HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!

She amazed us with her Gladiator strength when she walked in balancing in daddy's shoes
and also wearing his ten pound kevlar!

um. . . turns out that Bobby is a huge fan of
Josey and the Pussy Cats !

Our little Princess insists that she dance with her soldier.

tee*hee

Morgan Lillie's 3rd Birthday!!!

Bobby's first swing...he was only slightly happy about it.
Mama's little helper!!!I'll be sure to keep this picture handy about 10 years from now!!!

what can i say??? she is drop*dead*gorgeous!!!

Mr. Boo . . . 4 months!

Beach Babes!!!

Mr. Boo ... 2 months old

...conspiring against us already.


"Bobby's so cute, Mama!"
"I love him!"

aww... cuddles!



just a typical morning at our house. i believe we were watching Peter Pan (morgan's favorite movie this month... she has her daddy's passion for movies and her mamma's fickleness.)
note that morgan is in her pajamas which means it could really be any hour of the day. if she's at home she insists on wearing pajamas if not nothing at all. clearly she has already developed Michael's and my habits. we love us some cozy pants!
( um, Bobby is only dressed because he had a "blow out" that morning. his new nickname is Torpedo! he is very tricksy, too... always waiting until the diaper is off! ah, geez. )

i am a Binge Blogger . . .










































i never get around to blogging because it takes me so long! i'm extremely indecisive and i try too hard to be entertaining. it's really quite sad actually because my blogs are never that impressive. so i shall try to be more consistent with my blog-posts. either that or i'll attempt to be more witty. but as the rule goes in our house... ~you get what you get and you don't throw a fit~

it was sooooooooo worth it !!!


here is the precious little babe that i spend every waking moment with. (which is quite a lot of waking moments these days)
it's easy to see why all the discomfort, weight gain, frustration, depression and sleep deprivation of pregnancy is instantly forgotten.



"my life is good. real good!"

Ah, to be pregnant.


For those who never got to see me in all my glory...

I am still amazed at how HUGE my belly can get. And to be honest I miss it. For what's left now after giving birth is not too pretty. My postpartum self-image is always really low. By the time the flabby belly starts to shrink the breastfeeding is well underway and I've become "elasta-tits". Luckily, I have a marvelous husband who reminds me that I'm beautiful. And who also enjoys the physical changes of postpartum in which parts of me shrink while other parts enlarge...

Men.

LET'S GO TO THE BEACH ! ! !

don't let the happy faces fool you. . .it was sooooo cold at the beach. we went to galveston, tx to have our first annual family christmas vacation.
daddy and mama could only handle about 30 minutes at a time at the seashore. . . poor morgan would have stayed all day if she could have.
what a cute little beach bum!
