Fall leaves, festive Halloween crafts, and a freebie

October 19, 2009

Aaaaand……I’m back! We’ve had the sniffles and more at our house the past week, including a trip with Annie to Primary Children’s ER (she ended up with viral respiratory infection and improved greatly after a nebulizer treatment and suction) so life has definitely not been boring.

I’ve finally gone through the pictures from Brandon’s birthday celebrations–quite a task! I’ve narrowed it down but this is still a long picture-y post. I mean LONG.

Annie-isms

February 21, 2008

Oh, Miss Annie Jayne. She is in the full-blown “terrific/terrible twos” stage of life–totally sweet and delightful and then….. ….beastly devilishly grumpy the next moment.
