Baby Carter (2.5 weeeks old) wonders why I can't just hold him rather than taking his picture.

Todd thinks, "So many options . . . which one to choose?"

Finished! Color looks deeper in person.

Today I do nothing.

What you see is what I need - pajama pants, laptop, & the remote. Oh, and some water & Chex Mix!

Dinner + drinks + friends = good times!

Gorgeous Pippin rests on the couch. With her pillow.

She's our princess.

On days when the sun is visible, this is what greets me along my way to work.

It's actually a reflection of the rising sun on a glass building that I pass each morning and each evening. Although it is bright, I find beauty and inspiration in it which often helps me start my day.

It's blurry, but it's true. I pulled the baby from the King Cake my team had this week!


Honestly, I don't know exactly what it means. I was just happy to get a baby!

A historic day of amazingly significant proportions. I am thankful to be able to witness it in my lifetime.

The scrapbook retreat is over. The car is packed. I'm heading home.


I am SO.VERY.TIRED. Lots of creativity, friends, fun, snacks, wine and almost NO sleep, but it was all worth it. I can't wait for the next retreat!

I bring to you the ugliest scrapbook page in the WORLD!

The photo makes the page look better than it actually was. Don't worry, I ripped it out of my book and started over.

SCRAPBOOK RETREAT!!!



It might look like a mess, but it's MY mess! And look at the cool page I made of me with my Dad & StepDad when the doors to the sanctuary were opened, and we walked down that long aisle to Todd.

My Favorite Time of Day

The kids are gone . . .

Straightened my hair for today. Took a self portrait before picking up my class.

You probably can't see all the dark red I had added. I like it, though. Pretty wild & crazy for a simple blonde like myself.

Then I got bored.

Luckily nobody walked in my classroom to see me doing this. Not that I would've cared.

Finally acted my age. Well, at least I did for a second.

It'll be curly again tomorrow, and I'll still be trying to entertain myself.

My feet were cold as I was getting ready yesterday morning, so I grabbed whatever was near. Todd's big slippers make my feet look small!

Crummy photo taken with my camera phone.

BYOS Night

Build Your Own Salad . . . We don't like the same stuff on our salads, so I recently started BYOS. Todd came in the kitchen tonight and said, "I shall build my own salad," in his deep voice. :)


After we sat down to eat I thought "tomatoes!" Todd did say, "Yeah, I didn't want to say anything." Did he not want tomatoes? He got 'em.


We also had my famous chicken pot pie. Well, I'm famous for it in my family!!




From the pics on this Project 365 blog, you'd think I cook a lot. I DO NOT!

Welcome baby Carter! Our friends, Mike & Sonya welcomed Carter into their family this morning. Big sister Cori finally got to meet him this afternoon. Soon after, we followed. He's such a cute boy!

The new family:


Todd and Mike toasting shots of whiskey to celebrate Carter's arrival.

Todd took this photo of me (and all of my chins) getting a baby fix:
