I saw a photo similar to this on Pinterest (the link has since been broken – boo!) about six months ago. The moment I saw it I immediately started planning to have one taken of our family. I can not wait to have it printed on a giant canvas for our living room! I love… read more »
Last weekend was very possibly the best weekend of my entire year. My Dad and WSM (otherwise known as Papa and Nano) flew in for the long weekend, and my brother and his family drove down from Bellingham to celebrate Dad’s 60th birthday. Our house was ear splitting chaos for three days and it was… read more »
Zoë brought these assignments home from school yesterday. My heart melted when I read them. From the mouths of babes… I am so glad that Zoë convinced us that she should have a little sister. They love each other so much.
Outside my window: Overcast but thankfully, no rain. Of course, it is springtime Seattle so in 20 minutes we could have blue skies and sun or a downpour. Our daffodils are in bloom and surprisingly the primroses that Gardener Dave planted last year survived the winter and are looking lovely along the driveway. At least the… read more »
Zoë has the patience of a saint when it comes to her little sister. Eden is a sweet girl but she is a bit more, shall we say…dramatic, than her big sister, especially since she has reached the terrible two's. Zoë normally takes it all with a grain of salt, but last week she had… read more »
Kelly and I are celebrating our ninth "anniversary" today. We secretly eloped a year before our "wedding" in Hawaii (pretty sneaky, huh?) and we celebrate both of our anniversaries. The photo below was taken during our Hawaiian vacation last month when we renewed our wedding vows on our actual 10th wedding anniversary. I am working… read more »
One of my favorite things about our house is the design of the upstairs. When you walk up the stairs you see a huge open room, which happens to be our playroom. The girls can play upstairs happily without direct supervision, which makes it much easier for me to get ready in the morning. I… read more »
St. Patrick's Day is always very exciting at our house. In fact, now that we have children, most holidays are. The girls' happiness and enthusiasm rubs off on everyone in the room. For the past few years the leprechauns have paid us a visit and caused mischief or played fun little pranks. This year they… read more »
Kelly and I have owned a TIVO ever since they first came on the market, since before everyone and their mother (even my mother) owned a DVR. I didn't think they could do anything to make me love my TIVO any more, but they did. Enter, TIVO Premiere. TIVO Premiere turns the TIVO into much… read more »
There is one problem with having a husband who is constantly out of town on business trips: The last thing he wants to do during his down time is travel. Why is this a problem? I do! Don't get me wrong, I like hanging out at home with the family, but once in a while… read more »
