Well, hello November. Oh and yes, hello to you too 5:30am because of the time change. How long is that wake-up time going to be in effect? Halloween was good. Stevie still didn’t totally get it, but this year was a lot easier. Therefore making it more fun than years past. And he looked bloody cute, let’s not…
The most scared I’ve ever been on Halloween was about 10 minutes ago, when the house was really quiet and one of Stevie’s sound puzzles started going off for no reason. JEEZ!!! I’ve had maybe 3 good costumes in my entire life. I know. I sound am so boring. My husband hasn’t seen a scary movie since…
What an insane week it’s been. Insane in the best way possible, I mean. Last Sunday, Paul and I had a date night to see Elton John at the Staples Center. We were so far away, in the second to last row, we now know what he would look like from outer space. And I’ll tell you,…
DAD! DAD! DAD! Eat! Dad! Eat! EAT! EAT! Mom. Mom! MOM! EAT!!! That would be the sound of sweet Stevie first thing in the morning. Cue me, burying my head under as many pillows as I can find, trying to drown out the nagging. Paul and I roll over and give each other the look. We…
You know how life is really weird and all, right? Yeah. Ups and downs and all arounds. Being high, then being low, then getting stuck in the middle like a bad hair part. Sometimes you’re overwhelmed to the point of tears and sometimes you can’t think of a single thing to do that seems more important than…
Perhaps you’ve read about my friend Heather before. She is one tough cookie – battling brain cancer (+some) and raising awareness all over social media for rare diseases like hers: Cowden Syndrome and Lhermitte-duclos Disease. Here is her latest attempt to get the word out. Shirts purchased will also help her pay medical bills. Hi everyone!…
Ooooh, we had such a weekend planned! For Stevie, it meant a trip to San Diego with his Tati, a two-night stay at his Hokur Tina’s house, swimming, eating and a day at SeaWorld to top it all off. (Spare me the lectures on the Shamu stuff. I wouldn’t dare talk his aunts out of this…
Oh photo projects. I can’t. I gave up. Bored. Oh well. It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Taking Stock, so let’s do that! I originally found the list on the Meet Me at Mike’s blog. Thanks for checking in. Here’s some iPhone snaps from the week, because what’s a blog post without photos? // stevie painting…
If you grew up with a sister, I think you’ll agree. It’s pretty great. I’ve known this girl her entire life. There aren’t many people I can say that about. I remember really vaguely as a 5 year old, waking up one morning to be informed by Grandma that mom had gone to the hospital…
Sneaky, sneaky 4th of July. Where did you come from? I mean BAM! All of a sudden, am I right? When I woke up on Friday, the last thing I expected was for my husband to suggest we go somewhere. I obviously am not one to turn down that offer, so we hopped in the…
