Pajamas. Or, in our house, jammies. And we all love ’em. I have a thing for buying my kids jammies – too many of them. In fact, Chris has had to tell me to stop buying jammies for the boys once they reach about five since he doesn’t think boys that age should be indulging in jammies. Needless to say,… Read More
The most beautiful necklace
Belle decided that today was the day she wanted to learn to string beads. And so she did. Being Isabelle’s mom is like being on a constant roller coaster. The girl has no “medium” setting. Either she’s ignoring things I try to get her to do, or she’s insistent that I show her how to do it now. This newfound… Read More
It’s baaaaccckkk!!!
Yes. It arrived today via the very nice FedEx guy. It was still cold when I pulled it from the packaging and started to take some long awaited pics of the girls. I think I appreciate this camera even more now 🙂
A visit to the beauty shop
I took the girls to get haircuts today at Sweet and Sassy, a local salon ‘just for kids’. I was a bit worried about how Isabelle would act, she hasn’t been on her very best behavior the last few weeks 😉 I needn’t have worried, the girl loved getting a beauty treatment. Isabelle got about 1″ cut off since her… Read More

Busted
The girls were quiet. Too quiet. When I came around the corner and saw what they were doing, I had to duck into the other room to laugh. Isabelle was sitting on the floor surrounded in candy wrappers, a tootsie pop in each hand. Sophie was standing over her with a tootsie pop in her hand and some plastic beads… Read More
The Zoo!
November is National Adoption Month. In honor of this, the Atlanta Zoo was open last Saturday to any and all adoptive families, free of charge, as long as you had a printed invitation from your agency. Needless to say, with a family this size, we jumped on that offer like a dog on a t-bone. It was a chilly day… Read More
Sisters in a basket
The other day the girls and I were playing. Isabelle got a tiny boo boo and I was gushing over it and kissing it. Sophie decided to do the same thing and starting stroking Belle’s hair and talking sweetly to her. I asked her if she wanted Mei Mei to be the baby and she could be the mommy. She… Read More
Halloween
Halloween was so much fun! To be honest, I love the preparations for Halloween, buying candy, deciding what the kids are going to wear, the fact that Halloween sort of heralds in the holiday season. But I am not crazy about Halloween itself. It hasn’t helped that the last 2 years Chris has been gone. And it has rained. And… Read More
Pumpkin Patch
Well, it wasn’t so much a Pumpkin Patch as it was a bunch of pumpkins on pallets. Literally. Quite a far cry from the beloved Eckert’s Farm we visited every fall during our time in Illinois. Thankfully, neither of the girls were disappointed, especially since I’d been talking up our visit to the pumpkin patch for days. Sophie has been… Read More
