We got some new hats in the mail the other day. It was reason enough to take everyone outside and try ’em out. Camera in hand, of course. Clearly, the kiddos were pretty darn excited. Other than birthdays and Christmas, there aren’t a whole lot of occasions that they get new stuff in the mail. I let them each pick… Read More
girls’ night in
I was supposed to be at a football game. Not sure if it’s my fault or my husband’s fault, but I got the time mixed up and ended up being impossibly late. So, we tried to make the best of the fact that me and my unshowered self would be staying in. The boys wanted to go to the football… Read More
picture day
School pictures are today. And as usual, I’m not terribly hopeful that, in one shot, the (heretofore unknown to my children) photographer is going to be able to capture my kiddos in a way that I want framed in an 8 x 10 lining our living room bookshelves. But year after year, I fork up the dinero and take my… Read More
Isabelle – first day of grade K
Ahhh, Isabelle. Off she went yesterday, with nary a hesitation. Even rode the bus to school solo, since Sophie goes all day this year. But on Thursday, she won’t be alone any more. Dreaded Thursday. When Jude will venture out, for the first time, from under my wing. And step foot onto a big yellow school bus for the first… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {my girls}
The girls and I spent the afternoon in Boston. Actually, the entire clan drove to Boston. We ate lunch together and then the boys (plus Vivienne) went to Gillette Stadium to watch the Patriots practice. And then just us girls went to do one of the things that we do best. Shop. Tori, in trying to sleuth out some fun… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {remembering}
The girls and I spent some time today going through their “China things”. We had to be sure to keep little hands out, so we snuck went up to their room and closed the door behind us. Then we pulled out all their keepsakes and special things from China. Sophie and Isabelle were all smiles. They love afternoons like this…. Read More
yes she did
She did get the bike of her dreams. Maybe not ex-actly what she had originally envisioned. Since there isn’t a manufacturer around that actually makes the bike she had envisioned. But once online, she was able to choose the exact bike she wanted. And from there she fell head over heels in love with this powder blue retro mini-cruiser. Thankfully,… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {Isabelle turns 6}
The day finally arrived. I wasn’t sure who was going to be more thrilled that today was finally here. Isabelle, because she’d been talking about her special day, nightly, for six long months. Or me, because she’d been talking about her special day, nightly, for six long months. But I couldn’t hold a candle to this girl today. She was… Read More
all this growing up is getting to me.
Here they are. My girls on their last day of school. Sophie completing her kindergarten year. And Isabelle finishing up in pre-K. Both of ’em looking cute, too. But when I look back on pictures from the first day of this school year… Ummmm… what?! Here is my Sophie Lu on her last day of school… and her first day of… Read More
happy
No. It’s still not her birthday. And yes, this is one of the outfits from Tea. Purchased for her birthday. Which is still 2 1/2 weeks away. But it wasn’t without good reason that I went ahead and busted this birthday gift out of it’s tissue paper… pre-birthday. In fact, it was for a very special occasion. She was celebrating… Read More
