All 4 one and one 4 all


I've been itch'n for a post to present itself that this photo would fit with. It will go down as probably the best picture ever taken of me. Anyone who can make it look like I do have eyebrows, but not a a double chin is a miracle worker in my book.

Tonight was girls night in. Brian and Sam went to the library and then out for pizza while Julia and I played in our PJ's, read stories, had tickle fights, ate dinner on the kitchen floor, splashed in the tub (well, she did), played with my old FisherPrice toys, and repeated children's rhymes (Criss Cross Applesauce, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Pat-a-cake...) over and over again.
I loved having the opportunity to give my daughter my undivided attention. Sam loved having Daddy all to himself, but for the record, he said he missed me when I kissed him goodnight. :)
The timing of this couldn't have been better. Without school to keep structure to our weeks and provide a specific time where the kids get mom entirely to themselves, we've been floundering. I encourage you to read what JMom wrote in her 2008 progress report (Jan 2nd). She hit the nail on the head as she often does. All day today everyone had smiles as big as Julia and I do in this picture. (Or at least the kids did until they crashed at 6:45 after a full day of activity - 3 hours at the children's museum and then 3 hours of one-on-one time.)

  1. It was so fun to be able to see you today at the Museum!! I'm so glad we overlapped the way we did. Oh, and, yes, Jennifer did a great job photographing you and Julia! Honestly, you guys looks SO SO SPECTACULAR! (That was the first I'd ever heard about your not-looking-like-you-have-eyebrows concern. I must say I'd never noticed you looking like you don't have them. Of course, I didn't see a double chin on you today, either, so I think you're imagining things.)

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me!  Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d
