Me and my blender.

I had to laugh a little when I recently bought a small blender, and of came with a sippy top.... designed to drink straight from the blender, as of its just too much effort to put the drink in a cup, ha! Well, it turns out it's genius... I can often be found sipping my protein shake straight from this blender, just before washing it so I can do it all again! Here I am, just back from my morning stroll with Gus. Bringing the blended full of morning Shakeology was a first today... sometimes I wonder what the neighbors might think. At least it's so dark they can hardly see... I was so happy with my lazy little blender there!

Embrace the camera: September 29

For one reason or another, dinnertime has always been a rough time for Hannah. We try all kinds of different games to make it fun for her: everyone takes a bite at the same time, Daddy shows her a scab when she takes a bite (not my favorite, but it seriously worked for a week or so), fun cookie cutter shapes, eating races, and of course, the airplane. Micah is really good at making these games up, and here's the latest: moustache fun! This makes her laugh every time... can't be cranky when you're pretending to rock a 'stache! Aren't they cute?

Go check out some more fun photos like this one here Enjoy, and Happy Thursday!

Happy birthday to Micah!

Yesterday was Micah's birthday. Even though he does not care about his birthday, to me, it's a really big deal to make it awesome. Because it's the day he was born. My life is better because of him, and I love to celebrate it! Simply, though. That's what he wants. Well, here are some fun details from the day, and a photo that begged to be shared: cinnamon rolls and bacon in the morning (I baked both in the oven. At the same time. Didn't think it would work, but so thrilled it did, because I didn't want to reek of bacon at work. Imagine what high school students would say about that..."she smells like bacon...") New pair of shoes. Hannah stole them in the morning, but Micah had a chance to wear them on our date night: Daphne's for dinner, "The Help" for our movie, and Mint Chip Cold Stone to polish off the end of the evening. In the end he said it was, "perfect." Nailed it! YES! AWESOME!!!

Embrace the Camera: On the way to school

This moment coming to you from Micah's perspective. He does the drop-off for preschool in the morning, whether or not I am home to help with the routine, and this works best for Hannah. She's a wreck if I drop her off, but she seems to calm down much more quickly when Micah drops her off. I think he's better at making a quick exit! Anyhow, I was delighted to find this in my inbox one day at work... gave me a little slice of home life when I needed it most. What a beautiful morning to be headed to school!

Oh ps... I just got a new phone, and the good news is, it's blogger capable, so I can update more often. I have missed writing, and coming in to fall, there's lots to share!!!
