We had a little celebration the other night. Someone very special was turning three. And she requested everything in pink. Except the cake. That she wanted in yellow and white. And pink. Thankfully the local bakery had one all made up – white with pink and yellow flowers. Because mama can’t do that. As her first birthday home with us… Read More
a grown up
Yes, I am still sad. But not sad enough to disappear for an entire week. Yikes, I haven’t gone that long in posting since I-don’t-know-when. My absence is due to an unanticipated vacation from my internet and phone service – thanks to a broken cable outside. Finally, finally, the cable guy came and repaired it last night. And I am… Read More
Happy New Year
I posted this last night on Facebook. But I decided to share it here, too. Because, honestly, what better way to start the New Year than your oldest feeding your youngest Reddi-Whip straight from the can? It can only go up from here.
Sunday Snapshot: {her first Christmas}
It was. Tallula’s first Christmas. And she loved everything about the entire season. Except the fact that she couldn’t touch the Christmas tree. Which sort of drove her crazy – daily – for the 4 weeks the tree was up before Christmas. But the presents on Christmas day more than made up for any hard feelings she might have had…. Read More
our Christmas
Ohmigoodness. It truly was a wonderful Christmas. The kids were so, so excited…. the countdown to Jesus’ birthday had begun at least 10 days before. As is our tradition, we took turns opening gifts, one at a time, youngest to oldest. And I thought I’d share a few pictures, as well as the favorites (and a few failures) of Christmas… Read More
a child is born
wishing y’all…
a very Merry Christmas. What a year it’s been. Up. Down. Everything in between. I’m grateful for every bit of it. And I’m grateful for each one of you crazies who comes to visit, support and love on us here. Can not wait to see what 2013 brings for all of us. P.S. Yes. The horse made it onto our… Read More
the pile that awaits
No. I have not wrapped one single thing yet. But I’m ready to get started. I’ve got 8 rolls of Christmas paper and 2 rolls of scotch tape. And I’m well-caffeinated. Growing up, my dad always knocked on my bedroom door on Christmas Eve – shopping bags in hand – and asked me to wrap my mom’s presents. Not sure… Read More
oh christmas tree
This year we decided to venture beyond our local Christmas tree lot. And we found a small tree farm just outside of town. I’m not sure if the kids had more fun picking a tree, or playing among them. Eventually we found it. Our tree. And we brought it home. I have a feeling it’s going to be a wonderful… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {the evidence}
Other than these two pictures – and the little “thankful” tree we made – there is no evidence that we even celebrated Thanksgiving. I guess I took my decision to be in the moment seriously. So seriously, in fact, that I only got my camera out twice. And each time I only took a handful of pictures. I think these… Read More
