For those of you who don't know, we lost a bunny over the Christmas holidays. I know we had all of them when we went to see Santa several weekends ago, but that night when getting Ella ready for bed we realized that we were down to two sleepy bunnies. I put Ella off for a few days and told her it was probably at Garan's or in the laundry, but I was starting to worry. After calling every establishment we've visited over the last three weeks, we finally had to come to terms with the fact that we were down to three. We now have two well-loved bunnies and one pretty bunny on the shelf. She took it better than I did and after an exhaustive interweb search, we have come to the conclusion that we cannot acquire another one. That night when we tucked her in, she asked for the pretty bunny and we ...

Bunny’s Surprise
Remember in this post, I told you that Bunny and I were working on a little surprise for Ella? After finishing up most of my Christmas shopping I knew I wanted to get her one more gift, but I wasn't sure what. After seeing a post on Design Mom, I was reminded of Jennifer Maher's amazing artwork and decided to see if there was enough time left to have her paint a custom piece of our very best friend, Paint Bunny. This is one of the pictures I snapped and emailed to Jen the week of Thanksgiving. And this is what I received in the mail just two weeks later. Let me just tell you that I teared up a little when I unwrapped the package. I knew it would be beautiful, but I wasn't prepared for just how much like our sweet friend the painting would look. We ordered a 5x7 acrylic painting and ...

Does it get any better?
This is what I did last night: ate peanut butter fudge and perched behind my sewing machine. I made three cushions for my front porch and seven throw pillows! I also hung wreaths on the front porch and created a beautiful buffet display which I'll share later in the week (I'm hoping to post ALL of my holiday decorating pictures sometime soon). Below are the finished products from last nights hard work. Do you think I'm weird for sewing a slew of new pillows before a party? Oh and I have some good news - Daddy surprised us and came home today and Bunny has been found! I got an email from Susan who found bunny tucked in Haley's bedroom the morning after the Iron Bowl. I'm excited that we'll soon be reunited. And Kamin finally taught me how to turn my flash off, so you can see how ...
Missing
We are missing the bunny, not the child! We need to put out an APB on a small, brown bunny approximately 6 inches tall and quite shabby looking. Sad, but loved. Alas we have noticed two shabby bunnies (one and two) lying around the house and a quite pristine looking bunny (four) perched on a shelf. Where is bunny number three? If we ate turkey at your house or watched a ballgame at your house or visited your establishment in any other way over the last four days and you happen to notice a furry friend tucked in the cushions somewhere, could you please call? It is just as likely that Bunny #3 is in the pile of laundry in the living room floor, amidst un-played-with toys or underneath a seat in the family car. I'll let you know if she turns up. Until then, we'll be sharing bunnies around ...
Our friend Bunny
So many of you have asked in the comments about our sweet bunny -- what is her name, where did we get her, does Ella really carry her around all the time. I've been thinking for awhile now that I needed to share Bunny's story and post pictures of her in lots of funny places! Bunny was given to Ella by her Auntie K for her first Easter. It was a sweet, very inexpensive gift that we put in Ella's room, but she paid little attention to. Sometime in late May she played with it all day and ended up taking it to bed with her. Since she had been carrying it around for a few days, we let her carry it to church the following Sunday morning. She was 8 months old, so it was easy to tell when she liked or disliked something. When I opened her car door at church, the bunny fell into the road, into a ...
