Mixed Prints Life

We are getting a BRAND NEW camera (FINALLY). Our old one broke, we’ve been using Cathy’s since July, and I wanted to take things to the next level with removable lenses. We ended up getting a KILLER deal on a Nikon D3000 – w00t! Should arrive this week….and hopefully, the closed-eye-flash shots should cease…

Charlie, You are a constant reminder of God’s grace on this earth, of his lasting love for us, and the blessings He wants for this life. In every way, I see you as THE single most important task for the rest of my life (until we add on!!) In each smile, cry, giggle, and tantrum, I thank Him. Where has… View Post

Charlie had quite the date night with his Auntie Sarai! She entertained him, made him laugh, he made her laugh and she’s GENUINELY the FIRST person that he has performed his comedy routine for. She did such a great job with him (despite the poop incident). After laying him down, he peeped and she immediately removed and coddled him. That’s… View Post

The meal included bread-crumb-coated green beans, homemade mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole (YUM!), and grilled pork tenderloin. Jessica made cornbread (w00t) and Sara topped it off with Carrot Bars (Very delicious – like carrot… View Post

After the recent debacle with avocado in which Charlie *for the first time ever* turned his head to food, we decided to try something as equally green….kiwi! At first he didn’t like it, but he eventually came around to its sweetness… First reaction

Apart from our anniversary, Jim and I rarely have “date” nights. We consider every night a date night (har, har). Anywho… Missy and Izabela came over today to offer us a little bit of time to ourselves and agreed to take charge of our little guy – as with most others, Charlie immediately gravitated towards them. He is a people… View Post

This post will be heavy with pictures…all in all, a great time was had by all and Charlie and Jim got recognized many times on the street! With a quick stop at Auntie Sarai and Ryan’s, Grandma and Grandpa’s, Auntie Missy’s, and Momma and Poppy’s, we were covered in candy! Can hardly wait to start planning next year’s costume(s)!

The tradition of cupcakes and suzy-q’s continued and Charlie even got to try some suzy-q! He LOVED it! He also loved watching the candles waver as Daddy (and he) sang to me.Charlie and Daddy continued with the past, present and future theme – The Office, Season 5 on DVD, a Food Grinder attachment for my KitchenAid Mixer, and the rest… View Post
