Cailee and her twin babies

When I was a child, apparently I loved playing with my baby dolls more than anything (til an embarrassing age). I hope Cailee is just like me in those regards. She has recently really taken to her baby dolls. She has two and they are now her favorite toys. They must sleep with her, go…

Trying to stay cool in the heat

When you don’t have a pool at your convenience you have to take some desperate measures to keep cool in the 90+ degree days, especially with a child that LOVES to be outside. So we found Cailee has a fascination for the hose and we were able to kick it up a notch (and conserve…

Happy Mother’s (PM) Day

It was a good day. We enjoyed time together as a family, then we made the trek to Greensboro for steaks on the grill and a walk in the park. The weather was perfect. Cailee really enjoyed the pond and had we let her would have jumped in (which would have been very very messy…

Happy Mother’s (early AM) Day

I guess its mother’s day already – its early morning – like 4:50 am – seems Cailee waited til the middle of the night to have a stinky and this woke her up, consequently woke me up and while she is back to sleep, I am still awake. So why not do a little catching…

Feels like summer!

Happy Birthday JJ!

Third busy weekend in a row and this time it was to celebrate Daddy’s 36th birthday. We ended up with a new grill (yeah!) and we moved it to the top porch – hopefully to encourage us to grill out a bit more (which we love to do, just rarely find the time to do…

GP racing

No JJ, this isn’t what you think its about. 🙂 (MotoGP is JJ’s favorite pasttime and lucky for us all the season is just about to kick off). But our favorite racer these days is Cailee’s granddaddy (possibly to be “GP” since JJ’s mom is GG). JJ was pitcrew all weekend for his dad and…

Happy Easter 2010!

I was looking back at pictures from last easter (the one with the Easter basket on her head was one of my favorite from the year). She has gotten so big in the last year – I just don’t know where the time has gone. It does really pass much more quickly then I ever…

A day in the life

I am sure there is already another post with this name, so consider this “A day in the life part X”. It’s really just a chance to post some pictures, as if its not obvious – I haven’t taken as many photographs lately – mostly because I am too busy chasing Cailee and getting her…
