As the Shuttle Endeavor slowly made its way through our city streets this weekend, just miles away, we had some breaking news of our own. This boy is becoming downright determined to walk! Granted, it has to be on his terms when we practice. But when he wants to, he goes for it. He has horrible…
My husband made fun of me for owning galoshes. He thought it was especially funny that I have more than one pair. In a place that never rains. Well it rained. So IN YO FACE. Not that I actually went out in the rain. The most rain these boots have seen is in these pictures. But if…
After we returned home from San Francisco, it was time to get back to reality. And I’m never ready for that. But to get me through the adjustment, we had a few more fun things on the schedule. Tati Lara surprised Paul and I with DMB tickets for the Hollywood Bowl. She said “Happy Anniversary!”,…
Stevie has been up to some new things that we are pretty excited about. #1 – Walking. Not independently. He will take some big clumsy steps while we hold his arms. He has been using his walker daily – even if just for 5 minutes – to build those muscles and just get him on…
I know this is slight overkill, because it will warm up to nearly 80 degrees today. But the last couple days there has been the slightest hint that Autumn is in our midst. There was fog. There was crispness. There was a chill in the air. Sweaters and boots started chanting my name from the…
I just got home from a trip to Northern California and I haven’t blogged about this one yet! Plus we have another trip to San Fran in about 3 weeks. We’ll see how soon I get around to that one. Anyway, this is wrapping up the stay-cation I’ve been going on & on & on…
I love, love, love my LifeProof phone case. Besides being waterproof, I can take pictures in swimming pools, and it’s also safe from rain, snow, dirt. But most importantly, it’s shatterproof from 6 feet up. As someone who cracked their iPhone screen 2x’s in one month, this is kind of a big deal. I also…
The most comfortable pants in the world, because basically, they are pajamas. I was really hesitant about buying them because I didn’t really envision myself wearing silky pj’s out in public. But they have been one of my best $12 purchases! I have worn them to everything from bridal showers to premier parties. And I…
Our bathroom has been made over before. We’ve changed the floor tiles & the shower doors and Paul painted his little heart out on all the cabinets. That was… 4 years ago? I think. Pre-child. Since Stevie is the one who has reign over the guest bathroom now, I just wanted to update it again…
During our family reunion, we took a day away from the nice, cool beach to spend some time at fun, hot Disneyland. I loved going with more kids and more family than I usually go with. It is always a treat to spend time with everyone. But to spend time with them and take snapshots…
