More Birthday pics below!
The day after Diedre's birthday, my harddrive was wiped clean and i lost all my pictures. my brother did some great work and managed to retrieve most of them. there are still many missing/gone of her opening presents and of the guests at the party :( but i have posted a few extra pictures below.
i am very thankful that i was able to post some on the blog right away, because those ones were not recovered by my brother.
Heather & Danielle (and anyone else who may have taken pictures there), can you please email me what you have so i can possibly fill in the blanks?
thank you!

hard at work
grampa & derek hard at work in the suite. they got so much done while they were together. fixing a closet door, ventilating the furnace room, painting, drywalling a patch by the electrical panel, general maintenance and we all pitched in with cleaning. grammy was in there doing the final scrub job on the oven too!
the suite looks much better and we got tenants for march 1st!
diedre didn't help, but she sure looked cute!
she really likes this My Little Pony bag

Mother Goose
opening her gift from Grandpoppa & Grandma Mellenger. they left it here with us over Christmas just in case they were not able to make it out.
isn't she sweet in her sunday morning outfit? grammy salmon really wanted to try putting her hair up and i was game. i have never really experimented with her hairstyles since it is too short for two piggies, but i think she looks so sweet :)
Peanut Butter
derek said it was time for her to try peanut butter. he spread some on a Baby Mum Mum. she really liked it.

we're not sure how this happened, she must have laughed her sleeper off...
that didn't take long at all! she warmed up quickly to her grandparents (she hasn't seen them since she was 5.5 months old).
Here are two really cute videos of diedre enjoying some family time:

everything i learned about orchids, i learned from Adaptation
derek bought me a beautiful orchid a few months ago. i let it die. i was so sad about it. its my favorite kind of flower (ever since watching Adaptation) and i had really really wanted one for a long time. so i found one at Superstore, it had two stems with many unopened buds. i tried and tried to nurture it, and so far it has survived. its been a month or so, i have waited patiently as several buds have bloomed. its so gorgeous, i had to share my victory :)
beautiful orchid
so many blossoms

Fun Times With Her Ride-On Car

up and at 'em
We had a fun Valentine's Day. It was very cold out but we went to the park anyway. Diedre is really enjoying crawling around the children's play area and going down the slide.
We all went out for Japanese dinner and then home for a quiet evening in. We are looking forward to when Grammy and Grampa Salmon arrive next week so Derek and I can go on a date!
