Helping Papa Work

Elliott can't pass by Papa's office with out whole body shaking and jumping. At that point we HAVE to stop and visit.

Ten Things I am Loving Right Now:

1. long summer days
2. simple meals
3. trips to the lake with good friends
4. consolidating, again
5. big washing machines
6. all these "firsts" with my babies
7. summer gardens
8. david and his devotion to our family
10. cool nights

The Dinner Table: The One Place Your Camera Should Never Go

Yet here I am invading everyone's nice meal in hopes of capturing my favorite time of the day. Often this is the only meal we eat together as a family and not for my lack of trying.

My Ballerina Mouse

This girl is growing up so fast. I'm not going to lie, I just spent the last 45mins looking at every picture I have of her on the computer. Now I am feeling especially reminiscent. Everyday she has something new to share with me and everyday it catches me by surprise.

My favorite quote from our mama-big-girl-mouse-Angelina-ballerina-errand-run:
"I smell something bad! *sniiiifffff* I think it is a chipmunk"!



Take a close look. Yes, those are pigtails.

Silliness in my bed

Story by Bella

Once upon a time there was a big woman and a little girl named Bella and Mama and she had a little brother named Elliott. They heard a thump thump thump. Do you know what that was? Does it sound like a monster? It wasn't a monster it was just Papa being silly!
