91 degrees out

31. March 2008

I was in the backyard hanging out diapers on the clothesline and thought to myself, “Hey, I should water our grapevine!” So I finished the diapers, grabbed the hose and started watering the vine. Then I saw the irises needed a drink, so they got the hose. Just look how pretty! At least…I think that’s [...]

My Sunday and all it involves

First of all, I’ve spent a good chunk of the day playing with Photoshop and creating the invitations for Alex’s upcoming birthday party. I’m making a mental list of supplies and decorations and such….which I should probably turn into an actual hard-copy list as I am so terribly forgetful these days. I love [...]

When you love cloth diapers like I do, there’s not much that’s going to brighten your day like getting new diapers in the mail! It’s like Santa leaving gifts, really. It’s a treat! Today, our dear sweet mail carrier left a package full of fluff for me and Elliott. Specifically, our beloved Pampered [...]

A big ol’ dose of In the Motherhood. These girls have me laughing so hard with every new episode that I just almost wake up those kids I worked so hard to get to sleep. It feels so good to watch them and be able to know that life as a mom is [...]

Alex has never been a camera ham. He avoids pictures as much as possible…especially pics of just him. Sometimes it even brings him to tears if you try to take pics! Why? Who knows. It makes me sad, really because he makes beautiful pictures! Yesterday he agreed to 2 [...]

Who is this little girl and what did she do with my baby?

One day she’s all tiny and dependent….the next, she’s wearing these big girl dresses and running and climbing and playing outside! I feel a teensy bit of sadness, but mostly, I am just basking in it! Every day she’s one step closer to being the woman she will become and I feel so [...]

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend! Ours was…interesting. The kids had a great time hunting eggs. Alex had gotten slightly more aggressive over the past few years and actually got a good number of eggs this time around. Elliott went right too it like she’d been doing it for [...]

I hope everyone is getting ready for a wonderful Easter weekend! I know I’m looking forward to it. Alex loves Easter and we’re all looking forward to Elliott’s first opportunity to hunt eggs! Prepare yourself to be bombarded with egg hunt pictures in a few days. I’m sitting here nursing Elliott while she [...]

So because of yesterday’s amazing weather, we decided to sleep with the windows open and it felt fabulous all night! The fresh air was wonderful and we could hear the breeze and the buzz of the season’s first insects hard at work…it was so peaceful! However, a bit of a cool front blew [...]

Weather.com says it will be 84 this afternoon! The sun is shining, the birds are singing, squirrels are playing…it’s gorgeous! It’s spring! I just opened up all the windows and it’s so refreshing! We have a huge family of doves that live in our back yard and they are just chatting [...]
