dress up fun

I have to give my mother-in-law some serious props (do people still use that expression? Honestly, I don't get out much...sorry...). Anyway, the woman is amazing! I had mentioned that the girls were really into dressing up these days. And what does she do? Well after planning a really fun family picnic day, she has us all back to her house and arranges for the little girls to put on...

I'm still totally and completely mystified that it's December. HOW.did.this.happen?? How can it be the end of the year already? How can it be Christmas in a few short weeks?

our wedding ~ part one…where?

Our wedding. It was 4 years ago this November. Unbelievably, it seems like yesterday. However, 3 babies and a mortgage tell me it was not! We were engaged in February ’06 and married 9 months later (And nope, there sure wasn’t a bun in the oven!! Addie didn’t come into our lives until March ‘08!). The Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii had become a special place to...
