Mema and Pepa sent us to see Planes in the movie theatres, the fanciest movie theatre I've ever seen no less. Popcorn and candy and us letting Ever bring his DD pretty much made for the perfect movie experience. Thanks M&P!We went to the Met. I was kind of bugged when I realized that the boys all dressed to match in Stanford gear and didn't invite me to be in their club. I need a daughter something fierce. However, I realized that I...
I hope everyone knew that it was National Waffle Day on Saturday. Did you know? I really hope you celebrated hard core. I'm all about holidays, and make it a holiday surrounding food and I'm the biggest ever fan! So naturally our Waffle Day was amazing. {During T's good night prayers he thanked Heavenly Father for letting it be "International Waffle Day"--yep, it was that good!} Mostly it was fabulous because the food...
I had one of those moments this afternoon. Thank goodness for those sacred moments, every one. I saw two beautiful, impressionable little boys sitting on the steps of a brownstone of an incredible tree-lined street. It was mostly quiet, with just a whisper of traffic and the weather was warm, with a spit of humidity. These boys were busy blowing bubbles, calm and content in the moment. Puppies passed with a pat on the head....
I haven't talked much about heart stuff lately. Frankly, I don't have much to talk about. Heart disease is so normal to our family now that I sometimes forget that it's not everyone's normal. Plus, Everett is doing awesome lately (phew) and I might as well not worry about future children's hearts until we are blessed with future children (ha, sounds easy, right?) That being said, there are moments that I'm reminded of Everett's special...
Since we were already downtown for Jim's {kind of} first day of work, we decided to make a morning of it and explore. Our first stop was the Brooklyn Bridge, which really is just as awesome every single time we go. Unfortunately, the blisters on my feet were the size of Texas by this point (and it was only 10 am, darn big feet) so we walked halfway to Brooklyn, and then turned and walked back. Talmage really wanted to see the Statue of Liberty...
I've forced James into first day of school pictures for as long as we've been married. But now that he's done for school forever (I keep reminding him what that means....forever, like never going back, like don't even think about an MD, PhD, MBA or any other crazy letter combination, like we are totally donesies) I will just start taking first day of work pictures! I know how much he loves first day pics ;) Today was not his official...
The Big Wig's signed us up for Harry and David's fruit-of-the-month club, and we're all pretty stoked about it! Every month for the next year fresh, in-season fruit with be delivered straight to our door. This month was peaches, and oh how we've loved those peaches. We've eaten peaches and cream oatmeal, yogurt parfaits and peach-packed Swedish pancakes. I can already tell that this fruit-of-the-month club is going to be delicious!...
On Saturday we walked to Pier 1 on the Hudson River to fly kites and have fun. Riverside Park was holding a special kite-making and kite-flying event and we were flying high at the opportunity to attend.We got there at just the right time because the sky was already filled with beautiful homemade kites. Once we saw all the kids flying their work, we really got excited.The boys (all 3 of them) colored the kites and they looked fabulous. Evie had a...
