A Dynamic Duo Returns?


Favre & Madden
What are the chances we can get both of these lovely men out of retirement? It looks like they both are enjoying their honeymoon and time off... but the "itch" should be just around the corner...!

Here Comes The Sun?

The Stars Are Ours Tonight!




The weather is getting nicer and the kids have wanted to "CAMPOLINE" for the last year or two. We finally had a beautiful night and Todd agreed to take on the challenge of sleeping outdoors on the trampoline. It was a crisp, chilly evening with lows in the 30's... but the sky was beautiful and the stars were bright. All the kids were game for the adventure... even the youngest of our crew.

By 2AM Mamma was lonely and went to retrieve the smallest of the group and bring her inside for some snuggle time for the rest of the night... Lovie didn't seem to notice the change in surroundings but was eager to get outside first thing in the morning.

What a great little adventure everyone had outside on the Campoline! Enjoy the photos...

When I look at these pictures all I can think of is the song by The Nylons....

The Stars Are Ours Tonight...

The stars are ours tonight
They sparkle and shine so bright
Because
you're mine tonight
The stars are ours
The moon that's up in the sky
Is shining for you and i
Because you're mine tonight
The stars are
ours

Pure Indulgence...


Here's a picture that when I saw it... my immediate thought was... "My Cup Runneth Over".... Little Lovie loves her pettiskirts (as does Little Lovie's Mamma...) We have a couple that are just fantastically adorable.... Is there anything more girly and fun then twirling about with yards and yards of gorgeous, fluffy, billowy, chiffon swinging by your sides?

Maya's pettiskirts are a perfect metaphor for her life.... She seems to be living a life that is so full, joy overflowing, and just bursting at the seams. Dreams are made... No cares in the world, pure sweetness and delight. When I see her face light up as she pulls on her skirts... I am just plain happy.

So... I try to offer her this complete indulgence at her whim...Although it seems that Maya Quinn never fails in wanting to wear her pettis at some of the most inopportune times... Let's just say that 45 yards of chiffon does not easily work well with a 5 point harness...

I guess that's wear the fairytale begins to fade... Either way, I hope Maya never stops dancing...
