Well hello there!

You ARE still there, right?

I've had conversations with a few of you (my mother and mother-in-law, auntie B, Michelle, Adrienne, etc...) and heard through the grapevine (am looking at you Deb!) that there are still a few of you out there looking in on our little bligity blog.

Life is crazy but I am here to give you what you really want:


I like to think I am witty and clever*, but I know the reason y'all are here is for those little smileys.

With faces like this


and this


I simply can't blame you.

I have the pleasure of seeing these lovely faces each and every day. Why wouldn't I share?

I also know that I should be blogging the ridiculous stories of my life. Like how Madeline is enjoying swimming lessons while I stand on the side of the pool deck with the other mothers feeling like I am back in Jr.High as one of the uncool kids. Or regaling you will all of the hilarious stuff that comes out of Madeline's mouth on a DAILY BASIS! Instead I am going to bed at 10pm and silently kicking myself for leaving my laptop cord out where the cat could chew on it and (yet again) short it out.**

Oh, and just to show how on top of things I am today (yeah me!) today is the summer solstice and the official start to summer. In celebration! I give you, A BRAND SPANKIN' NEW HEADER! (Click here if you are using a reader!)

So until we meet again, which I hope won't be so very long!

*Why is it that I can't type clever without first typing cleaver. I should cut that out. {insert cheesy rim shot here} Cleaver, cut that out, get it? Yeah, I didn't think so.
** I won't use that as an excuse because I wasn't blogging before she got her pointy little teeth on it but I soooo want to!

January 1st usually calls for resolutions of one kind or another

You will find none of that here.

None I tell you.

I've been an absentee blogger. We've been busy. Want to know what's taking all my time?

Me too. When I figure it out I'll let you know.

I think it might have a little to do with this:


Oh boy are we in trouble one of these days.

and some of this:


Just when we thought it was impossible for her to get any cuter. I just want to eat her up!

And maybe this:


Ok, most definitely not that last one. But look at how happy he/she is! Who knew goats were such jovial creatures. I sure didn't.

So I'm back and I have some catching up to do. I've changed the header and it is boring. I will have to revamp sooner than later and with that I hope to make a few other changes to this here bligity-blog. I started this as a way to write and record life with small children, because have you seen these two?


They don't stay little nearly long enough.

September 2010

June 2010

I didn't want to let go of my April header. But I know that the time was (over) due. With the new look is a new masthead. Enjoy.

Hey good lookin'

The blog has a new look.

Too bad the header is from April.

Can't win them all.

April 2010

I think this is my best header ever. I took two photos with the timer feature on my camera this week. I was trying to get a photo of Lydia and I together. This was the first one. Nothing planned, or posed. All totally hilarious.

I can't think of a better photograph to illustrate this time in my life. Total perfection.

February 2010

I read a couple of blogs where the women are frequently "setting up photo shoots" for their children. Most days I am lucky if I remember to put on deodorant not to mention get my camera out. But I fell to the pressure and had a "photo shoot" with my girlies today. The new masthead is proof of that. More photos to come as this 'holiday' approaches.

These girls crack me up. I can't help but think of this.

January 2010

Do you know how hard it is to get a photo where neither one of the girls is crying? Nearly impossible.

Headers might have to alternate photos of the girls... because getting this photo almost broke me.

Happy New Year!

November 2009

The masthead for October never happened. I'm ok with that. I have a newborn. I am ok with lots of things these days that I may not have been before. That is life with a two week old.

So on to November.

August 2009

Although it is coming to an end, this summer has truly been amazing. I am so in love with my family I can't stand it.

Photo for this month's masthead was taken by a very dear friend's 15 yr old cousin while visiting with them in Florida. She is super talented if you ask me... I have a bunch of really amazing photos from last week. Some I took, some she took. Maybe I'll get to that on Monday!

Happy Fourth

My favorite Holiday is only three days away. I am all atwitter!

(and so is our new masthead!)

May 2009

New month, new masthead. Since Madeline is turning 2 this month I dedicate this 'the month of Madeline'.

But really, what month in the last two years HASN'T been the month of Madeline?

There may only be 9 days of April left, but the masthead says it all.
