Big girl snack

I am doing my best to get Cailee thinking like a big girl – so I thought I could give her a snack at her kiddie table – but had these grand ideas that she would sit in the chair and munch on her popcorn very contently. These pictures captured the seconds that vision of…

A snowy weekend

Well I don’t think (yet again) all the hype lived up to the reality – we didn’t get a foot of snow, and an inch of ice as predicted. We kept our power, and we were back out on the roads two days later, but we did get some white stuff, enough to do some…

It’s almost D-day… and that’s a good thing…

We are talking about Demo, Drywall and Decorating. That’s right, JJ has been making significant progress on Cailee’s playroom. He’s finished the flooring, the framing, the electrical – none of which were small feats. Its been quite a work in progress over the past several months. Time is certainly limited as to when he can…

Mullet, Static, Bedhead, Tangles – you name it…

Hair is being an issue right now. I am pretty steadfast against cutting Cailee’s hair but she is starting to look a little mangy. Some days its the mullet – yep looks just like a redneck if you don’t do something with it – like pigtails – which she hates. And then other days its…

A weekend with friends

We had a great weekend with some good friends in Greensboro. Eddie and Melanie, their 2 1/2 year old Isabella and newborn Audrey, Cam and Ginny and Emmalee. Cailee was more than spoiled with attention and plenty of toys to play with and we enjoyed kicking off the new year catching up on everything going…

Back to work!

Well I survived the first week back to work. And it easier than I thought (mostly because everyone else was just ramping up and slow to schedule meetings, send emails etc, but I’ll take it) The day after Christmas when it hit me that the holidays were over and the vacation that I has been…

No!

So I don’t know if it qualifies as talking or not – namely because I don’t know if she really knows why she is saying what she is saying, but this week the word is definitely “No!” no to mommy, no to daddy, no to miss tracy and the most laughable, no to lola (which…

What a mess!

Cailee has really taken to wanting to feed herself these days. Only problem, she’s no good at it. Case in point – we started off with getting the spoon to the noodles and back to the mouth but not successful at either getting anything on the spoon or keeping it on the spoon for the…

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year ya’ll! I can’t believe its 2010. Time sure flies – but isn’t that what everyone says? Regardless, JJ and I decided that this year went by faster than any other that we can remember in a long time. Its pretty scary to think about that and know that every year here on…

Here’s looking at you…

Just cuz I don’t get many pictures with Cailee since I am usually behind the camera, I decided (against my better judgement) to post some of our self portraits that we took when we were having a little fun. https://photos.amidewar.com/2010/January-3-2010/
