My family, my family...

Just in case I don't make it on in the morning as we get back to our usual routine here is our family portrait, taken by Mike.

Long weekend

Despite us all having a cruddy cold and cough that is still not gone we enjoyed our weekend...

Just me being me

Just a second Mom....

Hot and Humid Tuesday

Here's a great picture that Mike took...

Baby Shower Gifts

Here are some fun presents I made for my friends baby shower, burp clothes and a taggy blanket with a matching birdy. And a bonus peanut picture!

Fun with dad...

Star of the Week

Daphne is star of the week in her room, Little Wonders, this week/month (not sure why it's called star of the week really). She gets to bring in some info about herself and her favorite book, treat or CD. She is bringing two books, Where is baby's mommy and Where is baby's belly button, those are her all time favorites right now. Here is the info she is going to share (keep in mind it was a pre-written form, we filled in the italic words):

Daphne's favorite activity is playing outside. She wishes everything she owns would be the color green. She likes to eat beans and drink water. Daphne thinks the best place to eat is at home. Her favorite vacation spot is Marquette, MI because she visits all of her grandparents. She always likes to read Where is baby's mommy. Dog is the word she uses the most. When she grows up she wants to be an artist because she loves stickers and finger painting. The things Daphne likes most about school are the friends. Lastly, Daphne wants you to know her middle name is Noelle.

Mmmm...smoothie time!

Rainy Tuesday

It is raining and gray out this morning. Here is a picture taken from the inside of Daphne's little animal barn, so what the toys see I guess. Have a great day!

Happy Mother's Day!

Just thought I'd do an honorary Mother's Day post to say Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there that have worked so hard to raise little ones...and to my mom especially!

Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod!
Keep, oh, keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God!
All true trophies of the ages
Are from mother-love impearled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.

Here are some pictures from the past...

Cold and Rainy

Today is mommy baby day...and it is 40 degrees and raining...so we are having a living room breakfast picnic!

Enjoying the day...

My vacation

We had a great trip home to visit our families. The weather was perfect and we got lots out outside time. Here is Daphne enjoying her sun hat and new outside toys from Grandma and Grandpa Soetaert!
