my little beauty

My friend, Tara Painter, came to visit, and snapped these cute pictures of Mia to decorate her room with. Tara has a very artistic eye and did these pictures in seriously 3 minutes. Thanks a bunch! I'm excited to put them in some frames in her room. Have I mentioned how fun it is to have a girl?!

happy valentine's day

When I woke up this morning, I found my husband had gotten up much earlier and MADE this amazing fruit bouquet! What a sweetheart! He saw these advertised, and thought, "I could make that", and so he gave it a try. He said he even pulled out some very manly tools to do it (hacksaw, needle-nose plier, and wire cutters) I thought it looked FABULOUS! And the fruit was absolutely heavenly too--strawberries stuffed with white chocolate, pineapple, and cantelope. I love how thoughtful he is and willing to spend time to make me happy. I love you honey!!

mia's big girl room

With our next baby due to arrive in a few weeks, we decided that we should get rid of atleast one crib, so Mia was graduated to her big girl bed!! She affectionately calls this her "princess room", and just adores it. It's a work in progress, but it has been very fun thinking PINK lately. I'm going to love spoiling her in a household of boys. She has started to show her feminine side more and more lately, featuring the drawn-out emotional break-downs and drama, which I never experience with my boys. She sure is a girl!
