For all those who come to this happy place, Welcome!

He's such a little rogue. I LOVE this picture - she wanted to wear her tap shoes and I love how her toes are pointed. I never get over how long this baby's hair is. This is my favorite one of James, it's genuine and sweet, but you can still see the mischief in his eyes. This girl just gets prettier every year. She is everything I always wanted to be, but never was. This is my favorite of Abbey. She looks a little pouty, I don't know why she always gets what she wants. He is either bare foot or a flipflop boy, he takes after me - our feet can't breathe in shoes. She didn't want her hair flat ironed but obliged me this once. I love it when she poses. This baby is just pure joy. She has been a blessing to this family, as cheesy as that sounds - she brings out the best in us and we do everything we can to make her smile. The lighting & coloring is not typical in this picture. It reminds me of a picture from my moms yearbook in the 70...

I had to share this clip. Abbey & I had a similar moment yesterday after leaving Fresh & Easy. Abbey had my keys in her hand and I returned my shopping cart congratulating myself on what a responsible citizen I was, only to star cursing a moment later as I realized I had closed the drivers side door. Luckily before I hit "crazy parent running with a garbage can" mode I heard a click (Abbey was still playing with the keys) and the nightmare ended before anyone "could start judging me" (great line) - This show is pretty funny. It reminds me of my own crazy family.
