Chair of 3 Generations of Shockley's

When I was little, my father gave me a little wooden rocking chair that was his when he was a child. It was something I sat in and used for years until I got too big for it. It sat in our living room near the fire place and I dragged it all over the house to sit in it (and even outside as the picture below shows). Back in October I thought Scarlet was about the right size for it, so I retrieved the chair from our attic storage, cleaned it up, and presented it to her one day. She sat right down in it and has been using it ever since just like her Daddy did - dragging it around and using it where and when she likes. I think her favorite thing is sitting watching cartoons in our bedroom in the mornings while Mama and Da-da finish getting ready for work! :)

Ah, cartoons and bunny - life is good!

"I'm ready to go to school this morning Da-Da!"

So, SO Far behind - catch up photos.....

This is an official Scarlet blog apology to everyone. We have really been awful at getting ANY new pictures of Scarlet out here on her blog. And it is not like we've stopped taking pictures. Far from it. In fact we've taken a HUNDREDS of photos of her over the last few months. It just seems that we've had so much going on, that the blog is always put on the bag burner. Sorry everybody. We will try our best to do better! I've got a bunch of pictures selected to go out here from October and November and there's a whole lot of new December pictures coming after that as well. But first, here's a few missing September photos. We'll call these the orange plaid dress with bunny (and maybe a phone - one of her other favorite things - I know, it is starting way too early). Enjoy, and get ready for a lot of catch up pictures to come in the next few days!!!
