28 June 2010

What a time of year for me to pick for sorting out insurance paperwork, photos and schedules!? What was I thinking? I’m committed to my cause, but if I didn’t take a minute to stop and smell the flowers, I’d have to be committed. Love, Jess

Valentine Notes I had the sweetest little visitors, Elle Belle and Lucy (and their mommy Becki), over to make V-day cards. We crafted a bit, ate some yummy treats and generally had a lovely day. There were a few tears but nothing red m&ms and a hug from the moms couldn’t fix. Take a minute [...]

Happy Holidaze… Are you in sugar shock just like I am? I am scrapping the bottom of the Peppermint ice cream carton as we speak. There is always January at the Y, right?

At the Farm Peter’s Uncle hosted Thanksgiving at his new farm house in the country. We enjoyed pumpkin pie made with pumpkins from their garden and a roasted hog from one of their pigs. So we said Oink! Oink! instead of Gobble! Gobble! I was glad that I was still in maternity pants so I [...]
