My Heart Runneth Over Wednesdays....

My heart runneth over with.......

Vacation begins on Saturday!

Honestly, it needed to begin today!

Favorites of my 6 year old

A sweet friend gave me this great idea (thanks S!!) to do with the kids around their birthdays.
I think it is a fabulous way to see how they change from year to year.
I'm a little belated since H's birthday was in August, but that seems to be the story of my life right now.  So consider this your notice that our Halloween pictures will likely be posted in December and Christmas fun in March :)

So here it goes....

My Heart Runneth Over Wednesdays...

My heart runneth over with....sadness and pride.

Last month, our girls started another school year.
We now officially have a 1st and 2nd grader.

 

 

 

 



It certainly doesn't even seem possible.

Where did another year go? 

How is it possible for a summer to go so fast?

How can our little girls be so grown up already?

We have come a long, long way since 2:10pm on 10/18/04 and 7:48am on 8/11/06.

How can it all be such a blur?

 

Look at how beautiful they are:

 

 

 

We are so proud of you both!

E, you are bursting with personality, confident, brilliant, nurturing and beautiful.

H, you are so innocent, carefree, gentle, intelligent, thoughtful and stunning.

We love you more than the world!

 

Have a stellar year!  We are bursting with excitement and anticipation of what the year will hold!

You both ROCK!

 



 

 



Eeewwww! Memories........

Last week I went out to start the grill and almost touched this!!!!

 

Melissa and Katie.....I needed you. 

I needed you and your styrofoam box and beet salad! 

(I still don't know WHO actually orders a beet salad! ha ha!)



I, on the other hand, don't give a crap about the educational value of this dear mantis and swept it OFF my grill as fast as I could!
OK...actually, I'm lying.....I made Ed sweep it off the grill :)

It's amazing what memories a preying mantis brings!
Love you ladies!

Noodles

 

 

 

 

By the looks of it, I'm guessing he really liked the noodles!!
