I STILL have more to tell you about our trip to Atlanta, but for now, I bring you the play-by-play of an extraordinarily adventurous pursuit: a Photo Shoot of a 7 month old and a 2 year old. I bring you, Ali and Woods: Woods started out too interested for Ali’s taste:WAAY too interested:So of […]
In Striking Contrast to Last Weekend. . .
Last weekend we had our once-a-decade Winter Wonderland. So, true to form for Mister Alabama Winter, we had gorgeous, sunny, 70+ degrees weather this weekend. And, since I’ve been telling about our day-to-day lives less lately, I decided that it was time to do a “this-was-our-weekend-(and a little of the week)-in-pictures” post. I used to […]
Horsing Around for Toddlers!
5 Minutes for Mom is having another one of their amazing photo contests! The theme is “Horsing Around” – kids at play. My entry is one Ali soaking up (literally!) one of her most exciting activites:Other pictures that I am not entering but were hard to narrow out: The day that Ali and AJ nearly […]
Two Years Old and Enjoying Every Minute!
Don’t forget to enter January’s Reader Appreciation Giveaway!! It ends Monday, so time is almost up!! Go on over and simply comment on the post to enter. Good luck!! When I went to get Ali on her birthday morning, I was singing “Happy Birthday”. Excitedly and full of realization, she squealed, “IT’S MY BURFDAY!!!!” For […]
Two-Year-Old Portraits: Why does everything end up needing to be prefaced with "Adventures In"??
Today was the day to get Ali’s two year portraits. I was running early, luckily, because when I got in the car it was completely dead. Again. Now, if you remember the last time that my car battery died, my Mom came and saved the day with a nifty charger thingy that you just plug […]
Party ’til it’s 2009. . .
We had an absolutely AWESOME time with our Small Group on Wednesday night. We had them all over to our house for a casual New Year’s party. All of the couples came but one, which added up to 10 adults and 11 kids (it’s always great to be outnumbered). However, all of the kiddos were […]
Oh Readers, Where Art Thou? . . .And Christmas Meanderings.
I know that I am totally just typing into thin air here, because there are fewer people on the internet today than there were people checking stock market quotes with glee and happiness all year! But unlike all of the other bloggers out there who are taking “Christmas Breaks” or some other sort of nonsense, […]
And Christmas Kicks Off. . .
Chris’ Aunt and Uncle, Kitty and Leo, are staying with us this weekend so that we can “do Christmas” with them. Ali is in complete heaven. She’s been jumping around saying such things as “CITING!!” and “HAVING FUN!!” all day. Ali pulled Kitty into my office this morning to “play dough” with her. We made […]
Consider yourself carded.
To All Who are Concerned: Please do not be distraught over the lack of Christmas Card from our family. It is simply just one thing that I have yet to allow myself to take on the pressure of, and so I haven’t. I have, however, compiled all of the Christmas Label pictures into a collage, […]
Jingle Bell Rock
Despite everything else going on in our lives right now, we are working fervently to make the Christmas season magical and special for Ali. And so far, she absolutely adores it. So much so that were it not for her birthday two weeks after Christmas, I would worry that she would go into a Post […]
