White Flag

Well, I'm giving in, waving the white flag, crying uncle, surrendering. As you might have guessed over the past photo-less month, I've fallen off the wagon. I haven't been taking daily photos, and when I've attempted to, I haven't gotten them posted. I decided to admit defeat today, and when I logged in, I saw that it's been one month to the day since my last post. I actually thought it had been longer.

BUT! All is not lost! I have not given up completely, I'm just taking a break. This summer has been insanely busy, and honestly, more than that, I haven't been getting enough sleep, or enough GOOD sleep, thanks to Miss Mollie - whose FIRST BIRTHDAY is TODAY. Seriously. I'm shaking my head too. Where did the time go? She's a blessing and a gift and an amazingly special little addition to our family, and I *think* she's on a better sleep track. So who knows, maybe you'll be hearing from me again sooner rather than later.

Fingers crossed!

One Twenty Four

This week's theme: Fire (yeahhhhhh so I probably won't be sticking to that every day)

No fire here. Just some cute toddler toes in some fancy pink shoes. I love this photo of just her feet, but I had to post a full-body shot so you get the full effect. ;)

Well, this isn't really a habit, it's just Mollie playing outside. :)

This week's theme: Habits

So this isn't really a habit of mine, but tending to our super-cool garden has become a habit of Brad's. Here's our first watermelon! How teeny and cute is this?

This week's theme: Habits

One (good) habit that I have that I definitely stick to is taking my vitamins! :) Here's a bunch of my Vitamin C.

This week's theme: Habits

I'm desperately trying to get back into the habit of walking/jogging/running. And, hey, I've done a little over 20 miles in June. I'd say that's a pretty good start!

This week's theme: Habits (but sorry, no habits here)

OK so I messed up and posted this on the wrong day, but I'm too lazy to fix it. :)

Natalie and I went on a little Mommy-Daughter shopping trip on Saturday where she helped (and I use this term in just about the loosest possible sense of the word, but that's ok) me pick out some new shirts. I let her wear a necklace of mine with an "N" stamped on a silver disc and a little bead the color of her birthstone. I have a new necklace now with both girls' names, so I figure I'll give this one to her when she's a bit older. Let's just say she was more than a tad bit impressed with herself for getting to wear a REAL "neckisss" all day. :)

Well, this is a candid shot I captured of Natalie embodying a habit of mine . . . smelling/nuzzling Mollie's sweet little head. Mmmmm.

This week's theme: Habits (but not today)

OK wait, maybe habit is ok. I am definitely in the habit of practicing my skillz on any wonderful family member who will let me. (Thanks Big Little Bro, Carolyn, & Gav-Man!)

LOVE this photo! What a happy, gorgeous family . . . that is about to grow by one more lovely little soul!

Why, Miss Mollie Grace, of course!

I love this photo. She's standing all on her own! YAY Mollie! And how adorable is it that pretty much every time she succeeds, she claps for herself? haha!

Organization? I need more of it, but if I didn't have at least the amount that I have now, I don't know where I'd be!!

Oh irony of ironies (is that a word?). Please look away from the insanely messy desk below the pretty new shelves and storage boxes I made. Those papers flailing around with no place to be are just a figment of your imagination.

Um, Brad. Hello? He's at the top of my list (here seen hanging up shelves for me - see #115 for the finished product)! :)

This is our Media Center PC, which serves as our DVR. One of the greatest inventions EVER. Especially for parents! Please ignore the dust. And cords. And ugliness. And dust. Thank you!

OK I'm cheating. This wasn't taken ON the day. But it was close. :) This one was with my point & shoot and *gasp* the flash. I even got to play with some red-eye removal in PhotoShop. ;)

Theme? What theme?

So we were letting the girls play outside, and Natalie was getting all hot & sweaty. I realized that she didn't have any clips in to keep her bangs out of her eyes (we're growing them out), so I had her come in to get some. I had to check on something in the oven, and she went to her room. I thought she'd bring the clips out to me, but instead, this is how she came out. I thought she did a pretty good job for her first time! ;)

Uncle!

OK I'm crying, "UNCLE!" Whatever it is that actually means. I just know that's what they want the kid on A Christmas Story to say in evidence of surrender. I have not done very well with my daily photo-taking lately. So I'm going to work on posting what I have and then catching up tonight. I think. I'm pretty sure. :-P

But seriously, whether or not I get stuff posted tonight, I'm starting today getting back on the photo-taking-and-posting wagon. Yep yep!

I think I'll not pay as close attention to my weekly theme unless I really like the theme that week though. :)

Next week's theme: Things I Couldn't Live Without

Here is my beeeeeeeeeauuuuutiful hydrangea. It finally bloomed a ton this year, and I actually cut a bunch of blooms before they died so that we can enjoy them indoors! So here's before - and then two afters. ;) LOVE them!

This week's theme: Pets (but not today, or most days for that matter)

So this first shot is the one I would have posted, but I thought I'd post the second one so you could see Mollie's sweet face and get the full effect. Mollie :hearts: lasagna. :)
