It’s hard to know where to start and as seems to be the trend, I’ve stockpiled all my photos for my Sunday afternoon updates (one of these days I should really make my updates in real time). I’ve been spending the last two days playing catch up after spending the first half of this week…
I inadvertently left the camera card in the computer this morning so I relied on my phone and a little instagram editing to document the day. This morning we had a great breakfast at a new place called Scratch. It was in downtown Durham right beside the funzone that we went to yesterday. Connor sat…
It was an action packed weekend and its only half-way over. I’m only posting this now because I don’t anticipate near as much to happen tomorrow as we have crammed in thus far – but I am open to being proven wrong. Last night, JJ and I headed out to the NC State Track and…
Cailee had been listing the invitee list for weeks so of course all her favorite people were at her party. Grayson & baby 14 week old Liam (+ Miss Tracy and Mr. Rob) Isablella & Audry (+ Eddie and Melanie) Allison (+ Terri) Cousin McKinley & 10 month old cousin Riley (+ Auntie Em) GG…
The timing of this party couldn’t have been better or worse. In many ways, life has been so nutty lately that it was a good distraction. I appreciated the creative outlet, planning these parties are always a lot of fun for me. However, given that life has been crazy, I had little time to really…
The anticipation of the party was just killing Cailee. For weeks the countdown has been on, so you can only imagine what the days/hours leading up to the party were like. It was all she could talk about, think about – and it was driving her punch crazy. (On a related note: We were even…
I’ll have to say that one of the highlights of the weekend was getting to see Aunt Bep – aka Beth. Since Friday afternoon when Beth arrived, til today when Beth had to leave, Cailee was stuck to Aunt Bep like glue. On Friday, she peppered me all afternoon – is Aunt Bep here? Can…
As promised, here are some pictures from Cailee’s actual birthday. For as long as I could remember, birthdays have been a big deal – my mom made sure to make a really big deal about birthdays and I plan to always follow suit. Because, as Cailee told as this year “You know Mommy, I was…
Its been four years since Cailee enterered our lives and they have easily been the best four years of my life. Hands down, she’s the sweetest, most sensitive, shyest, yet silliest little girl I know and I love her more than I thought I could love someone. My favorite thing about Cailee is that she…
The scooter was the “it” thing for a while, then it collected dust like so many other things, and now its back and with a vengeance. Right now its that really awesome time of the year when the weather is warm still, but we’ve lost the humidity we have during the height of the summer….
