Today's Coffee: Fair Trade something or other

Believe it or not, I don't have a lot of time anymore!
So, here's a few pictures of our household over the past several months. 

(Sorry I'm not more consistent!)

my guys - with monkeys in the background

early on saturday morning before a best friend's wedding. I was so excited about my hair, that yes, I took a picture and sent it to friends as proof. 


M-girl was baptized in March. Here she is wearing a dress that was made for her by a sweet friend, with W, and Poppi. 

Sometimes, M-girl is not always photogenic. This is one such instance. :)


Tummy time isn't a lot of fun. But, we gotta do it. Needless to say, she fell asleep on her tummy not 10 minutes later. 

Sometimes she is just so cute! Look at the romper. THIS picture captures M-girl perfectly.

Skirts. I don't like wearing them - but goodness - look at a skirt on a baby girl. PRESH!
(and chunky legs)
(my heart melts)

garden is started

Uncle Matt came and visited! W loves him so much. Even as I type this, W is reminding me how he and Uncle Matt threw rocks in the creek.

Our little family on the Duck River off the Natchez Trace.

Today's Coffee: Fair Trade Medium Roast

Hurry! My children are napping!
Write a blog post!

Ok, here we are. M-girl is 2 months old. Super healthy, gaining weight, wakes up once a night (occasionally)(she slept til 5am 4 nights in a row, now we are back to waking up every 3 hours). She is just beautiful, and is smiling so much these days. W is great with her - a little rough, but he's trying to be helpful. 

W turns 3 at the end of this month! What?! I know, right? 
There are days I don't feel old enough to be driving, let alone have children. So, there's that. 

It is still cold here. Not snowing or anything, but cold, and mostly gray. Today it is sunny. Still cold though. 
This is what it reminds me of:

**There is a cuss word at 1'04"**



I've started going to hot yoga several days a week. Loving it so far. Especially when it is in the teens outside, nothing like crankin' it up in a room heated to 100F. 


Keeping M-girl warm and cozy in her carseat!

Thomas went to a conference in January, and I decided to re-do our guest room. We never liked the color so W, M-girl, and I went to Home Depot and chose a new color 'Down Pour'. We (mostly me, but W 'helped') painted the walls...

And I hung beautiful dark purple curtains, hung these pictures that Seth took, hung some decorative mirrors and bought this lamp. Needless to say, we love it. 

I love my little kids! Who am I kidding? - Wilson is such a big boy!
We are currently doing some potty training work. And yes, it's work. 
It's hard work. 
In other news, we are going to be playing in BACHanalia - a 6 hour long concert of everything by many choirs and instrumental groups - all things Bach. :)

Look at this smile! My heart melts!

I've challenged myself to read a new book each month, and January (thru March) are The Lord of the Rings. I finished The Fellowship on Feb. 1 and am now reading The Two Towers.
Uhm, amazing!
Tom Bombadil, am I right?
Well, that's all I can type right now. Children are out cold so I'm going to grab a cupcake and do some chores. 

In Christ,
Julie
