Also… am excited about Crystal’s 30 Day Gratitude Challenge starting on November 1st. I so want to participate. Isn’t this a fabulous reminder: photos by ilovelotsofpizza gratitude […]
Feeling a bit more positive today. Jimmy’s home. It’s Friday. I’m getting my hair cut. Yay! The sun is shining. The older tots are imagining outside. Max is eating corn chex. His favorite. Tru gave me kisses. The kids are wearing NYC shirts. Jimmy also gave them pop rocks. Pretty much an awesome breakfast. Don’t […]

2 months Length: 22.5 in (52%) Weight: 11 lbs (52%) Head Circ: 38cm (27%) I love little fingers and toes. Aren’t her leggings cute?

Abe had his first tooth extracted yesterday at the dentist. Actually it is 2 teeth that were fused together. He […]
I just discovered this cute lds gal, Lindsey Stirling, through a friend. Don’t you think she finds delight in her violin talent? She’s bouncy, smiley, and bright. Though her style is so different from mine (really – can you imagine me being able to dance around like that? the thought makes me laugh.), I love […]
Truman turned 2 on Wednesday. He is still too young to look forward to and understand such a celebration, but once the party started, he enjoyed himself. We had a pretty mellow day, but the weather was nice so we got to play outside. For dinner we had Fried Rice which Truman really enjoyed. Then […]
