Flowers

The other night we went outside after dinner and the Genius introduced the Professor to his first flower.  It was very sweet and he enjoyed it.  Eventually the flower ended up being removed from his mouth. LOL!

Two Years

Moms never forget.  Even when we wish we could.  But two years ago tonight the Genius was in having her emergency surgery.  (Read the story here).
  I am just so thankful it all ended well and that she is here with us.  Snuggling with her tonight during family devotions just felt extra precious.

So....what is the Professor up to?

Hmmm, looks like he is hiding something.  Wonder what it could be?

Why, it is his sisters cereal!!!!

Dollar Deals

I love, love, love garage sales!  Today we spent $18 and here is what we got......
2 of the BIG rubbermaid containers FULL of clothing for this fall/winter for our 3 kids.  Included are some Gymboree, Old Navy, Gap, Carters, Children's Place, Tommy Hilfiger and more!  Some of them still had the tags on too.  These are nice clothes.  It was a mix of jeans, pants, dresses, pjs, jackets, winter coat for the Professor, rain jackets for the girls, shoes etc.  For my husband we got a new razor (electric), a pair of bicycle shorts (new they are about $50), 2 dress shirts (Izod), a new suit, a Nike jacket and a Columbia jacket.  I scored big for myself!  I got an almost new Liz Claiborne DOWN-FILLED winter coat.  It is so soft, comfy and warm!  I also found a nice dress coat, a nice fuzzy jacket, about 10 shirts and 5 pairs of shoes.  In my stash I had Anne Klein, Tommy, Aeropastle, MUDD, Gap and more!  I also scored two vintage (but BRAND NEW looking) vintage suitcases for the girls!

Our D.I.Y Girl

We got the Genius her first set of real took for her birthday and a little bird house kit she can put together.  She was thrilled! We got these pics of her trying on her tool belt for size.  She is a cutie!
