Oh hi, cutest girl in the world! Seriously, my face often hurts from smiling too big cause she just does the CUTEST THINGS! Obviously she makes you work for her smiles but those little suckers never disappoint. Greg said this has been his favorite stage yet so here we go – 10 months! Umm I suppose I should mention those pearly whites finally made their grand debut. Two on the top, two on the bottom. Bam. […]
IT’S RAINING!!!!! AND THERE HAPPENS TO BE CHRISTMAS MUSIC ON AT THE SAME TIME!!! Let’s just call it a Christmas miracle because how these two occurrences happened to happen at the same time, is beyond me :):) I was really hoping to keep up this blog and document all the funny things that happen throughout the day, and the house progress etc but I have come to find, life works more along the lines of: she’s asleep! QUICK!!! […]
Need I explain? By now I feel like you should just know these are the things we do. Because we are weird. And apparently slightly creepy… But anyways, pictures from the weekend… because it feels rare to actually get out of our house these days…. and my girl went to a pumpkin patch…. and her momma took WAYYYY too many pictures. ^^This is why Grammy is the favorite. She does the sock shake with no shame […]
I wish I had something wise to say in these late years of my life, but alas, I’ve got nothin. But I do know my family spoils me rotten and I am the luckiest lady in the world. My sweet crippled sister surprised me early Wednesday morning with a homemade breakfast delivered via hopping foot and basket. I can’t. even. She’s the best. Did you know, as long as I’ve been alive, it has never […]
This feels like a big deal. Is it a big deal? My baby girl is nine months old tomorrow! She’s basically like a little person! …that has opinions and screams and throws tantrums! (she obviously got that from her father… everyone knows I’ve never spoken above a whisper…) She’s a master of fighting sleep and if you dare to pick her up, she has no intention of EVER being put down. This is my nine […]
I miss writing, I really do. It’s such a nice little outlet for me to remember the happies of life and prematurely laugh at the stupid things that continue to happen despite my best efforts to be classy and graceful at all times. HA. Anyways, the strangest thing keeps happening… every time I go to write something, the only title that comes to mind is “I HATE PAINTING” with the following content: I HATE IT I HATE […]
Hi, remember us? I’ve been majorly failing at keeping track of our going ons… in my mind I’ve been painting, painting, and painting some more but my phone suggests otherwise… obviously there was that one time where Abbie was a baseball rockstar and stormed the field (pictured above)… there was a dreamy breakfast date with my husband that I’m still in a hubby haze over… there were lots of meltdowns and giggles and hand holding […]
Sooooo that wasn’t a weekend project like I thought it would be. Things sure do go slower with a baby… but it’s done! (sorta) And she has a room!! It didn’t turn out anything like what I was thinking – everything that could go wrong, did go wrong – but after many deep breaths and overwhelming prayers for patience, I think it turned out cute and best of all, she lights up in there and gets all giddy and […]
We made it! Let’s just break this month up into the two parts it really was. First we have a new baby – one I’ve never met before. She doesn’t have the capacity in her sad, tormented life to muster up a smile or any sort of resemblance of a giggle for the endless amounts of entertainment her mother provides her with, in the form of extreme facial distortion, dangerously good dancing skills, or the ongoing […]
So this month we moved (!!!)… and Abbie decided to kick into high gear teething aka what boxes? just hold me foreverandeverandever amen. Hence why I haven’t had any available hands to tell you how incredibly patriotic she was on her first Fourth of July! Or how you set her here and she ends up over there! Or how that dog has looked like this ever since we’ve come here because he misses Ruari so! He’s also […]
