MIA

This is where we will be for the rest of the week. See ya next year!!!

Little Miracles

The sky in winter.

My butterfly girl.


Her big blue eyes.


That she can hold her head up in the carrier.
The many times we have tried before,
she was unable to do so.



Believe in miracles.
I do.

Happy Holidays!

Some of my favorite times during the holiday season happen between Christmas and New Year's. Oby's off work and the crazy-busy time is over, so we can just enjoy being together! Chloe is cutting four eye teeth and because of that has been sleeping terribly for almost three weeks now. Which means I've been sleeping terribly - or not sleeping - for about three weeks also. So Oby let me sleep in this morning, then when I decided to roll out of bed, he served me breakfast!

Mmmmmmm!

I love my cuties.

Chloe's shirt says, "I love being me this much!"
Sooooo cute. Thank you Emma!

Today we've been enjoying some of our Christmas gifts, and trying to find a place to put everything! I decided to frame the pictures we gave the grandparents. Oby's parents got these two treats:

Cute Grandkids!

Cute grandkids (all with ornery faces after a long photo shoot - funny!)

And my parents got this treat:

I didn't crop my double-chin face out of their picture, but the rest of you dont' get to see it. Otherwise, I think this picture is adorable! I especially think this is an excellent pic of Oby. =)

Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Day!

Our Journey From Dream to Reality

The dream....


The reality....

It's really hard to get a full-body shot of Chloe because she's so long and doesn't yet sit up. But I think these pictures kind of show off the skirt Chloe wore today! It's really, really cute as long as you don't look too close and see all the mistakes I made. ;O)
