Try Waking Up to This...

I've been meaning to post this crazy summer story but kept forgetting. One morning this past summer, Cole woke me up at 6am saying "I cried and cried for you Mommy, but you wouldn't help me." When I opened my eyes this is what I saw. Of course I freaked out, jumping out of bed, thinking my poor kid was being attacked by something while I was sound asleep. Turns out he just had a bloody nose. But in that moment when you aren't quite awake, it's a rather terrifying experience.

Beautiful Mia

I can't believe I have such a beautiful daughter. Mia is so wonderful. I just wanted everyone to know that.

Wookie

Luke's nickname is "Wookie". Cole gave it to him. Not because he's super creative (although he really is creative), but because he has a hard time with the "L" sound. Anyway, the name kind of stuck. Wookie has three teeth now!

More Photos from the Wedding

Here are a few more photos I took at my sister's wedding

The Office Chair

Well, our office chair has bit the dust. It had been slowly falling apart for a couple of years now. Small pieces would fall off here and there. But last night it finally fell to pieces. Drew was the unfortunate one to experience its death. I just wish I could have seen it happen.

Photo of Mia

Here's the photos I took of Mia this morning before school.

Chandra's Wedding

These are some photos from my sister's wedding in August. I couldn't get over how hansome Cole looked in a suit. I'm tempted to make him wear it every day. :) The two black and white photos are going in my front room. I thought I'd give you a sneak peak. I still need to take a new one of Mia.
