My Violin

I wish I hadn't given up playing the violin. I watch those dancers on SYTYCD and wonder how some of them can get up on stage make a fool of themselves, hear the judges rip them apart and then smile to the camera and say, "I know I can dance! I'll never give up on my dream."
I wish I had something that I was that passionate about.

And speaking of SYTYCD, remember this guy? CRAZY!

Kids Frame

Babysitting project. We picked up a little Martha Stewart craft kit and made cute felt frames. Okay, okay I made them while Elle slept and I tried to teach Boss what an owl says and the difference between a whale and a fish. But if they were a little older I just know they would have loved them! At least I did.

An elephant also comes in the same kit for only $5 at Roberts.

Here Comes the Sun

Yay sunshine, nice of you to show up...finally!

Sad

D thinks it's mean that her frowny face makes me smile. It's just so cute all scrunched up. She looks like a little old Asian woman.

She was just sad we had to leave before they cut the wedding cake. "But mommy, I want some butter cream frosting!"

Memories

I lost something that means a lot to me. A camera. My little point and shoot. I was filming Elle and set it down when she tried to eat it, and haven't see it since. Sad is an understatement.

It holds the memory of her first time eating, first time rolling over, countless baths and mornings when she would wake up laughing and I would crawl on the floor and video her without her knowing. I know that I also hold these memories, but I loved watching them over and over and showing her grandparents. I always thought about the day that I would show them to her and say, "Look that's you!"
Meanwhile, I have looked everywhere and found $60, my Ipod, and our honeymoon photos. Glad to have these things back plus the J.Crew coat I spent the cash on (hey it was like free money), but I desperately want our camera back too. Sigh.

Alas, here are some of the honeymoon shots I found. We went to the Dominican Republic.

LOVE BIRDS

Not to be too cheese ball, just seems fitting for the occasion and the pic.

Tiger?

D's friend Darrin emailed us this look-a-like. I think it's pretty darn close, which leaves me thinking...they say it's bad to fantasize about other men, but does this count? Come here tiger! rrrawr.

Lately I've been wondering...

what the appropriate age to stop breast feeding is. Luckily, my darling friend Tiffany showed me this video. Question answered?

French Kissing in the USA

Elle had her first kiss this week! I think Crew may be her new BF. Sorry Boston, looks like Crew is taking after his dad and workin' the ladies. Crew went in for the open mouth kiss and then kept saying, "More, more." Elle was happy to oblige.
