Proud Mom

 ...of a funny little girl who loves muffins as much as her mama does. Yes, that was lunch.

 ...of a brother and a sister who are already bonding and will hopefully be friends their whole lives.

 

...of a little fashionista who has no idea how cute she is.  Or does she?  She really does walk around wearing those sunglasses.

 ...of a handsome little guy who has already proven that he's a fighter (and maybe a troublemaker).

 ...of two beautiful blessings who fill me with joy (and sometimes make me crazy) and are gifts beyond what I could have asked for.  (And they obviously were thrilled to be in this picture with me)

And proud wife of an amazing husband who stands beside me, is willing to take on challenges, helps me relax, and tries to take whatever burdens from me that he can.

 
Happy Mother's Day

(Inspired by a friend's blog, I decided to do my own post)

Small Town

My aunt has been after me to treat myself to a pedicure and Josh was enthusiastically agreeing.  So Saturday I called up a new place and made an appointment.  I usually just walk-in for things like this because I'm not the sort of girl who schedules a pedicure ahead of time.  It's usually like "when I get a chance I'll run in."  But I did this time.  I left my husband with both kids.  They were both sleeping when I left and actually stayed asleep almost the whole time.  Lucky guy.  Someday soon he will experience the circus of two kids actually awake at the same time. 

Anyways, when I met the nail tech who I had the appointment with she said, "You look familiar."  It turns out she is the mother of my sister-in-law's brother-in-law.  Yup.  Josh's brother's wife's sister's husband's mother.  She remembered me from the wedding where I was taking pictures. 

Kerrville sometimes is a very small town.  And she did a great pedicure.
