'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.....

I'll Do It Better In My Next Thirty years

Today is doomsday. At 9:05 a.m on this very day thirty years ago my mother gave birth to me. I have done the "Holy crap, where did the years go?" I have done the "When did *I* get so freaking old?" I have cried and been mad and upset. I have looked at my life and realized it was NOT what I thought it would be at thirty. In both good and bad ways. I have run the gamut, so to speak and frankly now I am worn completely out. I am done. I went through getting old sucks . I spent time reminiscing about Swatch watches from back in the day. I have shed tears over my babies not being babies anymore . I tired to stop thirty from coming and realized that it was inevitable. I even got my friends to realize that we are indeed getting old. So today, as I move on in life and have to start checking a new box on forms, I still stand by my very first post on getting older. I think Tim McGraw has it right. My Next Thirty Years I think I'll take a moment, celebrate my age The en...

It Is Official...

I am now officially a participant in the NaBloPoMo . What is this you ask? It is an alternative to National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as, NaNoWriMo . The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November. Since I lack focus, which some like to call adult ADD, there is no way I could do that. So, enter NaBloPoMo. Besides sounding funnier, it is a much more doable thing for me. The goal of this? Post an entry to my blog every day for the entire month of November. You heard it folks. You will be blessed with some random something from me EVERY DAY for the ENTIRE month of November. I am even on the Official List. I am, really. You can go look. Now you may be asking yourself how you got so lucky. And I can not give you the answer to that. All I can say is that you can look forward to me rambling about basically nothing for the whole month. So sit back and enjoy the ride. Now, if I could only figure out how the hell to put up my button and get it to hy...
