Spring


I am thankful for...

...the sights and sounds of spring. Beautiful bluebonnets, birds chirping, and gorgeous weather for walks on the greenbelts.
...the best visiting teachers ever. They probably aren’t as excited to see me as I am to see them, but it sure is nice to have a scheduled chat with these sisters every month (I always need it!).
...roses and chocolate from one of the aforementioned visiting teachers. Just what a girl needs :o)
...three Mondays in a row with Darren at home! His new job didn’t start until Tuesday, so it was nice to have an extra long weekend with him home.
...nap time with my two little loves. It’s been so nice that we’ve all been napping at the same time.
...my first venture out with the children by myself. We went to the library and the bank and it was a successful trip (only a few tears in the car on the way there). And when Lila misplaced the DVD’s she chose to check out, miraculously there was a second copy of both the movies she had picked (that never happens!).
...meal making that went well this past week since I planned and shopped in advance (except for the one night where my chicken was past its sell by date, but Five Guys burgers rescued the night :o). I even resumed breadmaking!

Here's the only pics I took this week. Taken with the Instagram app, so not amazing, but at least it's something!
She put herself down for her nap, on the couch.


3 weeks old. He now has a terrible case of baby acne, so there probably won't be many pics of this little guy until its gone.


Lila said we were pretending it was Halloween. I'm not pictured, but I was dressed by her as a rabbit.

Going private, send your e-mail to keep reading!!

Well, I've found out that a middle aged man has been coming on my blog and looking at pictures of my children.  I am obviously very uncomfortable with this, so it's time to go private. I'm happy to let any of you continue reading, as long as I know you and know you're not creepy! Just post your e-mail address and I'll add it to the list :o)

The long version & his name

I started working on this post on Wednesday, but I've been sick with a cold and desperately trying to get rest, so here it is Friday and I'm finally finishing it up! Monday morning I woke up with a sore throat and a cough. I thought I had escaped getting sick like Darren and Lila, but I wasn't feeling great so I slept in until 9am. Me and Lila hung out at home resting all day Monday. I spent so much time on the couch in the living room that I started sketching and making decorating/rearranging plans for the living room. I pinned curtain and art ideas on Pinterest and started pricing out my plans. When a friend invited Lila over for a play date on Tuesday, I started making plans for hitting up the craft store and beginning my living room makeover the next day. After Darren got home and we got Lila to bed, I found some energy and began rearranging the living room and straightening up the house. Then at 10:30pm I decided to do a short yoga practice, took a shower at 11, ...

Lila is 2!!

Where did the time go? My baby is two and not really a baby at all. We love her to pieces and can't imagine life without her. She continues to learn things quickly and is already starting to read. Just kidding!! Just wanted to see if you were reading my post. Lila loves to learn, but she's not a genius (sorry sweetie--your genes aren't that good!). Lately she's been learning the sounds the letters make (she learned the alphabet at 16 mos.) and by sight she recognizes the words "cat", "dog", "Mom", "Dad", and "Lila." She knows all the colors (although her colorblindness sometimes gets her mixed up on red and green...those darn genes again!), shapes, and numbers 1-15. She enjoys singing, playing the "I Spy" game, running, climbing, going to nursery on Sunday, bike rides, looking at books, and going to the library. Oh yeah, and did I mention that she likes chocolate just as much as I do?? Maybe I shouldn't ha...
