Those girls love their daddy.  Yes, they do.

The replacement antenna; we still have considerable pixel static on some channels, but I am super excited that I will be able to watch the Oscars on Sunday night.

February 23, 2011

One of the many reasons why I would LOVE to teach her to read.

February 22, 2011

The stickers we routinely get from Trader Joe's either end up plastered all over Corinne before we even get home from the store, or plastered all over a piece of printer paper shortly thereafter.  Anyone have a more constructive use for them?

February 21, 2011

Having fun at the Stone Zoo!

February 20, 2011

Corinne is so interested in reading that I decided to try this program. We haven't started yet, but we'll see how it goes.

February 19, 2011

So this is what's next to my sewing machine, part of the reason I haven't sewn in so long.  I need some serious organization in my life.

February 18, 2011

I don't know how well you can see it in this picture, but water got spilled on the frame and there is a big spot on Topher's forehead.  He keeps bugging me to order another print.

You know you're a parent when you get excited about the arrival of the One Step Ahead catalog.

February 16, 2011

I used to have a Monchhichi when I was little, and my mother got these for the girls. So cute!

February 15, 2011

This is my late grandmother's 30+ year old Bernina sewing machine.  My mother gave it to me shortly before I got pregnant with Felicity.  It is awesome.  I need to start using it on a regular basis.

Happy Valentine's Day!

February 13, 2011

Our dear friends and their sweet daughter, born 2/12/11.
GOD IS GOOD!

February 12, 2011

Corinne's goody basket from her friend Frankie's fourth birthday party, minus the ladybug tattoos. Those had to be applied immediately.

February 11, 2011

As long as Felicity takes an afternoon nap and Corinne has afternoon "rest time," the Pack 'n Play will be a permanent fixture in our bedroom.  At least it adds a splash of color.

February 10, 2011

Corinne is finally attempting to cooperate when I ask her to smile at the camera.  Little cheeser!

February 9, 2011

After our fourth rescheduled appointment, Felicity finally got to the pediatrician for her check up. Her height is incorrect (she's one inch longer than noted), but otherwise healthy.

February 8, 2011

Dark chocolate M&M cookies = OH, SO GOOD!

February 7, 2011

I love my messy fridge.  It makes me feel like a mom.

February 6, 2011

It's the latest, greatest toy: Tea Set in a Bag!
Maybe I should market this . . . 

February 5, 2011

Yep, she got in there all by herself.
She was so proud.

February 4, 2011

How is is possible that just over three years ago we owned NONE of this stuff?  Our children are slowly taking over every room in the house.

February 3, 2011

This is a planter that was given to my mother as a Welcome Baby gift when I was born.  I used to put Corinne's hair accessories in it.  Then she broke it.  I tried to glue it back together, but several pieces are missing.  Oh, well.  Maybe I can find one on eBay.

February 2, 2011

In an effort to return to my pre-Felicity weight by my 30th birthday
(just six weeks away), this book has become my new best friend.

February 1, 2011

Too. Much. Snow.

January 31, 2011

Our next door neighbor gave this toy to Corinne.  It also came with a play mat with pictures of scenery.  Corinne LOVES it. 

January 30, 2011

We are wimps here at the White house. Although we do let it get down to a frigid 68 degrees Fahrenheit at night.

January 29, 2011

Laundry was the bane of my existence until I had children. For some reason I take great joy in folding my children's clean clothes.  I just love it.

January 28, 2011

Some time ago Corinne decided to decorate her little green table with oodles of stickers.  This stubborn little Mickey Mouse was the only one I couldn't get up. Whenever I stop and look at him, I smile.

January 27, 2011

We still have the streamers up from Felicity's first birthday party.
I think it gives the dining room a nice festive look.

January 26, 2011

This is a plant that was given to my family as an expression of sympathy when my father passed away in February 2009. It is still going strong.  It is the only plant I have ever had in my entire life that I've been able to keep alive.
