Well, Spicy is having her (nearly) weekly slumber party at Mimi & Bapa’s house (I’m so spoiled!) It’s so clear that she has such a very very special bond with her grandparents. I think the fact that Mimi took care of her 3 days a week for nearly 2 years has something to do with… Continue Reading
Thanks to a college buddy’s, super cool blog, I got this idea for these photos (although, I know mine don’t look nearly as professional). I thought the basin/bath themed shots were just perfect given the following reasons: a) Sweet’s enjoyment for her baths has risen to a whole new level – (making bigger splashes than… Continue Reading

I’m proud to brag that our 3 year old now has power supply, motherboard, and hard drive as part of her… Continue Reading
Sorry, I can’t help it. I think it’s so fun to compare the babes at the same age to look for resemblance (or lack there of), especially in the same outfits!!! It’s curious how the clothing that I put on Genevieve really takes me back to when Alizea was the same age. A bit of… Continue Reading
I’m back! In the past week we were: -Away from home for a big slumber party providing the challenge opportunity of sleeping in tight quarters (by the way, it was much smoother than I anticipated giving me much hope and excitement for a future combined room for these 2): -Getting spoiled with plenty of love,… Continue Reading

ONE………………. TWO…………….. THREE!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Birthday Alizea Ann! Wow! I don’t even know where to begin…There is something different & very special about this year’s birthday! Perhaps, it’s because on your 1st birthday, daddy was away so mommy wasn’t completely focused on your milestone. I threw a huge party for you but selfishly because… Continue Reading
