Here’s Olivia all dressed up and practicing on the Big Day:
Look at that hair! (Thanks, Aunt Martha!)
“Take a picture of my basket.”
Such a pretty Sit ‘n Spin.

Meet Olivia’s Christmas cookies. She frosted them herself:
Meet our family Christmas photo! It took a half a dozen attempts, but we finally got one where The Daddy wasn’t blinking. My hair looks a bit crazy. And I wasn’t wearing a stitch of makeup. And Benjamin’s wondering why I keep running […]

It’s the chill of stone-cold neglect.
But don’t you even assume I’ve been using my non-blogging time to simply sit back and relax. No, we succeeded in visiting every single known relative in Illinois over the past eight days. And even squeezed in a wedding. And a friend or two. And a date *incredulous face*.
And we […]

Anywho.
We went all out. The Daddy […]

We just rolled into town this evening after a glorious time in Tennessee celebrating a wedding with family.
I’ve already washed, and hung a load of laundry, and clipped two weeks worth of coupons. I’ve some-what prepared a list for tomorrow’s grocery excursion. I’ve even done the dishes.

In a moment of boredom, I learned how to use Wordpress from a cell phone. Why use a cell phone when a computer is a billion times faster? Maybe because I wanna work on my txting skills. While driving thru Kentucky. All that to say I’ll be gone. Bye!

This past weekend was filled with shopping. And shopping. And more shopping. And a haircut. Times four. And yet more shopping. And my mommy came with my TABLE! I would take a picture to show you, but I’m still working (that is, I’m working - my pathetic internet provider is most definitely NOT working) on […]
