*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 [...]

Embrace the camera: April 28
Posted in Big days, Embrace the camera, HoboBaby, Holidaze, My Little Lady on Apr 28th, 2011
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 [...]
Embrace the camera: November 11
Posted in Embrace the camera, Holidaze, Uncategorized, Videos on Nov 11th, 2010
Last weekend I finally convinced Kevin to go to the corn maize in Hondo. Even he admitted it was pretty fun, and we had a great time as a family. Especially a little lady who made sure she was the leader. I had trouble uploading the photos I wanted to share in this post, so [...]
Halloween haze: epilogue
Posted in Holidaze on Nov 4th, 2010
I think Halloween this year may have been the best day of Avelyn’s life. Really. You should have heard that adorable little voice call out as she walked away from each and every door, “Momma! I got candy!” And each time I would shout back, “You did! Wow!” and she would reply, “Yes! Let’s go [...]

Is anyone else as excited for Halloween as Avelyn and I? HER CUTENESS IS GOING TO ROCK THE WORLD… I hope.

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 [...]
Thanksgiving. It’s over. NOW CHRISTMAS!
Posted in Big days, Holidaze, Kith and kin on Dec 1st, 2009
(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 [...]
The obligatory “HAPPY HALLOWEEN!” post (on time!)
Posted in Arts and crap, Big days, Holidaze, My Little Lady, Out and about on Nov 1st, 2009
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! ● ● ● ● ● ● [...]

The holidays are over, praise God. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Christmas. It is my favorite time of year. Lights sparkle all over town, shopping malls and traffic lights are adorned with festive wreaths and ribbons and the anticipation of Christmas morning looms in my mind. It also brings family which in itself [...]
