These days


  • These days I have been trying to occupy Tyson with more than computers and movies (something I fell into after I brought Jack home). Trying to do more things like homemade playdough, putting together the "Island of Sodor", (you Thomas moms will understand), practice writing letters and shapes, more music listening....
  • These days we have had lots of family around to bless our little one.....



  • These days I have been painting my nails with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure. The best I have found so far and so quick to dry....

  • These days I have been writing Jack's birth story so I don't forget the nitty and gritty details....
  • These days I have been pouring over my Christmas Planner, making lists, preparing to bake yummy things, thinking about new traditions to implement.....

  • These days have been filled with Christmas music....
  • These days my baby has started to take wondrously long, luxurious naps....

  • These days I wonder how I can put my food storage to better use.....
  • These days are filled with a rekindled interest in jewelry....
  • These days are quiet and cozy
I couldn't be happier. :)

I have two little boys currently playing Island of Sodor... hence their preoccupation so I can sit and read blogs :-D

I'm so happy life is so good for your awesome family! We love you all.

Oh goodness. I love our family pic! :) And I love my nephews! How has Willy already won over Jack? How?? :) Thanks for the fun post. I'm also loving the almost Christmas thing as well. I may already have Christmas lights up in the house. Just a few.

Hey- I absolutely love your family pic! I love how you all have such fun, crazy personalities!

And I can't belive how big Jack is already! Brady keeps giving me a hard time that we haven't come to see you yet! Text me and let me know when might be a good time.

Miss you!
