milk made mama: April 2009
http://milkmademama.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2009. I am confident that one thing will soon become clear to all of you and so I'm just going to fess up right off the batt.Esme has four Godmothers! I've come clean I've said it.there were too many wonderful women in our lives to choose from. Not that they wouldn't be there anyway but we just wanted to make sure ;). Personally I also think it's hillarious that she also has 1 Godfather and when I think about him, in my head he is always The Godfather. Anyway, we went to Emily's beauti...

milk made mama: May 2010
http://milkmademama.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 16, 2010. Cowboy Boots and Abbreviations. Grandpa Ken sent Esme some new cowboy boots last week and they are definitely the most exciting thing since sliced bread! Had he was also sending a hat I would have made sure he knew she has been blessed with an Ashcroft head.so alas we will have to donate the hat to the dress up box at day care and the younger kids (or even the ones Esme's age with a normal sized head) can enjoy wearing the cute hat. That's the kitty mom.sometimes I call her kid".

milk made mama: October 2009
http://milkmademama.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 16, 2009. It's the little things! Esme went pee pee on her big girl potty. She told me before she went,. We walked to the potty,. She told me there was peepee in the potty,. We poured it out in the toilet,. She got to flush (one of her favorite things),. She got M and M's (another one of her favorite things),. I think we may be on our way! Posted by Jennye Ashcroft. Saturday, October 10, 2009. I started back to work full time about a month ago and boy has it been full time! Grandpa Ernie ...

milk made mama: sled dog puppies
http://milkmademama.blogspot.com/2010/05/sled-dog-puppies.html
Saturday, May 1, 2010. I know I still owe you all the swimming videos I promised.this moving thing was perhaps a bit more intense than i realize. I have to get all the electronics up and running. In the meantime, what could be better than a few puppy/baby pictures? I'm sneaking in one little hiking pic to let you know we are doing something up here. And now for the real fun. Don't worry, we didn't bring any home :). Posted by Jennye Ashcroft. May 1, 2010 at 9:30 PM. May 4, 2010 at 6:33 AM. Cowboy Boots a...

milk made mama: December 2009
http://milkmademama.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 26, 2009. Esme has been coming up with some amazing statements lately. I had to take a moment to share some of my favorites:. When I was little" she spent all day yesterday saying.when you were little what we kept asking stifling our giggles. When I was little I used to cuddle" she finally said. Last night as Andrew put pajamas on an exhausted Esme:. What the hell is going on here? You would say no Mama". While standing at the door with her dress up suitcase packed:. Grand Marais, MN.

milk made mama: June 2009
http://milkmademama.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Those of you who have to listen to me complain about the minutiae. Of my day to day life know that I have been dying for Esme to get beyond one syllable words and to start putting words together. I know I'm a demanding mother with high expectations.but she knows so many words and she repeats them over and over again all the time.why can't she just put two of them together already? And today (duh-duh-duh-duh, drum roll please) she did! Esme's first two letter phrase "My - Phone".

milk made mama: July 2009
http://milkmademama.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. A purse and a big ball of pot-pot. Here are a few more pictures from our time in Grand Marais.and a few more stories to accompany them. Esme and Dada strolling the metropolis of Grand Marais. We visited the family farm where Babka and Nana Coo get their milk and butter and things.here are the pigs. And here's Esme very sure she has no desire to touch the pigs. I guess so she said.it sure does look like pot-pot. And here in the distance you can see the big ball of pot-pot. Esme lo...

milk made mama: December 2010
http://milkmademama.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 8, 2010. Forever and a day. WellI know it's been forever since I've gotten my act together in the blogosphere.but here we are! This move has been a bit more.everything.than I imagined. A big adjustment to be apart as a family, and then back together again. A big adjustment to move so many times - have Esme move into her own bed and then into her own room for the very first time. A big adjustment to leave the city. And I promise I'll try to drop by more often! Breathless with excitemen...

milk made mama: The Princess Ball
http://milkmademama.blogspot.com/2011/03/princess-ball.html
Friday, March 4, 2011. I finally got the pictures downloaded from our trip to the princess ball. This was a fundraiser for childhood cancer that we attended. My mother-in-law's retreat center donated a mother daughter canoe trip as the grand prize so we got to be there to draw the winning name. Luckily there is no photographic evidence of my lack of shoes, I'm telling you wool socks are totally the next thing in princess wear. A sampling of what photos look like when Esme takes them:. This looked so fun!
