Guess who’s walking . . . and I have a question!
Well, he’s finally doing it. Our little Leo is walking! It’s still that drunken sailor sort of gait, but we’ll take it.

Naturally, he’s into everything—and has also taken several falls. All part of learning to walk. But it’s such a sweet time. Meanwhile little sister Ari is still getting adjusted to her new world and is a precious little bundle of snuggles. And spit up. : )
I just love looking at her tiny hands…
[image error][image error][image error]I recently decided to get a swing much like the ones we had for our kids when they were little. Gracious, these “kid appliances,” while luxuries, certainly are helpful. The gorgeous afghan in the second picture was made by my precious Aunt Jean Dickey and is so comfy and warm. Not to mention a treasure since Aunt Jean made it.
Joe and I are incredibly blessed to be able to keep our two little grands a couple of days a week while our son and daughter-in-law are at work, and we have such fun together. Although I will say that come Tuesday and Thursday evenings, we’re both fairly tired. LOL
A question for you parents and grandparents: I’m looking for a good baby-proofing solution for our cabinets and drawers. Instead of going with a more old-school version, I found this one on Amazon. It has good ratings, but I’m wondering if anyone in our community has something else they’d personally recommend. Anyone?
I’m busy racing toward another deadline and am ready to have this first solid draft completed, so I can dive back into rewrites. I live for rewrites. It’s like Christmas in Spring. It’s where the book really takes on deeper meaning and characterization, where the setting comes alive, too, with all the sensory details.
Until then, I’m incredibly grateful for our own Deb (Raney), my writing critique partner, who will start reading for me soon. She always offers such great insight and ideas, not to mention catches so many mistakes. I wouldn’t want to write a book without her! (Yep, Deb, I’m talkin’ to you, woman. Get ready. It’s coming your way.)
Blessings on your Tuesday, friends,
Tammy
