home

in line with the simplifying - and de-cluttering - i snapped this shot of our previously heavily holiday adorned mantle. it now has very little on it (plant on one side, and a family statue on the other) besides this wonderful reminder of our "center", and angel given to me by my mom, and the really pretty mirror edging that hangs above it. i swear everytime i look into the living room i am happily reminded of the simple decor and the changes that were made there. i love the fresh, clean look. i think i am rubbing off on the redheads here too... they seem to be simplifying as well. ah ... good stuff.



and because my friend Nat asked for a perspective shot - this will make you smile, i would think. :o)


that my friends is the paw of a 10 month old (on the 12th) newfie ... he has said paw on an 8"x8" ceramic tile, and that's my dad's tape measure. 4"paw.

large, and cuddly. he looked me right in the eye when he saw the camera (again!) and stretched out as far as he could. then i laid the tape next to his paw, he looked at it, and put his head right back down. totally not interested. he kills me. truly a gentle spirit.

did ya' smile? ;)

LOL, Karin - I think I have a buddy for Higgins. ;) I tried to take a picture of her tootsies, but she kept scrunching them up, and while they may be slightly smaller that Higgins' feet, they aren't by much! In fact, Emma is just *bigger* than Cinnamon. She's not bigger than her yet, but her bone structure, her face, her feet (esp. her feet) are bigger. Cinnamon, by comparison, is a petite little thing. Except for her hips, bless her heart. ;)
