Good Monday to all!  We had a very fun holiday with family... more on that later.  All 3 of us have major sniffles, so we're reckoning with that this week :(.  But all is well in the big scheme.

Hope your weekend was lots of fun -- and hope you can taste, hear, and smell a lot better than we can.

And that's a cold reference above. Thought it made sense... but looking at it again it seems a little odd.

Instead of deleting and trying over... I leave things and then try to explain.

Ok, ok, I'll leave you now.  With this.

full circle

it's photos like this one that make me all teary. friendships coming around full circle to a new generation. fills me with gratitude to God for allowing us to have so many friends and so many wonderful relationships. 

now please excuse me while i find a kleenex.

I should've taken before and after photos.
Ah. Makes washing dishes more fun. :)


Happy Monday to all.  Over here we're bouncing off the walls because Immy's new friend was born last night. We can not wait to meet Gemma!


Ok, ok, here's one more of Imogen.  She loves playing the piano. It's something we have in common. P.S: who wants to learn The Nutcracker duets with me???  Tis the season and all so I brought out the solo book on Saturday and was reminded how fun those pieces are to play... seems like even more so if you're playing with a friend.  So, who's in???
Maybe Immy will be soon. :)

Love.

good morning, daylight saving!

yesterday it was 6:30... today it was a bit before that.

and you have to snap fast
because she holds still for max 1 second at a time

waking early is fine by me.... as long as it means a 2 nap day.
::crosses fingers::

but she is sweet. man, is she ever sweet.

hope you're savoring the daylight.
love.

it's my party and i'll cry if i want to

but she didn't want to, thankfully, and that made this party a great success.

on the way home. all birthday'd out.

so thanks to aunt auty and unc G for hosting and fixing a delicious dinner for everyone!  and thanks to the family for attending and bringing such wonderful presents. i think we've all had fun playing this week. :)

love.
