I love this girl

I love this little lady. She is mighty spiffy and there is nothing little about her personality. Her parents are pretty rad as well, but I feel more inclined to write about Ms. G at the moment. This is a photo from her 3rd b-day party.

If I remember correctly, 3 years ago she came out with as much personality as evidenced in the previous photo.

Her parents just didn’t know it yet… Don’t they just look blissfully ignorant?

My daughter loves her too.

A lot. A whole big lot. Her words.

In fact, Ms. G is on the top of the list for bribing. As in… “Put your shoes on! Don’t you want to see G next month?” And it works.
But we love her for so many other reasons as well.

Not least of which is that she typically brings her parental entourage with her on visits. We are sad she lives ever so far away.
Happy Birthday Big Girl!

Photographer humor and how to save some money on leaf peeping.

My friend Alex sent me this site to check out and I happened upon this little comic that made the photographer in me smile. Thought I would share:

The site is called XKCD : A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language. To all my nerdy friends out there enjoy! Thanks Alex!

Wikki Sticks- wicked cool crafty thing for kids

I can’t believe how long this gift from my sister and her husband entertained my kids for. I think it was over an hour. I am not sure though, I actually went through my mail while they were working with it. It is something like a flexible sticky pipe cleaner (if you remember the craft projects as a kid). I think it is basically a string covered with wax. Dunedin made flower after flower after flower. Thought I would pass the idea along. If your kids like to manipulate things and like stickers, you may want to check it out. ( Sidenote: Also fun to pull them out of the carpet)


They were both VERY impressed with mommy’s spider.


And griffin was thrilled to be able to mash them up and stick them on paper. (it was D’s smiley face but he embellished)
