too bad cute doesn't win you the game!

HOME

I returned last night from a long week of meetings, and boy am I glad to be home! Car enjoyed replacing my empty suitcase with her cute little buns today! *while I was away Patrick did a great job holding down the fort, and even bought Caroline that cute pink doggie nightgown that she is wearing.

Stuck

Yesterday afternoon I heard Caroline lightly fussing in the kitchen, I figured that she couldn't reach her cup or was struggling with a toy, but I walked in to find this! She was stuck in the kitchen chair! I had to snap a picture before I rescued her! HA!
