Schultz Family

The Schultz's are one of my favorite little families on the planet! It's impossible not to like these guys, they are the nicest, most hilarious family ever. I love little Boston so much sometimes I forget that he's not actually my child.

Happy Halloween

Elle had a rough Halloween this year, but we tried our best to show her how fun it can be. Cool costumes and free candy, what more could you ask for?
Dwight, from the office, even showed up at my doorstep tonight. Well, it was a seven-year-old version of Dwight with some pretty cool parents because his costume was dead on.


D and Andy even got into the fun and choreographed this dance for work. They went as the Jabbawockeez! In case you can't recognize their sweet dance skills, D is the one on your far left in the front, and Andy is two over from him in the front.

A+D=Elle

We had our family pictures taken this weekend by a very talented friend and photographer, Erin Eichelberger. You know when you find that really great deal on that great pair of jeans and you run out and call all your friends? Well, I feel like Erin is that great pair of jeans.
If you need your fall or holiday family photos taken, I highly recommend her. She's fantastic and affordable. I don't love being in front of the camera, but she made it so fun and easy. I am thrilled with our family photos.

Check her site out here.

Goodbye summer

I made this little dress for Elle awhile ago
we walked over to the beach
and sat in the sand.
See you next year summer.

Elle & Asher

How romantic. This picture just kills me! I always wonder what she is thinking about.

Thornton Family

Ralph Lauren Baby's newest baby model. Well, he should be anyway. James is the most darling little preppy boy EVER.

Harvey Family

Lynda is a make-up artist. You can tell right? She is amazing and the camera loves those gorgeous green eyes of hers...I do too.

Purple Chair

I scored this chair at the DI today for 30 bucks.
And we are working on keeping both shoes on...not going so well.

ONE big celebration

We celebrated the big 1 this week.

We celebrated eating everything in sight.
We celebrated giving high fives and kisses to everyone she meets (even pictures on the wall)!
We celebrated five teeth and messy hair.
We celebrated the most joy we have ever felt.
We celebrated Elle.

Cambodian Ceremony

Two years ago today, D and I were given a traditional Cambodian blessing.

Three lovely Cambodian Ming's did my make-up and helped me get dressed three times throughout the ceremony. I've never been that pampered before.

A monk chanted a blessing in Cambodian while our family and friends tied strings of blessings around our wrists. It didn't even matter that I couldn't understand a word the monk was saying, it was really special to experience a piece of D's culture with him.
