Molars

Molars.

A love/hate relationship.

They are great when you really need to crunch something...

But oh, so aweful when you are dealing with them breaking through tender gums...

Poor baby hasn't slept good in days. (Niether has this mama)

Diaper Wipes, Part 2

Is there a Diaper Wipes Part 1?

Well, not exactly. But...

There was the hilarious episode of when Lily had a hay-day with the tissues.  And so when Hattie got her little fingers on the box of wipes, I knew what to expect.

Sort of.

So I walked away... (rookie mistake)



And when I returned, she had cleaned out the whole bucket...

She was none-too-pleased to see me...knowing that all good things were coming to an end.

My sweet nephew was born this summer and I had the absolute priviledge of photographing him.

I've been so excited for this little bundle for months...well, if truth be told, it's been years. Years in the making! I couldn't be more excited to have him here.

I can't wait to watch him grow up...

I can't wait to see what kind of a boy he will be...

I can't wait to watch my sister blossom as a mom...

I can't wait to hear about his first giggle...

I can't wait to hear him say "Auntie"...

I can't wait to see how God will use him...

Throwback Thursday

Ran across these the other day...






I forget how little she used to be...

Time goes too quickly!

Say It Ain't So!

I know that life gets busy...but it is crazy when I think to myself "I haven't blogged in awhile...I should really do that!" and I check HublerPlanet and realize that the last post was over 2 months ago!

Yikes!

Time to get back in the saddle again...

Time to slow down and get serious about this blog...

Time to sit down, enjoy the sunshine, and start typing...

Tuesday Tidbits

 

I'm completely missing being on vacation. It's back to the grindstone...back to normal life. We returned from vacation on Saturday and I was awoken at 3:45am Sunday morning by a feverish baby. We have spent the past 48 hours with a very owly Hattie. After two nights of incredibly restless sleep, I'm happy to report the fever seems to have broken.

 

 

If this blog post seems a bit "off"...chalk it up to sleep deprivation. This mama is tired.

 

 

I'm still working my way through vacation laundry. It's amazing how much needs to be washed when it's been accumulating for a week. I've only got 2 loads left to wash...but..*ahem*...about 5 to fold. Laundry has got to be my least favorite household chore.

 

 

Today's high is 67 degrees for July 1st. I am loving it! It has been hot and humid and this cooler weather is a wonderful break. Did I mention it's also supposed to be cloudy all day? My favorite weather is overcast and breezy. I don't worry about the kids (or me) getting sunburned, I don't get a headache from the sunshine, and the breeze feels like silk on your face. I may just spend most of my day outdoors. :)

 

 

We missed doggie obedience class last night because Jason missed the train. I'm feeling quite certain we are not going to graduate next week. Have I mentioned that dogs are a lot of work? Wish my parents would have told me that before I went out and got one of my own! Oh, wait...what's that you say? They did tell me? Over and over? What! Was I listening?!?

 

 

I made eggbake yesterday and saved half for today's breakfast and I made double lasagna casserole last night for supper...which means I don't have to cook a meal until supper tonight. Yipee! I love it when good plan comes together like that!

 

 

And the most noteworthy tidbit. And I'm gonna say this quiet so as not to jinx myself. I think the fleas are gone. We haven't had a bite in 2 weeks now. Keeping my fingers crossed those critters are gone.
