Announcing Baby Sage

All Heart

they tell me that this sweet little boy only has half a heart, but you'd never know it from the outside.

this picture says to me, you can cut me open and stick with your tubes, but i'm still gonna have fat cheeks and placid eyes.

he's scheduled for his next big surgery in just a few days and i'm sure baby ethan wouldn't mind just a few more prayers.

Bury My Heart at the Trailer Park

I love this trailer park sign in Pine, AZ. Unlike the nearby Golden Acres Mobile Manor, a "manufactured home and recreational vehicle community," this place requires no euphemisms. We're a plain ole trailer park and proud of it.

I'm not mocking, it is a nice trailer park. I'd live there myself, if it wasn't for the crotchety lady, who I assume was managerial staff, who chased us off their lawn by turning on the sprinklers.

Pipe Dreams

I have had a long standing pipe dream of becoming a fantastic photographer someday. Sometimes my family and friends indulge me in this fantasy and let me make-believe I am. So, I did this "photo shoot" a couple days ago showcasing these girls' mommies' crafts: the tutus-by Heather, the jewelry-by Annie, the hair accessories-by Chunky Monkey, and of course the gorgeous hair-by Paris Layne Salon. I think some of the photos came out pretty super cute, but I can't take all the credit, it was my subjects who made it so easy.

Open House

My sister's salon is having an open house tomorrow and you should come! She does a fantastic job and will give you more bang for your buck, if you know what I mean. [Get it? Bangs.]
