wordless wednesday: my goldi girl, {goldi brand binky that is}

heartbreak

This poor little baby of mine is in the midst of her fifth cold since being born. 5! I guess that's the result of being born in the midst of cold and flu season. That and being the youngest, always picking up the crud from the older kids.   

Schlemiel, schlimazel, hasenpfeffer incorporated!

For some reason when this little lovely showed up on my door step this morning, I couldn't get this theme song out of my head. Hopefully someday soon, Zooey will be the Shirley to her Laverne. One can only hope.

treat yo self

In the words of Tom Haverford, sometimes you just have to 'treat yo self'.  That's what I did today, treated myself to a pedicure that was long OVERDUE! It may be snowing outside, but deep down I'm desperate for spring so I opted for a cute spring-y purple color to lift my spirits. 

*I don't think there is 
any way to take a cute picture 
of feet, this was the best I got. Yuck.

If this weather is getting you down and you need a pick-me-up, you should go visit Andria at Blush hair salon in Dallas, she does great work and that calf massage is To. Die. For.  

what stinks?

Potty training, that's what.


I try and take a cute picture of Everett in his big boy undies, and all I get is him and his derriere scurrying under the side table to do his "business" in private before I could catch him. Rats!

From the mouth of babes

After ending our prayers last night-


Me: In Jesus' name, Amen.
Everett: Aaaamin.
Everett: Where's Jesus?
Me: In heaven.
Everett: Heaben?
Me: Yes, Heaven.
Everett: Ooooh, He be right back, he went to da store and He be right back, mommy.

We work quick

 A fun little memory, taken before leaving the hospital after the birth of both our children. 

 Look at us, a couple of ramshackle new parents. Totally exhausted, totally naive, and totally in love with our newest addition to our family. {Everett Leo McMullin 1-2-2010}

 We don't waste anytime do we? In and out of the hospital in about 24 hours; I wouldn't call us seasoned pros, but pretty darn close {har, har}. Don't we look bright eyed and bushy tailed? We must have forgotten about the first go-around. We are so happy to have our little prince and now our princess. Life feels pretty darn complete.
