Geoff came home from a weekend bike trip with the start of a beard going on. We both can’t stand facial hair, so on Sunday he got out the shaving cream and a razor as opposed to his electric shaver. Isaac was mesmerized. I told him about how my dad would shave and my brother Seth would sit next to him on the sink with a bladeless razor and pretend to shave. Of course you know what Isaac wanted to do after that story.
Having my own mother here over the past week has been wonderful and only makes this day more meaningful to me. I’m happy to say that my mom has become more than just someone who raised me, she is my friend. She is selfless, so talented, funny, and beautiful. She’d literally give you the shirt off her back if you needed it (and I know that from experience when I got a bloody nose on the way to Haley’s wedding!). I love her with all my heart and hope my children will look up to me the way I do to her.

Teaching my 2 year old how to use a knife like any good grandma should.
She did spend a lot of time with Isaac too, I just didn’t get many pictures of it. Here she is walking to Isaac’s tree fort with both of the kids wearing capes she has made them.
For some reason, things were very productive around our house this morning. The house was cleaned, laundry folded, a buzz cut for Isaac, and baths for all. Love mornings like that.
Because I’ve had so many people interested in what I did to the Luxury Cart photos (see post below), I thought I’d post a Before and After so you can see exactly what I did. These were shot with my wide angle lens.
We’re back from a fantastic trip to California. Here’s one of my very favorite captures from the trip. Our kids were in HEAVEN!! And so were Geoff and I seeing them like that. Just don’t ask me to sit in a car again for a very long time.
We are going to California and Disneyland soon. The kids couldn’t be more excited. We’ve been showing them YouTube videos of the rides and things to do around Disneyland for a month now and they’ve been collecting marbles by doing things to help around the house to earn some play money at Disneyland (best idea EVER by the way). My first time to Disneyland I was a child of 22…my kids are spoiled. Any suggestions of things to do with the kids in the Anaheim-San Diego area?
This little girl is SOOO excited to see the princesses, although she has informed me that she is too shy to hug them. This ought to be interesting.
Those mischievous leprechauns came to our house last night and did all sorts of funny things. They were nice enough to leave us some Lucky Charms for breakfast however. We celebrated the day in fine fashion at Amy. F’s house for our annual St. Patty’s day party where there was fine dining and these sweet hats (see below). All the makings of a great holiday!
And their daddy, who I realized I haven’t taken pictures of in a very long time. Such a shame because he’s smoking hot. I’ll have to remedy that situation.
Here are some requested interior shots of our home. Like I said, it’s still real empty.
Hallway to mudroom area, garage and on the left, the laundry.
