a quiet night at home

Ali and AJ had another play date tonight, and had a blast!! Here are pictures, as well as a few of Ali earlier in the day. . . Ali looking serious. She learned how to climb up and get down out of this chair all by herself today. . . So excited!! Ali found our […]

A few images from our week. . .

Since I haven’t had too many posts with pictures in the past week, I thought I would share a few. Here’s Ali sharing her most prized possession with Daddy. . . her glasses. Yes, she’s still obsessed with them. She would wear them all day AND night if I would let her. Eli comfy on […]

Blog stuff for all of my fellow blog geeks. . .

I’ve been working all day (in moments between Ali and Work and Chris) on picking out the prints and “papers” for my new blog design!! I’m so excited – it should be up by the end of next week. I have been wanting to do this for a while – it kills me to have […]

Why does it have to be OIL of Olay?!?!

I hate lotions. They are so oily and greasy and dirty feeling. I hate special cleansing soaps. They are way too time consuming. I hate pretty much anything that takes time or feels oily. I take off my makeup and clean my face all at once and without having to use any water every night […]

Running Away

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Chris!! I promised him that I would not do an ooey gooey post talking about how he is the best husband in the world (which is true of course), but would just save all of my ooey gooeyness for him in person. So, on to normal posting: Do you remember the first time […]

The Making of Art

So Ali and I decided that Daddy’s Birthday (tomorrow) was the perfect time to start off her art career. Ingredients: Old bedsheet, garbage bag, bug spray, four colors of finger paint, canvas, swim diaper (didn’t end up using – you’ll see why later), a FULL box of wipes (don’t leave with a half empty box […]
