March 10th was Avelyn’s last day, say it with me, LAST DAY of daycare. Yay! And also, yikes! bring on the caffeine! 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 [...]

Again, so much to say and not enough time to write it! Avelyn has been down for nearly an hour now so I’ll see what I can pound out. I can’t believe how much more I love this child everyday. I didn’t think it was possible and then, poof! She grows a little taller, pops [...]

My daughter is perfect. Just perfect. She is smart, kind, gentle, loving, boisterous and ohmygod she is insanely funny. How can a little person at just 16-almost-17 months of age be so freaking cool? I think the most amazing thing about this feeling is the notion that most parents feel the exact same way about [...]

My baby brother got married this weekend which I’m pretty sure means I am really old now. Avelyn was a drop dead gahw-geous flower girl in her little ruffled dress and tiny pearls. She had fun picking up the skirt ever so slightly and twirling herself. Sigh. Aren’t little girls just precious? Kevin flew to [...]

[Click play or here if the song doesn’t play. It will open in a new window.] We are having a great start of summer around here. Swimming, FIRST pigtails, learning the art of “sliding” at the park, learning to eat big people food like chicken, meat loaf, spinach, green beans, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, [...]
FIRST day on the putt putt course: sunny, fun, so freaking hot we quit on hole 11. Seeing Avelyn in her gold gladiator sandals having a blast outside: priceless.
I hope you’re all enjoying your day as much as we are. Avelyn had her FIRST day at the pool! PS – the wearing of sunglasses may be necessary while viewing this photo; don’t let the whiteness scare you away. Hey, at least you can’t see my legs.

It’s OVER! I am DONE with nursing school, DONE with working for free, DONE with living away from my family, DONE with living in apartments and with other people! DONE! DONE ! DONE! Where to begin? The past two weeks (Seriously? Two weeks? I can’t believe I’ve gone two weeks without blogging. It’s like I [...]

For the past several months Avelyn has suffered from recurring non-stop one freaking long double ear infection (AKA otitis media). Poor thing’s ear are always filled with fluid which has been causing pain and interfering with her ability to hear. Kevin and I decided to go ahead and get tubes to alleviate this problem and [...]

And I’m not just talking about the magnificent breezes blowing Avelyn’s hair all around her face that make her smile, sigh and giggle in the most beautiful way. We have been SO busy. Birthdays, school, work, moving… I can’t wait to be done with it all and living under one roof with just my husband [...]
