It’s the first day of Christmas holidays, and I couldn’t be happier. I probably slept in till at least 7:15. We’re going to spend the day in our pajamas, eat munchies for dinner, open stockings, and generally having a grand, schedule-less time. Although, I took this picture of a pyjama picnic about a week ago, […]

Exciting news in these parts – aside from the slightly distressing fact that my little girl is no longer quite so little, she is starting to discover the joy of reading. She’s always been a good reader, but a reader who only read when required to, and only to an audience. Suddenly something has happened, […]

Am I the only person who considers the sound of rifling through Lego a complete assault on the senses? It is all I can do not to curl into an over-stimulated ball as the rest of the family searches, with what appears to be deaf enthusiasm, for every.single.small.piece. Gavster, I won’t be upset if you eat more than your […]

So this happened last week. Gemma was home sick from school, so what better time to pull out the tree? Don’t let the tank top and shorts fool you, it is very much turning into winter. The kids are so into it, and Theo especially didn’t remember much from last year, so every new item he […]

This little stinker is trying to set a family record for slowest to walk. At 14 1/2 months, he is thrilled at all the hullabaloo that results from a simple solitary stand, but he doesn’t show the least bit of interest in walking alone. Granted, he has almost a month before he beats his big […]

It’s my birthday, and I feel confident that with the right sunglasses… and my cheeks sucked in just so… I don’t look a day over 30. Seriously though, I love birthdays. I love the idea of getting older and (hopefully) wiser. With age comes a recognition of what really matters, who really matters, and how […]

Tis the season for apple orchards and pumpkin patches or, in our case, both at the same time. Our weather has been gorrrgeous, cool, crisp, sunny, downright warm by the afternoon. We took advantage of it with a visit to the pumpkin patch with friends, in what we’ve now declared, after two years, an annual […]

Well, we got a new little addition over here. I don’t know why this seemed like a good idea, or how I forgot about clawed furniture, litter boxes, and late night foot-and-face tackles, or that I developed a lousy allergy to our last cat prior to his death by a motor vehicular accident. I’ve been sneezing […]

My generous and talented sister (Unexpected Moments Photography, I cannot recommend her highly enough) has once again rocked my socks by taking pictures to commemorate the passing years and perfectly capturing the little people I love so very much. She also caters to my latest decorating whims (I’m into navy right now) to ensure my […]
