I was out on the screened-in porch earlier tonight with the kids enjoying the lovely weather we are having lately and letting the kids play a bit before bedtime. Tim was laid up today with some sort of stomach thing all day and barely made it out of our bedroom. So, outside time was GOOD….
From Smocking to Swarovski
I try to take my parenting one day at a time. I try not to think about the future too much. Obviously there are things to prepare and be ready for (birthday parties, school starting, etc.) but since having a daughter I have thought about what it would be like to help plan and witness…
I leave you with this…
I know. I kinda keeled over from the cute too. Seriously. I put the bands in her hair and the boys saw her with her “pig tails” and I ran to get the camera before she had a chance to pull them out, and me and the boys were all, “OMG, she’s SO cute with…
Girl Time (with a video!)
We spend time playing in K’s room many mornings. It’s just so bright and cheery in there and well, I admit, I kinda like the girlie-ness of it all. Sometimes I walk into her closet just to take in all the pink and flowers and polka dots. What? Don’t judge. You’d do the same after…
“Dank Oooh!”
That’s K’s way of saying “Thank You”. It’s the cutest thing on the planet. She’ll say it after I give her something. And then sometimes I say “kiss” and she pursers her lips and I lay one on her and then she smiles and says, “Dank Oooh!” Okay, maybe THAT’S the cutest thing on the…
Ahh, to be young again… WW & You Capture
The beauty of youth is all around me. Every day, in my children. I just hope and pray they keep me young. There’s a saying… something about how youth is wasted on the young. I don’t think it’s a waste at all… Can you tell my camera is working again? 😉 These were all…
Park Date
“Baby” K (that name isn’t going to work much longer, is it?) turned 17 months old yesterday. We “celebrated” with a little trip to the park with our friends. And snacks. And well, you know, Mardi Gras beads had to come along too… K has definitely entered the “language explosion” phase and pretty much every…
Banged Up – WW
Baby K does have a small bruise to the right of her chin where she took a little tumble over the weekend… However, what I’m really referring to is her hair…. notice anything different? Yeah, Tim and I decided on Sunday night to trim her bangs so that hair would no longer be in her…
Steppin’ Out Saturday and NSV!
I’m joining in on Steppin’ Out Saturday (even though I’m posting on Sunday!) over at Harper’s Happenings this weekend. The whole family headed out to the mall on Saturday afternoon (AFTER I ran a 5K – in 29:55!!! and took the boys to B’s soccer game!) and then to an early dinner. It was especially…
I didn’t want to do it…
I cried. I bit my nails until I could feel the throbbing in each and every finger. I thought of how my son wouldn’t go to the school that I couldn’t wait to walk with him to. I thought of how I’d miss the quick drive to our church and all the wonderful people there….
