'Tis The Season....

to run around like a chicken with your head cut off. Or maybe that is only those of us who procrastinate?

Since the arrival of little Elodie, we have been busy. Mostly surviving. She is growing, growing though. As you can see....
Elodie at one month....
Elodie at two months....
Miss Chubby Cheekers.....with blue eyes.
The three (!) bigger kids are adjusting well. At this point none of us remember life without the newest Princess.

Xander turned two in November. Complete with a Yo Gabba Gabba party.

Elodie also gave us her first smile.

November passed and we hit the ground running in December. We spent the first weekend making tamales.


The kids and I decorated aprons and made gingerbread houses. Though I could not let them decorate it. Next year: a small village where each child decorates a little house of their own. Oh yes.

Front of house....gingerbread is not the easiest to work with.

And that brings us to today. Finishing up Christmas preparations. Watching the babies experience the world, trying to see life through the eyes of a child as much as possible.


Beautiful Princesses
A mama and her girls

With that.....

We wish you a very Merry Christmas! From our house to yours.....

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun.

But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while.
