Can You Guess…

what these three photos have in common?

No, it’s not that Jillian is in them all. That would be silly.

Need a hint? Ok, here’s one…

This picture has the exact, same thing in common. Give up? Ok, these four snapshots were all taken by none other than…

our resident TWO-YEAR-OLD Chompy!! Can you believe it?!

Pretty good–wouldn’t you say? I think she should win a prize or something.

Especially since I just learned how to use a digital camera three years ago.

Please don’t tell anyone I said that.

Happy Birthday Jenny!

Third Grade Ricky

I grew up in Los Angeles back in the old days when the girls wore dresses and milk was 5 cents and everyone sat at big tables instead of desks and classes were big and we had no idea that we should be unhappy about it. I remember sitting at the table and being able to perfectly swing my leg out and kick the kid in front of me…at will.  Now, sincerely–I have no idea why I would do such a thing, because I was not a mean kid at ALL. But he was a funny guy and whenever I would whack him in the leg, he would jump and make a really–on purpose–goofy face, and bust up laughing. As a kid, I think I believed that somehow, we were, you know– playing. But now, a million years later, I’m pretty sure he was just a nice boy, who should have told me to quit it or he’d punch me in the head…but he didn’t. Shame on that silly little girl.

Anyway, I’ve always felt bad about that, and wished that I could fix it. I’d go back in time and UN-kick him about a hundred times. And so I say to the universe, “Ricky if your poor leg has healed after all these years and you don’t hate the very idea of me and if you ever just happen to read my blog and find this post–I want you to know that I have been really sorry for about 42 years that I ever-ever kicked you, and if I could I’d give you a huge bag of Cheetos and a million dollars to prove it…if I only could.

And we’d be friends.

Things To Love…

The covert, aspiring photographer we have at our place.

Reconnecting with my best friend- “Berni” after a few months.

The new love of my life at the Sweet Tooth Fairy. Holy smokes.

The latest pirate girl fashion.

Chompy’s new pals–Caillou and Gilbert.

My first taste of “Hoppin’ John,” a great New Year’s dish of black-eyed peas, rice and ham. Dang fine.

Finishing all the paperwork. Now please, please everyone pray that the new passport gets here in time for the Bald Kid to enter the MTC–or he’ll be set back about 6 weeks!

Beloved batter fingers–any day of the week.

What about you? What do you love today?

Parting With the Tree

A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from our lives.

A simple, special, memorable moment.

A moment I want to pause, savor and keep close to my heart.

Happy winter weekend my friends!
