today i felt like blogging...

so there. i don't really have much to say. i have the best of intentions to one day really update this silly blog. we'll see. not because anyone else cares, but because (other than images) it is the only record i have of the last five years of our lives. i feel a certain sense of duty to put it all somewhere.

until then, here is a photo of my favorite two-year-old.

testing...

ummm, hi. it's me. not sure there is still anyone out there.

this is really for charise (and anyone else who might actually see it.) love you.

xoxo,

marce

ps: i'd rather be home, with this guy, than at work. so there.

arrrgh, etc...

yes, i know. this is a slight case of picture overload, but i just couldn't help myself. brom took these pictures of oli on sunday and i just can't help but smile. hope they do the same for you.

whoosh...

today my monkey is eight months old. love him more each and every day. happy birthday (of sorts) to my little man. he is crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything. VERY active and quite precocious. he is sweet, smart, hilarious and thoughtful. he talks quietly to himself and very loudly to the rest of us. he has more personality in his itty-bitty body that any adult i know. did i mention that i love him? well, i do. so there.

sunday...

my ever-charming grandmother turned 85 yesterday, and celebrate we did. family gathered at my mom and dad's to honor one of the finest women i know. thank you for always being a perfect example of kindness and generosity. we love you.

my cousin snappped these two shots without us knowing. thanks for being so sneaky.

ps...

we went to swiss days with the fam over the weekend. used to be a yearly tradition that got away from us. it was fun to go back and get a little nostalgic. oli had a ball. he loved the crowd, was enthralled with balloons and against my better judgement, had a taste of his first tigersblood snocone. what can i say? too delicious to deprive him. good swiss times.
