I’m quite positive that the only thing cuter than a wee little boy in Christmas jammies {in early September}, eating animal crackers {and my camera lens cover}, while laughing at his daddy… is the little piggy belonging to this little boy, sticking out of said {prematurely seasonal} jammies while devouring aforementioned crackers. Gives a […]
Going Tropical One Last Time
As the warm days of summer begin to fade and the chilly Autumn breeze stirs up thoughts of hot cider and pumpkin pie…I’m in denial over here in my deck chair, thinking happy thoughts of Key Lime Pie and Pina Colada Fruit Dip. *Notice I said “thinking”…not “eating”.

Gone Fishing
Cricket loves working on cars with her daddy. She also happens to love climbing trees and collecting bugs. My girly-girl. Go figure. So it was no surprise when she started expressing an interest in fishing, and acquiring a little fishing pole of her very own. When she turned 3, my hubby’s grandparents fulfilled that wish. […]
1 Year Ago Today…
we heard the words Supraventricular Tachycardia for the very first time. Today, it’s simply a part of our daily lives. A hiccup, not a sentence. Often the moments that cause us to appreciate life and treasure our loved ones most fiercely are the ones when we feel like everything is being taken away. 1 year […]
