Princess party

Julia was invited to a very special birthday party at Bridget's house. She was turning four and had a princess party. You can see all the girls are somewhat into princesses. Just a little, maybe? I almost felt like a failing parent of a darling daughter because Julia ended up being the girl at the table, who at first was entranced, then decided power tools were more exciting than the REAL Cinderella. I guess it was a bit much pink for her taste. But hey, if she grows up to be handy with power tools, she'll be ahead. Nothing wrong with a little tomboy action! 

But after the party all she talked about was Cinderella and the princess dresses and the glitter and the sparkly cupcakes. I guess she was just a bit shy on someone else's turf. A big thanks to Jamie and Bridget for such a fun afternoon!





Julia is not drinking the wine above, by the way. That was only served to the moms, who definitely enjoyed it! I included a singing clip, because honestly, you just have to hear this woman sing. It was pretty impressive. All the girls ate up the singing of the Disney songs.

This is what I have been doing.

Yes. I haven't updated anyone in a while. Truthfully, there hasn't been much camera action. Between packing up, moving out, moving in, unpacking, and the notorious fourth quarter of work... and a computer that is dying (are you listening, Santa?). I can't get anything done! But I did create something at work that I'm super proud of. You should watch it. Over and over. And share it. And like it. That's the thumbs up button. I art directed, executive produced and helped promote this video on all the free channels that we know of. Including this one! My blog. So enjoy.

Fond memories

I know. It's been a while. But days like today...with the clear blue sky and the crisp air, remind me of our week at the beach. That happened a month ago now. How things change in one month. Lots to update everyone on. But first, let's share some photos from the amazing, incredible, fun, giggly week we had with these guys . It was an awesome week. The kids did so great together. And they were so much fun. The only photos I don't have, that I wish I could share, were from our first night there. I took the four kids down to the beach and the sun was setting and shining through the clouds. The ocean was so warm. We put our feet in. One thing led to another. And then Julia, Alex and Annalisa were swimming in their clothes. But never happier. The smiles I saw that night were priceless. I will never forget the sun shining in their eyes and how happy they were. Which was good, because that night of swimming held them until Thursday. The red "no swimming" flags were u...

Sleepless nights

For the past week and a half, the entire house has been waking to sounds similar to this coming from that little Schuyler body. We've tried feeding the kid more. We've tried putting her to bed earlier and later and with less blanket and more music. I guess she's just at that age when she enjoys being a night owl. Hopefully it won't last long. Luckily, Schuyler is super cute and very happy when we go in to see her. She hugs so tight and tries to eat your face. It's very comforting...except that her talons are super sharp and she doesn't sit still long enough to make it easy to cut them. As I keep hearing, this too shall pass. And I'm sure we'll miss our midnight rendezvous adventures and snuggle sessions. But, truly, we just want a few hours of quiet sleep. Schuyler, if you can read this, there is lots of fun to have in the daylight hours too!
