I’m uploading pictures from tonight’s trick-or-treating extravaganza. Well, maybe not truly an extravaganza, but I think it felt that way for the kids! After a nice costumed romp in our major leaf piles, we traversed the neighborhood with Alivia, Rayna, Kathy, and Brett. After eight houses, both Andrew and Alivia were suggesting that we stop. [...]
Andrew has a grand Godzilla costume made with love by his granny. And Sylvia is a blue bunny (from the 1946 story, Bunny Blue). This is the same blue bunny costume that Bryan wore was when he was a babe. Here, for your Halloween enjoyment, are pictures of my kiddos in their Halloween duds. They’re [...]
Andrew doesn’t usually like to have his picture taken. Until, suddenly, he does. In the last week, there have been a remarkable number of times that he has requested that I take his picture. Especially when he’s snuggling with Sylvia. I’ve been happy to oblige, and here are some of the results. Be still my [...]
You may be tired of looking at pictures of my kids playing in the leaves, but I’m not! So here you go. Sylvia pushes Poodle around in the stroller. I cannot keep shoes on this girl! I am so glad that the weather warmed up. It is such a struggle to get her shoes on, [...]
I’m typing this up on Wednesday night at 10pm. Bryan is still at work at the office. He’s been working so very hard!! I just processed hundreds of pictures from Andrew’s preschool Halloween party. Those little kids in costumes are just the cutest. And it’s pretty clear that I’m going to need a new computer [...]
We’ve gotten to see quite a bit of Eli and Celia these past weeks. And it’s been lovely. They’re such wonderful kids, and I love to watch them all play together. For your viewing pleasure, here’s a few pictures of some kiddos enjoying the world and each other… And on another morning… Beware the jaguars!
Our beautiful maple tree in our front yard is at its peak of amazing yellow. I wish I could bottle the color of yellow as the sun shines through the many layers of yellow leaves. It’s just magic. I capture it in my mind and hold it close to help add brightness to some of [...]
For Andrew’s fourth birthday, Bryan’s mom made him a special box filled with great art supplies. It’s compact, but it contains about any fun art supply you can think of. And Andrew loves it because it’s special for him. Last week, I did a by-pass surgery on our ailing art supply drawer. We have a [...]
Michael and Lisa’s wedding weekend was great. It was a wonderful wedding…and oh how I love weddings. Family and friends gathered from near and far. I loved it. Thinking back, the part of the weekend that makes my heart feel the coziest (other than while I was sobbing at the wedding ceremony) was having me, [...]
I have more money-management posts coming soon…thoughts are swirling in my head and are about ready to be born…but in the meantime I wanted to share a couple items that I normally purchase that I’ve taken to making myself. It’s nothing big, and I’m not saving many dollars, but it feels satisfying to discover that [...]
