they’re here!
my parents flew in from north carolina. thankfully, it was a beautiful day and we made it to the airport in time to see their plane land. Love my kids’ excitement!

taco tuesday
i know there’s probably so many things technically wrong with this picture- but it’s my project, so i don’t care! i love this picture for so many reasons! for of all…that’s my mom sipping her beer in the back- she hates to be in pictures- but i’m glad she’s in this one, even if it’s a little blurry back there…kind of reminds me of where she is in my life now- maybe not clearly present but i know she’s still there. also- it was taco tuesday. it was my mom’s idea to take it a step further…hence the sombrero, the mustaches, the maracas (i’m really not happy about them), and some make-shift towel sarapes. i love how this is just normal for my parents. i also love how my children are still present even though they are not physically in the picture. my daughter hung up a “skyfall” poster on the wall and is responsible for making name placards for the table (all on her own). and of course, i see my son in the batman placemat! so, while this particular picture might not be my “best” work, it really means a lot to me…and i’ll take that!

birthday brunch
love being able to spend the morning with one of my best friends to help celebrate her birthday- doesn’t hurt that we had incredibly yummy food as well!

lights of my life
while at the drug store, my mom guilt kicked in for only getting my kids one small box of chocolate each and a movie to share, so i broke down and bought them the pillows that light up…at least they make for neat pictures! chances are i’ll get guilted into buying them the blankets that go with it!

the anger bed
another controlled way of expressing his frustration…he decided he did not want to sleep in his bed, so he made one on the landing!

night out
my husband and i had the luxury of going to see a show and have dinner with my parents in san francisco…just a quick shot while walking to and fro!

that’s my wish!
my kids pointing out which wish is theirs in the fountain outside of church…just in case God missed the prayers inside the church!
