National Eat Together Week...

this blog told me so. We celebrated today at McDonald's...and yesterday and maybe tomorrow. :)

what's for dinner

this was my feeble attempt to make dinner more conspicuous and appeasing dinner.

I'm not sure it worked although it was consumed and in the end, that's the point.

wow

I'm completely speechless aside from one word - WOW!

first day take two

Sophia started her first day of school this week. She was extremely hesitant when she woke up that day. Thinking it was going to be a long year gaging from the past when each week was a battle prying her from my arms, she wandered into her classroom and started exploring. We said our goodbyes with a hug and a kiss and I was off. She was such a big girl...we'll see what next week brings once the newness wears off.

A little love from big sis before we left.

lake weekend

We had the entire lake to ourselves last weekend - it was perfect, aside from it being a titch to cold. It was only the second time this Summer we had our boat out . Sophia tubed for the first time - shockingly and Saylor skied for the first time, getting up on the first (and only) try. She's a little too daring for me. I was honestly sore from tubing with her. She continually told Josh to speed up all while I was shaking my head in FEAR!

two cute tushes.

life.

this one...she can test your patience to the very nerve, but she can also make you laugh until you pee your pants.

tea party for two

Sophia refused to wear the sassy skirt but once she settled down they actually had a little fun.

First day of school

Today was my big girls first day of school (preschool that is, the elusive kindergarten is next year). She was actually giddy when she woke up - which is a first for us. Here's a little video of us singing the First Day song, much like last year.

she helped me make cupcakes for the PERFECT morning breakfast. It's such a treat to fuel my child with sugar prior to the first day school - high energy on the first day and sweet little girl on the remaining.

final hug for big sis.

working weekend

I put together a few photobooks this weekend for some clients and I thought I'd better throw one together for our family. I have yet to finish Sophia's first year scrapbook and I think I'm up to year 2.5 for Say - needless to say, I'm a little behind. Here's just a few pages...

I can't wait to see the finished product!

Gruesome but poignant

WARNING - this is VERY graphic.

I will never text while driving...
