I just love you,

My Trough Runneth Over

Thanks to Annie I've been addicted to these for over 11 years. I've waited for a very long time for them to be available here in the States.



I'd like to thank Oprah and Target. Today I found....

The're here! This is one of the best days of the year...after the birth of Thomas and Minnie's baptism of course (I do have my priorities straight). Excuse me while I wipe the chocolate off my face. I guess that baby weight won't be coming off any time soon.

Time to Condition

Holy Hair!

Blessed

Last week we blessed our Thomas. What a blessing he is. We are grateful for him and for family and friends who traveled near and far to share this occasion with us.

Because We Can...We Did

Fun Aunt Heidi came for a visit. Nana showed up too. Then came our cousins from the east. It was a crazy time. Ten kids will do that.

Review

Are you kidding me?

Happy Belated Halloween

A week later and we are finally recovering. The candy has been consumed (mostly by Jack... and me). The costumes and decorations put away. I think Pumpkin, Jack Sparrow, Cheerleader, Little Red Riding Hood and Indiana Jones would agree...it was a sweet day.

Growing Up

As of yesterday Thomas is one month old. His skin is breaking out. Growing up is a real drag.

I still think he is adorable. Zits and all.

Buried Alive

This is one half of the laundry I did today. Notice the screaming baby. He's thinking, "enough already". I couldn't agree more. Now it's time to put it away. This Mommy needs sleep!

A Decade

Ten years ago, on this day, I looked like this... Three hours later I was handed this... I have been a Mother for a decade. Happy 10th Birthday Adam. You have been a wonderful gift.

Don't Mess With the Pants

When Justin was 12 years old he lived in Arizona. He played baseball. His team was called "McCain's Navy". Can you guess who sponsored the team? The "sponsor" purchased the team shirts (see the picture below), but declined to buy the team pants (J's mom took pity and kindly supplied pants for the team). Some may say the sponsor was being frugal. Justin will tell you the sponsor was just being cheap. Apparently, after waiting 25 years, Justin is ready to make the "sponsor" pay. That's right McCain...you most likely lost a vote. J is moving to the Dark Side.

It's a...

BOY!

Thomas Richard Bird was born September 25th at 4:07 am. The labor and delivery went amazingly well...the best yet. He weighed in at 8 lbs. 8 oz. making him our largest baby Bird. He already has quite a few people wrapped around his very long little finger (this kid is all hands and feet). The boys are happy to outnumber the girls. The girls are happy to have a baby doll to play with. We just love him!

Adam...a Series of Self-Portraits

We don't ask questions. We just sit back and enjoy.

Minnie Is Official

We had a great Saturday. Nana and Papa came with our cousins from the east for a quick trip to the beach and a beautiful baptism. It was a perfect day.
