New camera, ballet and melting a momma's heart

We have a new camera! yay! I have a lot to learn but so far so good! Keeping it VERY FAR from Logan! :)



My friend Katie and I took Olivia and Hannah to see the Nutcracker Ballet yesterday. The dancers were AMAZING!!! Olivia loved the girls but seemed pretty distracted and fidgety, come to find out she had a temp of 101 when we got home. :( but she is good today! It amazes me how fast kids bounce back.


Logan's new best friend. We take him just about everywhere. Along with Rebecca. {sigh}
This is quite possibly my favorite picture of my Logan. A BIG BIG smile that melts me every time. Almost makes me forget the boundary-testing going on these days. Almost. Nope I remember. But God is good, and once a challenging phase is over He helps me forget. I LOVE you bub, and I am SOOOO going to remind you of how you run to your room and slam the door when you get in trouble. :) I'm sure it will be so cute when I am recalling it to your children, but right now? Not so cute. So quit it.

Making ornaments for our tree. Olivia and Logan LOVE to do crafts. We have been purchasing the buckets of holiday craft stickers from my favorite store, that I try to stay away from ,that starts with a T. It is a really fun crafting time and it is a good way to fill our challenging time of the day 5-7pm, however, my vacuum is entirely overworked and starting to rebel. I bet when I change the bag I will find mountains of sticker papers.
By the way, I love how I put all of the effort to make my home look nice when people come over. When in all reality, I take a picture of my kids and you see the mountain of stuff that I never want anyone to see. Oh well, there you have it! what my counter REALLY looks like! A computer bag, lots of papers, bills, looks like a couple Bibles, more papers and I can't even decipher the rest. ugh. :)



Hugs from Indianapolis!

Congratulations on the new camera! I am the same way about trying to make my house look perfect when people come over but post pictures on my blog with my counters covered in clutter. Just so you know, I didn't even notice until you pointed it out, and then it just made my heart glad that there is somebody else out there like me. :)

Oh I LOVE the nutcracker! I remember seeing it for the first time in my early 20's and I thought I had slipped into fairy land:) What a fun memory with Olivia!

I love the photos and the fact that you went to the Nutcracker, that was a family tradition for us when I was growing up to go to Clowes Hall and see it! Happy New Year to You!
