Lots has happened over the last couple of months.
My sister Audrey gave Kailey a Snow White costume for Christmas. Kailey was instantly transformed the minute she put the dress on. She gracefully curtsied to everyone in the room as if it were her coronation night. 
Michael went skiing with friends during 'white out' conditions that left him with an ice beard.
Mom sent Kailey heart stickers and heart shaped hair clips for Valentine's Day.
Kailey turned four in February. We had a gymnastics party that was really fun. A friend of ours made a beautiful cake complete with pink flowers and ribbons. She also put what she thought was a sparkler on top to serve as a candle. I decided not to light it because we were in a gym. Good thing. When we got the "sparkler" home, Michael looked at it more closely to discover that it really was a bottle rocket.
Kailey, Annabelle, Amya and Saylor decided to dress up as fairies and stab their orange snacks while at playgroup. Fairies can be so mysterious.
Michael needed to get golf pictures for the Hood River Chamber of Commerce. He had me dress up like a golfer to act as a model for the shoot. While we were there, the golf pro gave Kailey a little lesson. Guess what picture was purchased by the Chamber? All my hairspray and makeup for naught. I guess that's why they say to never go on stage with animals or children. They are waaaaayyy more fun to watch!
We finally bit the bullet and hired a landscaping company to install stairs up to our garden. After two years of a muddy slope, we are so excited to have these gorgeous stairs. I hope to plant rock cress along the borders so that it cascades down the rocks. Our dream garden is taking shape.Kailey and daddy love to make cookies. And I love to eat them.
That's all from Lake Woebegone.
