October little things

Yes that says “October” and I do realize it’s February 1st. I haven’t done my “little things” posts for the last few months and although I’m not organized on most things in life, I do really like to keep those memories put together.  I love being able to find all the little branches of happenings…

Thanksgiving weekend 2018

So I know Thanksgiving is ancient history by now, but for record’s sake, here’s the low-down of how our weekend went. One of my favorite moments was the happy reunion of Lu and Elle when I brought her home early in the morning from her red-eye flight (we stopped for an early breakfast, just the…

happy birthday to my #1

I meant to post this all day yesterday, on the big birthday day, but here I am a little late.  Too busy celebrating 🙂  In the wake of the big Turkey Trot hoopla, we get to celebrate this guy. One year older.  One year wiser.  One year more good-lookin’.  One year even deeper my best…

September little things

Let’s just start summing up September by giving a little ode to our dog. We love her. Amen. I have this picture the beginning of September, but it’s really from the end of August when Elle returned from Jerusalem and she gave us some gifts.  I posted pics of the girls gifts, but here are…

Halloween 2018

For Halloween this year we had a creepy doll: (not sure why that’s creepy…she looks kinda cute to me…) A lion and a Jazz player: (again, not sure why that outfit is a “lion” outfit, but the more I chided that we could at least go with brown clothes I could surely track down for…
