almost a year

Sorry for the lack of posts from the Lofton casa, blogger friends! I just haven't made the time to post anything lately. The only excuse I can think of is that I finally gave in and joined Facebook, so I've been spending my internet time on it rather than the blog, but I will try to balance both of them. I honestly don't want to spend too much time on either b/c there's so many other things to do, but I love keeping in touch with everyone, and of course posting pics of Oaklee girl. Here's the latest ones from last weekend. She's about to turn a year old in 2 weeks! I delight in spending my days with her. It gets better all the time. Her vocab now includes "Uh-oh", "Bawww" (for 'ball'), "Da-da", "Woof woof" (minus the 'f', but she loves the dogs), "Ooh-ooh-ah-ah" (for a monkey sound), "Maaa" (isn't quite saying mama, but we're working on it), and "Pop pop" (for her grandpa and for some of her toys). We're all enjoying the magical fall weather here in DQ. This is my favorite time of year, I think.
