10 to catch up…

1.  Finally attempting to crawl out from under a rock and rejoin the land of blogging and working again.  I realized today I hadn’t posted a single thing in weeks about what has been going on with me and mine.  Our Christmas was a good one.  We succeeded in keeping things simple this year.  We enjoyed hosting Jason’s parents, grandparents and brother for Christmas.  I gave myself the gift of getting out of cooking by ordering dinner for 10 from Whole Foods.  We may have played a funny, but dirty, little trick on our family relating to the food.  We got them good!  HA!  I think it ended up being cheaper than it would have been to buy all […]

1.  In addition to getting ready for this weekend my days this week have been filled with one little boy fighting asthma, it’s been a rough one.  I told his doctor yesterday morning, after his 3rd rough day in a row, that I feel like we are missing a piece of the puzzle.  Something is off, I don’t know what I’m missing, what his doctors are missing, but its something.  I swear asthma kids are one big puzzle and it takes forever to put it all together!  I’ve also had one super, super sassy little miss T on my hands. What is it with her this week?  Not listening seems to be at the top of her to-do list.  And […]

these are for my mom.  who *almost* never complains about never getting photos of the kids anymore.  or that I rarely even send the ones I do take.  or that she’s still waiting on me to proof all the photos from our trip to her house *last* summer.  or that all the walls in her big, new house at the beach are blank and awaiting to be a life in motion gallery, just like her old house was.  or that she was supposed to see the kids over spring break, but I took on too much work to be able to go.  she certainly has more patience with me than I would if I were her.  I know that she […]

I knew I wanted to make a collage of my iphone pics at the end of the year.  thank you Michelle Nicoloff for this post, it totally inspired me 🙂

these moments would have been missed.  gone before i grabbed my camera.  too lazy to get up and go get it.  little blurbs.  little glimpses.  of my people, my loves.  these are the moments in my mind, even more so than the properly exposed and processed ones.  imperfect, real.  i got my iphone in july.  i love it.  i love that it forces me to accept the imperfections.  i not only accept them, i embrace them.  and i forgive myself for it.  maybe that is why so many people are […]

While my mom was here we had a free day with not much planned so we decided to take the kids out exploring.  Teagan and I have been to this particular sculpture garden several times before, we like to go out exploring new places while the older two are in school.  He loves this place.  It is peaceful, never overrun with people and he just has the space, time and energy to be a boy.  I knew the older kids would love it too so we gathered up our fancy smanshy magnifying glasses and headed out.

Exploring involves leaves, rocks and sticks.  Touching them, throwing them, dropping them into the water and […]

1.  Not sure if this will be 10 but I’ve been MIA and feel the need to catch up.

2.  Favorite moment from the first day of 2010…..Teagan throws his arms up in the air and yells “HA-PEEEEE NEW YEAR!”.  We all smile and clap at him.  So he smiles, soaks in the approval from us, throws his arms in the air again and yells “TOUCHDOWN!!!”.  I love that kid.

3.  Iphone pic….I find it oddly amusing and ironic that these two rung in the new year just like this…..

Actually, this was about 10 minutes before midnight (yes, we let our kids stay up, it is tradition).  She pushed him, got sent […]
