I knew it would happen. I just didn’t think it would happen before he became a teenager. Asher officially wears a size 13 shoe. As big as his daddy wears. And Chris has some seriously big feet.

Life in a small town. A small horse-y town. I think we’d all be happy to stay here a while…

for mom

Nothing really post-worthy today, just a few tidbits to keep my mother happy. Seriously, she calls me when I update the blog to talk about what I posted – did y’all wonder too what that floor shot was on my last Snapshot post? “Oh that…” I told her, “it’s a worm hole!

I have many memories of being teased for my red tresses. And don’t think Audrey Hepburn red. Think more Carrot Top red. If… Read More

Vivi and Poppy

Alternately titled: I Will Be Getting Up in Less Than 10 Hours to Rouse My Kids for Their First Day of School. And yes, I am in denial. So what better to do with my time – on this last day before school – than take pictures of Poppy and Vivienne together. It has been on my to-do list, m’kay?… Read More
