My grandpa recently turned 90. Chris and I got to go visit for the weekend and celebrate with all my cousins. It was really fun. While I was there, I took some photos of Grandpa’s house. I have so many fond memories in that house — we would visit every summer when we were [...]

It’s springtime here. I love it. Last week the boys helped me spring clean the yard. We took all the weeds out, loosened the dirt, planted impatiens and petunias, trimmed the bushes, admired the azaleas, wished the homeless dog would stop pooping in our flower beds by the front door, spread 3 yards of mulch, cleaned out all [...] My boys love to play outside. Back in January, we upgraded our backyard plastic slide for a real fort (Thanks, Jon!). This is the view from the back door, standing on the deck. The boys run off the deck, through the trees, and up the ladders. Cooper is not interested in the fire pole, but Max loves it. [...] Hi. I’m feeling a little unbalanced right now and thought you might want to know (if you don’t want to know, stop reading and just admire how handsome Owen is!). This is my darling boy. He is six months old now and cuter than ever. He is so many things: smiley, content, happy, handsome, strong, fast. One [...] Can I share with you a dream of mine? This is the view from my mom’s kitchen sink. I know the picture is a little dark. Did you get that? This is what she sees out the window above her sink. Breathtaking. I took this photo a couple months ago when I was there visiting (yes, I rode on an [...] We ate our first batch of green beans at dinner last night. Oh, there is nothing yummier! Tomatoes are growing. Something came and ate ALL of my marigolds. In one night. Really bummed about this, but every year I learn something new and this year I’ve learned to not plant marigolds. But the petunias are growing and growing [...] I love our gardens. Flowers and veggies. We all work together to take care of our gardens. One thing I like about living in Houston is we can have gardens all year round. Here are some photos of our gardens this year. Everything is new and just starting to grow. While my mom was here about a month [...] I have two little buddies who work along side me in the art room. They both love projects. They have their own bucket of supplies – tape, markers, crayons, scissors, glue. We like to listen to our Elizabeth Mitchell radio station on Pandora while we work. This kiddo prefers to work on the floor so he can [...] potted ranunculus on my back porch
After reading this discussion over at Bloom last week, I realized how easy it is to let the true meaning of Easter get lost in bunnies and eggs and flowers. Now, don’t get me wrong. I love spring. I love a fresh start. But I also want my [...] I’m having a hard time believing it’s March. Where did February go? I totally missed it! Oh well. Things have been crazy busy around here – hence the lack of blogging on my part. Sorry! I promise there will be a tutorial this Tuesday (I’m such a slacker!). I had my first sinus infection since high [...]  |
