The Green Wife

That was one fun Halloween!

Our Halloween was super fun!  Elliott and I wore our matching costumes around town to show our friends.  She didn’t really cooperate for pictures, but you get the idea! (for better shots of her, click here) Then we headed up to school for Alex’s class party!  He insisted that Elliott join him on the carpet.  In [...]

Mossy Missy

I got these ‘Mossy’ Babylegs with Alex in mind, thinking he could wear them for these odd fall days when sleeves are just way too hot by recess and PE time.  However, Elliott staked claim to them and, I must say, looks rather stylin’ in them. I may be a bit partial because of my obsession [...]

Tuesday pictures

Alex decided to use some of his Tooth Fairy money to buy himself a necklace.  He looked and looked and decided on this peace sign one: He looks so handsome and grown up!  He was a bit disappointed that the kids in his class said that, “Peace doesn’t matter.”  I was kind of at a loss [...]

Halloween is coming!

I finished making Elliott’s costume this morning, so we headed out to see some pumpkins and take pictures.  It was such a fun and easy costume to make:  I just put together an easy, no-sew tutu and embellished a hat she fell in love with at Dollar Tree.  Along with some fun tights and ribbon [...]

My little ballerina

Elliott has a new little ballerina outfit, courtesy of our wonderful neighbors.  She loves wearing the leotard, but she really really loves the shoes!  The night that they were brand new, I had tucked her into bed and was just sure she was asleep, when all of a sudden she appears in the doorway and [...]

The Tooth Fairy got creative last night!

It seems that in honor of the loss of Alex’s fourth tooth, the Tooth Fairy decided to forego the conventional bit of cash she normally leaves for him and surprise him with a toy! She left a Clone Trooper action figure from the new line of Star Wars Clone Wars toys. For those [...]

Today Elliott and I got a fun package in the mail….4 pair of Babylegs!!! I think they about the cutest things I can put on her and I’m so excited that the weather is getting cooler so she can wear them all the time! For those of you who know and love Babylegs, [...]

A surprise visitor

This afternoon I was standing in my kitchen talking to my mother on the phone, when I noticed a teeny bit of movement outside the window.  I took a closer look to discover this little guy paying me a visit. He was the smallest little squirrel I have ever seen and I got such a [...]

My amazing family

I’m not sure when it started, but I know I was pretty young. I became obsessed with cameras and it’s all I wanted for my birthday starting around….maybe age 7?? I would secretly hope as I opened birthday gifts each year that someone had read my mind and new that I longed for [...]

Goslings, Hyenas, and Coyotes…Oh my!

Some friends of my in-laws have been telling us about these geese and their eggs at their nearby pond. Well, these eggs hatched overnight, so we took the kids over to see the little goslings. It’s so impressive to me that those tiny little newborns were already following Mama and Papa Goose around, [...]
