Good Shit....

This is really amazing.....life should be filled with colorful plastic pieces. Brilliant!!

Roo Roo

She turned 7 months yesterday!! She got two teeth last week. She says Mama and Dada and sits all on her own. When Ruby is excited, she kicks her legs, squeeks, grabs and scratches! She's so mellow and can be pretty intense. She's always known how to tell us what she doesn't like. She still likes her feet bare. We'll see what happens when the winter comes.
I have so much to say about my little one. I just don't know how to put my beating heart into words. I've always told Ava that she taught me how to be a mommy, Ruby has taught me how enjoy every little moment of it. I love my girls......I love'em!

Bye Bye Summer

We had a good one. It was our first summer with out two girls. We did a little bit of traveling, a few beach trips, and lots of nesting in our home. We didn't make it camping, maybe next summer. At the end of summer, Ruby turned six months and Ava turned four. I never like the growing up part. I feel like Ava was a baby last week. Ava was a month short of turning three here. She tells me she wants to be an "actress". She does love the camera!

They're Candy

They are bright, colorful and yummy. Ruby is very lucky that Ava is her big sister. I've never seen a bigger fan.

New Doo

I saw this haircut a year ago in an anthropologie catalog. I didn't have a good hair stylist and she couldn't imagine leaving the front pieces a good six inches longer than the back. I finally found someone who can see outside of the box. I like it.

Butterfly

It was graduation day for the four year olds. Next year, Ava will be graduating. I can't believe how fast the years have flown by. Babies just aren't babies long enough.

Family Bed

Life has changed me. I never saw myself as alternative when it came to children. I never thought our kids would end up in progressive schools. I never knew that motherhood would zap me with such shocking love that I would turn green. I have learned so much over the last few years. I have made wonderful friends. I have learned how to pull out my creativity while being a mama first. I love my family, I love my life, I just wish there was more room on the bed......
