(don't mommy and cousin Shannon look like sisters???)

Last week we had a special visit from our
California cousins Shannon and Talley.
They were in Texas visiting old friends
and relatives. It was so special having them
come to Austin for the first time~
Unfortunately, I missed the whole event because
I was at school BUT mommy and Maggs
had a lovely visit with them. I was
sad to have missed them but was
excited to receive the super groovy
princess bath set they left for me!
I just LOVE birthdays...
I keep getting treats and I haven't even
had my official birthday yet!
This year mommy and daddy are
giving me 1 present a day a week prior to my special day
to spread it out a little! No complaints here!
Only 3 days until I am THREE! Yipee for me!

Mommy's Thought for Thursday: My Baby is Almost 2...

Getting love from Kate and Neal...

Sitting around with Kate and Jackson...

Hi there Kate!

Look at me, I am lovable...

Getting love from mommy and Papa Neal...

I can't believe it...
My little pig is going to be
two, 3 weeks from today!
Yikes, where did the time go?
So much has happened in a year
and I am so grateful I have been
blogging so I have some form
of documentation of all that has
occurred. The good, the bad, and
the really sad. These pictures
were taken in early February 2008.
Paisley is at her Ya and Papa's
with her beloved cousins:
Kate, Neal and Jackson.
We have had many wonderful
moments with our families in
California over the past 2 years sharing our
Paisley with them. It is so different once you
have a child and the joy you
see them bring to so many different
people you love, too!

I also chose to post a picture of my
grandfather reaching out to touch
Paisley. They had such an amazing
connection. She talks about him
almost every day. It amazes me that a
child who has not physically seen someone
since they were 15 months old can remember
them so vividly. I love when Paisley "talks"
to her Papa Neal. She will "call" him on
the phone and say: "Papa Neal. How ya doin'?
I ate bok bok, dip dip, fries and a fork!"
Every time she does this, my heart melts.
This is one of the reasons I adore my girl~
She has such a big heart. She loves her
family and her friends deeply.

Over the next 3 weeks we will begin
the countdown to our little pig's big birthday...
I will post way too many pictures, lists of favorites,
favorite memories, adventures, travels, etc.
I will completely understand if you boycott
Piggy Press until after February 19th...
Although you may miss something
BIG, EXCITING, and NEW!

Lots of love,
Paisley's Mommy
