Lucky me.

I could write all sorts of stuff about counting my blessings, and looking at those beautiful smiles every day of my life...but I'll just get to the point.

I. AM. ONE. HAPPY. GIRL.

I mean, SERIOUSLY happy.

Splish Splash

This is the most awesome water table ever!

I got this at Costco before we even got Kate's referral, just gambling that she would be of the age to appreciate it. Oh my goodness, does she ever! The water runs through the faucet without having to connect it to a hose, it comes with dishes and pans to "wash" and it is the perfect size for our deck. What's not too love...I mean, look at that little face!

I love this wall...

and these girls...







with every single ounce of my soul.

Too Much...

Well, I took a little vacay from blogger to tend to my new life as a working mother of two. I left you hanging, sorry about that. If it makes you feel any better, my camera USB cord broke, so nobody got to see any pictures, except for sorry little mobile phone photos like this...



Lots of wonderful things have happened in the past month, but it's just too much for one post...so here's a few of the highlights...



Kate is blessing our lives and brightening our days with her million watt smile. She's truly beautiful, inside and out. She's a little firecracker too.
S-P-U-N-K-Y. And oh, so sweet.



My brother is a proud new daddy of a little guy named Jack.



She's 4 now. My baby is growing up. Sniff. Sniff. She's really busy with lots of playtime with her cousins and her new friends at preschool, but thankfully, still drops everything for cuddle time with Mommy.

And finally, I get this...



and this...



plus, some new photo editing software, and a couple of accessories, like this...



Tomorrow. I'm stalking the UPS tracking site.


Life is good.
