Hadley is now eight months and man she is on the go, go, go! She still can’t get the transmission into forward so it’s pretty comical to watch her back across the room while trying to reach a toy. Nursing has become a contortionist act, introducing lesser-known holds like “octopus” and “hang ten” instead of {…Continue Reading}
I’ve had an Android phone for about six months now and I really love it. When Instagram became available for Android, I hopped on the bandwagon! We brought home some more mangoes from Florida, so mango smoothies and popsicles have had a reocurrance in our house. Did you get to see the transit of Venus {…Continue Reading}
Arden’s first dance recital was last weekend. It was a half hour ballet and gymnastics class and they participate right along with all the other dancers in the annual recital. Arden’s class’ routine was to a song called “You Know What”. Here she is ready to go on stage for the first performance! We weren’t {…Continue Reading}
If you’ve noticed my posting lately has consisted mostly of Blog-A-Pal-Loosa giveways you might have guessed that we’ve been on vacation. This was our first trip as a family of four to visit my parents in Florida. I’m happy to say that Arden and Hadley are quite qualified to serve as Air Travel Embassadors as {…Continue Reading}
Remember the shoe rescue I performed on a pair of adorable ballet flats that wouldn’t stay on Arden’s feet?

I have more photos from Easter morning with baskets and another egg hunt {…Continue Reading}
This is Charlie. Actually, this is Tiny Charlie. We have Big Charlie, Little Charlie, and as previously introduced – Tiny Charlie. My nephew Nathan (or perhaps his parents?) had a thing for Charlie Bear when he was a baby and Arden has been gifted with Charlie and his friends over the years. They are all well-loved, {…Continue Reading}
I took the girls to our local garden’s Butterfly House this morning. Hadley started out with a little snooze in the car to build her energy for the big outing. These big butterflys were more than willing to perch on the visitors. Arden wanted nothing to do with it, but Hadley didn’t seem to mind. It {…Continue Reading}
Arden you are now self-proclaimed to be “the biggest girl ever seen!” at the ripe old age of three. You have the longest and thickest eyelashes I have ever witnessed. And when you flash those steely blue eyes at me, it makes my heart melt. Add to that a beautiful great big smile and the {…Continue Reading}
** If you pin any images from this post, please click back to the source so it links properly to the originator ** I’ve got a good chunk of the decorations either completed or purchased – you saw a glimpse of the “happy birthday” banner the other day: I finished that up later that day using {…Continue Reading}
