tutt and I thought about making her a puppet theater. Then I thought, well, let's make sock puppets for her at the party!
Also she wanted a unicorn cake with purple hair and a pink sparkle horn (is that what they are called?) so I had to come up with a cake to make her day..and from the squeals and the "it's perfect mommy!" I think I achieved my goal.

It's not perfect but it made her day!

three facts about my friends Jeanni and Ben...

1. they are completely gorgeous. Both on the outside but definitely on the inside!
2. Ben is my hero, he summed up my pathetic algebra skills with a diagnosis of Acalculia:in which patients have difficulty performing simple mathematical tasks, such as adding, subtracting, multiplying. I'm not dumb! I have a syndrome, wait is that better?
3. they LOOOOVE each other, they love to laugh and they LOVE their family!!
