This isn't the most recent scan. Say hello to our new baby!
All about dressing up ...
Edith loves dressing up. She likes to try on her next size clothes and shoes and walk around the room in them, showing off how they look from every angle. Sometimes, I'm shocked at just how girly she can be.
She just doesn't know what to do with the eye mask. Somehow, this is the best option she can come up with.
Oh, and she loves jewelry.
Trashing the dress
Our wedding day was pretty rushed, what with two ceremonies and a four hour drive between them. Our pictures were also rather rushed. They aren't our favourite. So, we redid them (3 years later) the way that we would have liked them, relaxed and fun. I'd been really excited to do this for months, but when the day arrived, I was less than enthusiastic; I'd forgotten how uncomfortable wedding dresses are. Also, I felt a bit silly parading around the house in this dress that I completely altered for modesty's sake (since my own dress was apparently off limits). Our friend Kelsey came over to take the photos. She did such an amazing job!
We really did have an absolute whale of a time!
Unfortunately, there weren't any pictures of these beautiful shoes that I bought to go with the ensemble. I do love them, though. (I took this photo for some inanimate object practice.)
(I had to sneak Edith in here somewhere.)
And then, the trashing!!
Runny frosting! I really didn't want it on my face.
I was too messy to go anywhere near the house, so I had to strip off outside while everyone looked the other way. That was pretty tricky. I got stuck more than once.
Overall, it was such an awesome use of a wedding dress. Thank you eBay seller!
With a capital T and that rhymes with E and that stands for Edith!
Also available live.

Let it snow .. except when I have to go somewhere
It snowed all day yesterday. It must have snowed all night, as well. When we woke up this morning, there was SO MUCH SNOW (even in non-British terms)!!!
(This is just because Edith is so supremely cute!)
It's still snowing. I thought that it had stopped, but was sadly mistaken. Anyway, after breakfast, I thought that it would be fun to take Edith out for her first (real .. since last year could hardly count; she was way too young to even be aware) snow. It lasted less than 5 minutes. I put her wellies on .. which are a size too big, 2 sweaters, mittens, a scarf, her hat, and a wool coat (yes, she's a red coat) and out we went.
She's not really standing in the snow. It was way too deep for her little legs.
Like I said, the wellies are too big. This is where we went inside.
And just as a side note, Edith loves socks.
Hey look! an update!!
I needed a bit of practice, so Ash went outside with Edith and we shot a few photos. I was really happy with the way that they turned out. Here are two of my favorites.
Ash is doing "round and round the garden" with Edith in this picture. She loves it!
I realized that there are loads of pictures of Edith with her daddy, but very few with mummy. Ash has been really working on taking some of the two of us since we made the discovery. This is one of my favorites.
These little beauties were for the ward's munch and mingle on Halloween. I thought that they were so funny (and creepy, as Martha Steward promised). They were malt cupcakes with a green (obviously) chocolate malt icing. I loved them, but oddly enough, they didn't go down as well as expected with the kiddies.
