Two things:
First... Evie's new toy box. You can see it in the background. It's purple and my mom and I found it at a local consignment shop that supports the rescue mission. It was inexpensive and exactly what I was looking for.
Evie and I have spent most of the afternoon playing in her bedroom, something normally reserved for the living room floor.
Now that we actually have toys in her bedroom, I forsee lots of bedroom floor play in the future.
I'm also kind of a sucker for space where stuffed animals and dolls can be neatly lined up.
And her sweet little feet.
Second... I made a bucket list. A little cliche but that's okay... everyone should have one.
1. Take a family vacation to Dollywood
2. Buy a house
3. Finish paying off student loans and medical bills
4. Take Evie to Disney World

Great bucket list! I've never been to Dollywood, but it sounds like fun! Sounds like you have a thing for Ms. Parton... ;)
Oh - I love baby toes too! They are just so darn cute!
I have a bucket list too!!! Isnt it funny how you want to not only experiance things for yourself, but also make sure your child has those experiances.
I love your bucket list! I feel like I need to make one!
Love the photos (natch!) and the list. If we were closer, I could help you with learning sign language. Then maybe you'd also be one down on your blog friends list.
:+)
These are great! You've inspired me to create my own bucket list. I mean, I made one when I was 20, but now that I'm 36 and a mom I think I need a new one. You've also inspired me to pay for the person behind me next time I go to Taco Bell :-)
Great Blog! Keep up the good work.
