To Jolie, on your third birthday

My Jo Bug, You just turned three! You are so good at telling me how old you are, too. You say, “I am free yeaws owd.” very proudly, baby girl. I recently read the letter I wrote to you last year on your birthday and it’s amazing to me how much has changed! Let’s be honest, this…

Abby - This made me teary! What a little sweetheart, and hilarious too. Haha, Drew and his blocks! I love this post! Can’t wait to witness all these changes :)

Abby

jolie - I adore this. Being a mom makes it more meaningful to me, I think. You are a great mom Drea! My favorite parts: You peed in the potty Mommy! And her lamenting her bear’s fate when she throws him in anger. Hilarious.

Treat Yo Self ’13 : Part I

Last month, Drew and I left our kids with our parents, flew to California, stayed in four star hotels and ate out at every meal for TEN DAYS. Yes, I wrote that correctly. We were kidless in 65 degree weather in February for over a week. And so, we aptly named this trip “Treat Yo…

Abby Schiavello - Whaaaaat? How is your hair so long?? You have the fastest growing hair of all time. Looks like such a great trip. I’m excited to see more!

jolie - These pictures are fabulous! I especially like the adorable couple in all of them :)

kaley - I would literally kill a stranger for a breakfast burrito at Clayton’s. Jelly!!!

Tara - I love this! (just now catching up on some blog reading). And I agree with Kaley, loved me some clayton’s too. :)

Jolie Turns 2: The Video

Remember back in March when we threw Jolie a dinner for her second birthday and I said my friend Katie was coming to film it? She sent over the video this past week and it. is. ADORABLE. I know it’s been almost a year, but I’m sharing it anyway! Getting this video was the highlight…

2012 End of the Year Survey

This is such a great idea! I got it from here, who got it from here, who got it from a book. I think it’s a fun way to get to know someone a little better and it’ll be so fun for me to have down the road. I would honestly love to read yours,…

2012 in Review — A Survey and Hopes for the Future! « Graham Love - [...] eve, I thought it would be perfect to start with an “end of year survey” that I got here, and she got here, who got it there….who got it from a [...]

Elise - Thank you for being honest about your life :) I have had that comparison heart where I see Jolie as this perfect child, playing by herself, organizing toys, etc. It’s good to read that sometimes she makes your “blood boil” because we are getting into the two’s and Micah sometimes drives me crazy! I love him to death though.

Christmas Moments

This year, I want to remember these things: sitting in Christmas Eve service alone, Jolie playing like an angel, Rowen nursing under the cover…after getting both of the girls and myself ready for said service without Drew. One of my proudest evenings. Rowen falling asleep in my arms, peaceful as can be, right before we…

2012 Christmas Card

The only thing I truly pressure myself to do each year for the holidays is a Christmas card. Part of thinks that family cards are actually a little vain (do we all really want to know that much about your entire year?), but I do it any way. And if a recipient doesn’t care, that’s…
