Juniper's World

Just hangin' out on my potty, wearin' my sisters shoes, spyin' on the neighbors....

finally some pics!

Ok, some very overdue posts are being composed right now, but in the meantime... some pics!  These are from just a couple days ago.  Aloka got a bob a few weeks ago, so she's sporting a new look.   She actually does this hairdo pretty much every summer i think!

Here she is on our swing in our yard:

We often make berries and pink whipped cream... the girls love it.

Our year so far

It's been a hard few weeks.  It's been a particularly harsh cold/flu season, and there was a very nasty flu going around that we all caught.  Aloka got it first a few weeks ago, she had a fever for 5 days, but then bounced right back.  Then I got it not long after and was down for 7 days with fever and another week and a half with respiratory issues and total exhaustion (still dealing with that).  During the time I caught it, Richard was on vacation from work to try and install our floors, but he ended up being the nurse.  Then Junie caught it when i was still sick, and then Richard.  He was able to fight it pretty good, and only had it for a couple days.  Needless to say, it's been a rough month!

But, something fun to report which i think i completely forgot to mention, is that Aloka got her ears pierced!  It was just after Xmas, and for Valentines Day I gave her some beautiful dangly heart earrings and she took our her first earrings for the first time today to put on her new ones.  It was very exciting and I'll post some pics of them soon (have to take them first).  But in the meantime, here are some pics of the snow at our house, and Aloka skiing.  She is in a XCountry ski class that she is loving!  And it's only 5 minutes from our house, bonus!

 This is from over a month ago.  There's more now, can you believe it??

Aloka at ski school!

Toothless Smile!

Missing her two front teeth, and two bottoms, makes for a pretty cute smile.
