Making Me Laugh on the Reg

This kid has such a funny sense of humor. She seems to come by it so naturally too. She makes it way too difficult to get mad - she already knows to use her jokes against us. Oh, boy - we're screwed.

Gymnastics

After attending a gymnastics birthday party for one of Mattie's little friends, I was convinced she needed to be involved in the sport.  She was fearless (and reckless) and was so enthusiastic about everything she did - bars, rings, beam, trampoline - everything.

I signed her up for the Tumbling Tots class which she attends on Saturdays for 45 minutes.  We went for our second time today and we both had a blast.  She is so excited now as Saturday approaches and it's a bonus that her best little buddy from school, Harper, also participates.

Here is our future Olympian (ha) in action...

Productivity Feels So Good

Until just a few days ago, I was TWO YEARS behind on the family photo books I started after Evan was born.  This was one of those projects I vowed to continue in an effort to preserve memories and to make use of the thousands of pictures I take.  Of course I got a little off track.

I was so proud of the first two I made simply because we actually had pictures to look at in print and not on the computer.  The second book I made ended with Evan's 2nd birthday party and the announcement of Mattie Jane's due date that following October.  Let's just say after Mattie was born I got bogged down in Mommy duties that following year.  Once I allowed myself to be one year behind, I became overwhelmed and let yet another year sneak by me.  It's a vicious cycle - what can I say?

The last couple of breaks I've had from school, I kept promising myself I would take some time to get these photo books complete and up-to-date.  Unfortunately, vacations and holidays got in the way, and I should just confess that I am the world's WORST procrastinator.  But...I am happy to say that I finally completed the task at hand!

Let me proudly introduce...
