Our Week in Pictures

Because sometimes you're too busy having fun to write about it all!

Saints and Sailors

I'm not a hot-head.

I don't feel the need to yell and scream and throw things when I'm upset.

Neither does my husband - football games excluded.

I think we have done a spectacular job keeping our cool during this renovation process, even when things aren't working as planned, tools go missing, fingers smashed, etc. After all, little eyes and ears are constantly around, soaking in all we do and say.

And then it happened.

The girls visited their grandparents twice in as many weeks. Each time when we have gone to pick them up we were greeted by a story in which our sweet, lovely three year old announced that someone or thing, "pissed her out."

I must admit, I found it hard not to laugh at the miswording. but this little face saying those things??

For days now when I look at her I hear Chris Carrabba singing the soundtrack to our day.

Oh, Amelia....

you smile like a saint, but you curse like a sailor... 

Good Distractions

So much has happened since I last posted that I can't wait to share. It has been such an adventure moving into and renovating our first home!

We FINALLY got internet (and cable, but that's a rant for another day) and the first thing my sister sad to me was, "what's your first post going to be about?"
 

I love that she reads, and I think genuinely likes reading my blog, and she's fully aware that we have completed many projects I could share but the reality is I've been too distracted to post.
 

Distracted by endless projects needing finished, distracted by the hole in my bedroom floor that small children would love to throw everything they own down, distracted by keeping up on the day-to-day through this process, by infinite blog posts I'm catching up on, by beautiful projects others are creating, but mostly...distracted by life.
 

Distracted by these two sweet little faces, who seem to particularly love their mama as of late.
