About Me

My photo
This is my "snapshot scrapbook" of our daily doings for my children and family. I hope to preserve the "everyday" for my children and for us so that we can always read it and remember.

Sawyer, age 4.5

My precious Sawyer is getting so big as she approaches Pre-K! She is busy this summer taking Spanish and soccer lessons at preschool, swim classes and creating all sorts of art and fun at home. She is still our precious baby Kitty Cat and loves to pretend, direct play and imagine.

The Tank

This is my little man at 11mos giving himself his bottle right before bed. He looks ENORMOUS in this picture and I am so glad that I asked Lee to take this shot so I can see what we look like as I tote him around. He still feels quite small and cuddly to me most of the time. I can't believe his first year has come and gone!

Sullivan La exploradora

Can you make out the teeny tiny little baby lizard that she has caught??? She has become quite the catcher of many reptiles this summer. Lizard or frog or toad beware! Sullivan can get you ever so quick!

San Diego

 On the pedicab in the Gaslamp district.
 Our anniversary night dinner at Searsucker restaurant.

During June 17-21 Lee and I were able to go to San Diego for a shoulder arthroscopy course and to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary on June 18. It was truly a second honeymoon and we had four slow days and wonderful nights of long, relaxed meals at fabulous restaurants. I enjoyed exercising, walking, breakfast in bed, and reading and drinking coffee for hours at a time. Lee learned lots during the course and also got downtime to run, read and drink lots of coffee. It was a perfect getaway for us and I am so thankful that we were able to go!

Library Time

This is our typical scene these days. The girls find something interesting and Greer saddles up to get in the mix. Here this library computer shot captures it well. Very sweet, very busy.

Quick shots

 Dad feeds Greer homemade peach ice cream. Greer loved it.
 Sawyer takes our selfie! :) And below Sawyer snaps a moment in time of me with Greer. This is probably one I should delete, but somehow it captures right where we are and I want Greer to know what this looked like.

Fourth of July


Fly that flag!

 Family ping pong time.
 Right now, this is how we stroll.
Above, Daddy took Sawyer on the Seadoo at the lake on the 3rd as we visited family!  We have had a great early July this far! I have been out of touch as my BlogPress app has failed me on my iPhone. I don't know why it isn't loading, but without that app, it is hard for me to blog! Above are some recent photos from our times at home around the fourth and at the lake with Lee's mother's family on the 3rd. We are trying to beat the heat and stay in much of the time. We can hardly believe Greer is almost one!!!
