Birthday weekend!

(I’m kind of making Uncle Jesse eyes by accident in this snap!) February is the worst month in the union, so if my birthday wasn’t in Feb, I would have nothing to do with it. So, yeah! It’s my birthday tomorrow! Hooray! Have a good weekend.

The Piper Janes.

Almost a year ago, I got an email from the cool people behind See Kai Run saying they wanted to name a pair of shoes after my Piper Jane! They noticed that the majority of Pip’s shoedrobe is from See Kai Run, and that’s what you do for your VIP clients…you name a shoe or [...]

5 years party time excellent. woooo!

It’s been 5 years since Jake and I ran off to Vegas for a wild (it wasn’t that wild) and wonderful semi-elopement. In 5 years there hasn’t been a dull (good dull and bad dull) moment, and I’m proud that we still love each other so much. Even though there is some seriously hard crap [...]

Walking in on Piperjane.

My favorite part of my Pip visits is the moment I first walk in. I usually kind of sneak in quietly to see what Piperjane is up to before she knows she’s being watched. I often find her in funny positions, playing with her figures or climbing things that aren’t meant to be climbed. It [...]

Things the Burgler Took/Didn’t Take.

To help us cope with the aftermath of insecurities since being burgled (at least they gave us a funny word to use!), Jake and I have created a little game called “Things the burglar took/didn’t take”. Basically we don’t look for anything anymore. If it isn’t in our vision the second we need it, it [...]

Piper Jane’s friend Abby

I don’t know if I’ve told you about this cute wee girl before, but little Abby is awesome. Abby is just over a year old and has CCMS just like Pip. In the early weeks of her life, I spoke with her mom, Julie, on the phone. Aside from facebook, we don’t contact each other [...]

Casette

My friend, Seth Smoot (husband of my good friend Kendra) is working on a really cool documentary about the Casette Tape. He and Zack Taylor have a kick starter in hopes to raise enough money to make the entire film. Check out their kickstarter video below, and please donate to their project! They only have [...]

Piperjane and the Christmas concert.

I’m finally able to talk about the Christmas concert without crying. Not to sound all pitiful, but it was very disappointing. It’s just that I was so excited to take Piperjane to it. I envisioned her “getting” it and enjoying the music. I got giddy imagining us dancing to the songs and smiling at all [...]

my real live Glee experience.

I wouldn’t call myself a “Gleek”, but I do watch the show now and then. It’s fun, I sing along and I love the cheerios. Especially Britney and Santana. That little bleached thing top right was me just 10 years ago! So this week’s episode, the Glee coach (I doubt he is called a coach, [...]

Adorable in ridiculous proportions.

Adorable part 1- Piperjane carrying around a figurine at all times. Nothing new, but cute as ever. Adorable part 2-This swinging game that Jake and Pipsey do together. Everyone within a ten mile radius feels the happiness she radiates, I’m sure of it. Adorable Part 3-The smile on Piperjane’s face when I showed up to [...]
