Sweet Freya Memory

It wasn't all that long ago, back in October 2008, when my niece Freya started walking. But I ran across this video and of course had to post such sweet baby antics. First you'll notice she loves the word "baby" - still does. They fascinate her. Then, after a few pit stops to see some toys, she walks the length of the basement surprising even herself.

I hope you enjoy!

My Miniature Cow

Emily, how can you deprive me of such a cute addition to the family? The miniature scottish highland breed are so adorable with all the red hair. Kinda like a toddler we know.... the cow would fit right in to the family.

And look - the cow would even play well with goats! We could name her Molly, since Molls named her bunny after me. Fair is fair...

Baby Goats at the Mason Farm

Ben has baby goats at his house! Just more additions to the Mason clan (the chickens don't really count because frankly they aren't that smart and they seem to only have one brain). But goats, they are actually friendly. Though mommy goats can get their temper up. Now I'm waiting for the miniature cow Emily promised me (well, maybe not "promised"... but I definitely had my heart set on it) - possibly a miniature scottish highlander. hint hint

Jake, PJ and Will

I've had so much fun being Aunt Sally since Jacob entered the world with his serious little face (I never noticed eyebrows on a baby before Jacob's patented "concerned" look). Then, PJ the angel arrived -well, I think his mom Amy would debate the term "angel".... And, Will who follows his own drum beat and does things in his own time. These are the most wonderful three boys. I'm so grateful to be a part of their lives. Love ya, Amy!

Benji

BENJAMIN!! My nephew Ben is the most adorable little boy. How can you not love this face?!

Freya's Baptism

Today my 21 month old niece was baptised. Is it not terrible that a crying baby can be so darn cute? Freya handled her drenching very well. Though she was very clearly mad at all of us immediately afterwards. Particularly Godmother Aunt Emily, who bore the brunt of the blame and shared in the drenching a bit. Thankfully, Freya does not seem to hold a grudge (as yet). And Aunt Emily redeemed herself with great presents and a chance to play with Freya's cousin Ben. This day was extra special because Freya's Dad and Grandmother D were here all the way from England. She is one very loved baby!
