The aforementioned pictures
This first pic is of some boxes I covered in scrapbooking paper to put up in Mim's room. I like how they turned out. Wow, it was forever ago that I made these, like back when Mim was just itty bitty.
Daddy-daughter nap.
This is while the men folk were out cutting up the tree and hauling it to the field.
The tree. They cut it on a diagonal so not only did it cover almost our entire front lawn, but it went into the road, too.
Bath time faces.
Smug about bath time.
Koala-baby. She doesn't do this as much anymore. She used to latch on with all four appendages when I changed her diaper or was snapping up a onesie. The only time she does this now is when she's super hungry and crawls over to me to try to suck on my leg.
Yep, that's spit-up. All three of us (Mike, Mim, me) thought it was pretty funny.
This is the bedskirt/curtain project. I made something like 30 6'x10' blocks and 12 4'x10' blocks. I will for sure post when I've finished; I think it's going to be pretty cute. I'm also doing a little doll quilt that will match these that Mim'll get for Christmas.
I wanted to put up a pic of Mim in the dress my mom (Grandma) made for her for Kaid and Jenny's wedding. It has a super full skirt and now it's even cuter because Mim can sit up and the dress spreads all around her. Aww.... (There's also a little red sash and flower that go on it, but those are usually sucked on until they're soaking wet within the first 10 minutes she has them on.)
Cox family reunion, at the Scera pool. After Mim had enough of the water, she hung out with Grandpa.
Lookin' so good at Kaid and Jenny's wedding.
All the pictures where Mike was smiling normally were either blurry or I looked dorky. He's still a handsome dude, though.
I think my dad is a handsome dude also.
Tee-hee. Ki forgot to take Kita's shorts off that she wore up to Salt Lake, so Ki was telling her to show everyone, and it didn't take Arie long at all to catch on.
Brand new married! My brother, another handsome dude, and his lovely bride (and my new sis-in-law!), Jenny.
Taken within the first few days of her sitting up by herself. I also love that dress and knew she would grow out of it soon. :(
Playing with Mim's hair after bath time. I called this one "The Unicorn."
This is why:

I love it
I love it when Mim goes all sleeping baby limp after I rock her to sleep. Ah, bedtime.
I love it that wonderful Mike is grocery shopping. He volunteered. Probably because we're out of chicken and milk, both of which he loves. Add to the equation that we went vegetarian for dinner tonight plus this is the last night Macey's has their chicken on for $1.49/lbs, and you get a husband that's at the grocery store without me bugging him like crazy.
I love it that our house is almost finished being rewired. The electricians are really nice and good people, but it's just weird to have a stranger in your house all day.
I love it that it's been all fall-y these last couple of days.
I love it that I figured out how to save more of the wood from the scrap pile. I hate wasting and prefer to save everything that might somehow be useful someday. I may or may not be a packrat.
I love it all.

For realsies
"There's a raccoon in our engine." Mike's exact words to me yesterday. I hustled out to see, and sure enough...
Not exactly in the engine, but definitely under the hood. We lured it out with a piece of bread I threw under the car and then let it go on its way. It was just a little guy.
Still no power to the desktop, where most of the pictures are, but some of the most recent event photos were still on the camera, so here we have the first time I did Mim's hair in a little ponytail.
The first time I did Mim's hair in two little ponytails (Cindy Loo Who style).
And check out this bed head- the aftermath of two little ponytails. The sad face is a result of me standing there and taking a bunch of pictures instead of getting her out of her crib.
