Saturdays at our house used to be lazy days. A day for hanging out. A day for putting our feet up and watching the clouds go by. Or watching clouds go by on TV. We were easy like that. But those days are looong gone. Our Saturdays now, or at least a few hours of each Saturday, are devoted to… Read More
picture day. again.
Yesterday was school picture day for the kids. Again. Anyone else remember having your picture taken multiple times in one school year? Not me. I remember one official day, where everyone wore their very best duds. And the picture people handed out combs to everyone in line. I remember really needing one. Truthfully, other than the confusion it brings when… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {togetherness}
I tried. That’s about all I can say. Six weeks home with Vivi and this is my first attempt to get a picture of all the kiddos. Well, not all the kiddos. All them, minus the two oldest. The weather is outrageously beautiful. 60 and sunny. No excuse not to get outside and give it our best effort. But the… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {Velvet}
When we got home from church and realized the cable and phone lines were back up, the first question I asked my husband was who should be the subject of this week’s Sunday Snapshot. He retorted, “You!” After I threw up in my mouth a little bit, I asked him who else he thought should be the focus of this… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {matters of the heart}
Adding Vivienne to our family has been easy. Relatively easy. I mean, adopting a toddler is way different from the way a newborn enters a family… all wrinkled and clueless and malleable. At two years old, Vivi might still be tiny, but she is most definitely not clueless. She’s experienced a lot in her two years. Too much. At four… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {Love}
I found and fell in love with these dolls months ago. And it didn’t take me long to find a holiday to justify buying one for each of my girls. I just didn’t know which holiday that would be. Turns out they arrived just in time for Valentine’s Day. Which is actually perfect, for several reasons. First of all, these… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {Valentines}
This afternoon, the girls and I prepped for the big day. For the Super Bowl, you say? Nah. For Valentine’s Day, baby. Any girl worth her estrogen is going to choose a day filled with candy and declarations of love over football. A.N.Y.D.A.Y. To bestow upon their classmates, Isabelle chose the Princess cards and Sophie chose the Tinkerbell cards. With… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: Vivienne
Ahhh, Vivienne. It wasn’t long ago I had some very real worries about this little one joining our family. And when I said I was scared, I really meant it. But now, well… just look at her. Scared? Me? Of her? Obviously, I had too much time on my hands. Vivienne is truly delightful. And I have fallen for her… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: coming home
We left Guangzhou with a patch behind Asher’s ear. And phenergan in my backpack. And high hopes for a vomit-free travel day. We arrived in Shanghai with no problems. Asher felt great. I felt great. And even after a 4+ hour wait for our next flight, Vivi was doing great. No shoes had been kicked off in frustration, Or hair… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: Zach
Zach. My oldest son. I still remember the joy of holding him in my arms for the first time. He was (and is) so darn adorable. Even the labor nurses exclaimed how incredibly cute he was with his little shock of cotton-white hair and piercing grey-blue eyes. He turned 15 this week. So, technically, he’s not my baby anymore. But… Read More
