Do you see anything wrong with this picture?

No?  Look lower.

Dun. Dun. Dun.

Today Elizabeth and I took Molly for a walk.  I really wish I were better about walking my dog everyday, but Elizabeth hates to ride in a stroller and always refuses to take Molly for a walk.  I made sure we got out today [...]

Cheese!!

Thankfully Saturday the weather cooperated.  We went downtown so I could take Elizabeth’s pictures for our Christmas cards.  I know, it is crazy to think of that already, but I had to do it now while we could still get outside. Plus, it will probably take me until Christmas to get them ready.  I can’t disclose [...]

Halloween Party bust.

Last night when we were putting on Elizabeth’s pajamas we noticed that she had bumps all over her chest and back. Our immediate thought, chicken pox.  Of course, we are supposed to leave next week for Disney.  I thought for sure that she had chickenpox.  She had a fever slightly on Tuesday and then broke [...]

Pajama Day.

Today Elizabeth and I stayed in our pajamas all day long, we didn’t even leave the house… once.  I love it!  I think we were both feeling like we had a slight making of a cold and a little under the weather, so we just hung tight. Sometimes pajamas and snuggling all day are the [...]

Orchard number two.

Out takes of trying to get six toddlers to sit for a picture.

On Saturday we had a group get together with five other adopted Vietnamese children.  I have been trying to pull together a group of us from the area for a while and we were finally able to pull it off.  I know there [...]

Orchard orphanage.

It was so funny because both yesterday and today we knew that we were going to be going to the orchard this afternoon, but every time both Erik and I would mean to say ‘orchard’ we would say ‘orphanage’.  We did it countless times and I even had a hard time typing the right word [...]

Hiking and friends.

Yesterday Elizabeth and I went to the wildflower gardens for a ‘hike’ through the flowers.  Well, this time of year the only flowers left really are the grasses, but with the sun shining and the trees turning it was still very tranquil and beautiful.  I am trying to find more active things for Elizabeth to [...]

You are my sunshine.

Does this girl know how to pose for pictures or what?  As you can see, the sun was bright and shining today.  It took most of the day for it to dry up all the rain we have gotten.
Today was Elizabeth’s first day of school where mommy ‘left for a meeting’ and she was on [...]

GOOD-morning.

Proof that this little girl actually woke up this morning happy.  It happens once in a blue moon.  No ‘Elizabeth monster’ this dreary morning.

Once again, it was cloudy and rainy today.  I am so bummed because I have actually gotten a chance to figure some things out on my camera but have no sunshine to [...]

Rain, rain, go away.

This is what happens on your third rainy day in a row and you are on your third round of Elmo… it gets a little boring.
It was once again gloomy today.  At least the rain held off.  However, low clouds make it completely unmotivating to want to do anything.  Ugh.  Please go away rain.  I [...]
