our insane month

Here are all the great (and some not so great) things we did in July: Swimming lessons for Miles, four times a week, across town, for two weeks. I went back to work. (Yay!) Jocelyn waves happily as I go. She doesnโ€™t even cry. We had three living spaces painted. Realized that Iโ€™m now allergic…

  • CassieJuly 31, 2011 - 8:04 am

    Wow! Crazy times! And allergic to paint! That’s terrible.

  • jovonyAugust 1, 2011 - 1:41 pm

    I did not know you could paint a piano like that. Maybe I need to rethink giving mine away!

staying grounded

Itโ€™s been crazy busy around here, but itโ€™s been good stuff (minus the marker stain on my cream colored couch today) and Iโ€™m staying somewhat zen these days. The thing that keeps me grounded is these nutty guys. I saw this photo and thought it really captured how soft and perfect her skin is. I…

    Happy Birthday to Jocelyn! And the years will just keep going faster and faster, I promise. My oldest just turned 9 and my youngest just turned 4. Both seem impossible. (there’s a 7 year old in the middle too). Enjoy every moment (i’m saying this to remind myself as much as I’m saying it to you!)

  • KelliJuly 26, 2011 - 10:37 am

    Happy Birthday to that cutie! Mine are 21 and 15 and I can remember it like yesterday, the day they were born. I have to stop using the excuse “it’s baby fat” for my last 15 lbs. I need to lose!

  • AshleyJuly 26, 2011 - 11:32 am

    Happy BIrthday Jocelyn!!!!! That slideshow was just precious, thank you for sharing it with all of us! I can’t believe she’s already 1 year old, seems like time just flies by even faster! Hope you’re loving on her so much today!!! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Bets, I knew if I waited long enough you’d be back in business- yeah!! Connor is a senior and starts school in 3 weeks. Don’t fret, Concordia is no longer using pro photos for year book, so no hurry. But your boxed set sounds lovely. Email or call 260-705-8544 to talk details. BTW, when will we see pictures of ur redecorated house??? Stef
