The day couldn't have been more perfect! The girls were in great moods. BOTH of them! I only had to raise my voice once while getting them ready. (That's a huge win for me!) We weren't rushing around. Monster put on her own shoes, without a fuss AND on the right feet! Aunt Tiff pulled up, right [...]
4 years ago... ... my little Monster was just about 2 months old. Just a tiny little thing. I was learning how to be Mommy and spent my days snuggling swaddling and trying to remember what 8 hours of sleep felt like.

THIS. FACE. This adorable little face! This adorable little face just celebrated his first birthday this past weekend. (Wait till you see the party! Sooo cute!!)

When SuperDAD walked in and asked me what "ALL THAT CARDBOARD" was in the trunk of the car for I wasn't sure how to answer. I knew he'd think my inner Craft Hoarder got the better of me... AGAIN!!!
