*The irony being, of course, that I am totally out of practice writing here.  Also, I started this post one week ago and am just now finishing it. Typical of me at least. Halloweeeeeeeen!  My new favorite time of year since I started having kids!  (Segue: Is it possible any parent on the internet hasn’t [...]

I know it seems like all I do is post these “Embrace the camera” posts anymore but honestly, I don’t have ONE SINGLE HOUR in the whole day to get anything done for myself so blogging really falls by the wayside.  Add to that that when I do feel like writing something, it’s usually Thursday [...]

I turned thirty last Friday with very little fanfare. It was a total low key day spent just the four of us, and it was perfect. I’ve mentioned something about it here before and I’ll say it again, there is something magical about any birthday spent NOT having a cervical check. Just sayin’. But enough [...]

I may have posted some pictures when Avelyn first started dance class last fall. (Yep, here they are.)  We faithfully attended nearly every Saturday morning for months.  It was so fun watching her, albeit a little frustrating at times, as she had a hard time paying attention and staying with the group.  She was far [...]

Of utmost importance is always attending your last day of anything with sweet new kicks. Friday Friday morning we woke up, packed up and left San Antonio in the dust as we headed [...]

The day after Thanksgiving we drove to Austin and had lunch with a friend of mine I haven’t seen in 11 years, back from my days in the MN.  Here we are at my 17th birthday party she threw for me, sometime after midnight given the date on the photo.  The other photos from the party all [...]

(Started last Friday) OMG my beautiful, perfect, so-amazing-and-I-love-her-so-much child is driving me insane tonight.  IN-SANE. My patience runs dangerously thin when I’m tired and tonight, I am tired.  It’s been a long week.  Too much work.  To much extended family.  Not enough doing fun things I wanted to get done. One of those days where [...]

Before I bore you with words let’s jump right in with a “What a Difference a Year Makes” thing.  Can you believe that this little GIRL right here is this little BABY from last year?? NEITHER CAN I.  GAH! ●          ●          ●          ●          ●          ●          [...]
