Trip to the South Getty

We got a water bug!

Finally back at home, enjoying the wood floors

Lovin' the back yard sun

Back at the beach, Yachats

This girl's a beach baby!



First day of rain ... she loved it!

Eat fat, be thin

Holy canoli it's been 20 days since I've posted. The transition to being a stay-at-home-mama while the hubby goes back to school has added a bit of chaos to our schedule. As has starting another blog, which I'm super excited about and a bit overwhelmed by. But I had to post a quick link to this Register Guard article. Yea for Linda Prout! I'm glad the word is getting out!

Summer pics are coming soon! Stay tuned!

Day 3

It's Day 3 of my new stay-at-home motherhood. It has not been without internal conflict. While I am truly happy with my decision, I also miss my teaching job. But here's a few beautiful things I would have missed were I at school - Riley laying her head on my slipper for a little snuggle when she got tired because the fabric feels like her sleeping blanket. Her putting tennis balls under the couch because she thought it was hilarious when I put my head to the ground to look for them. Her tickling my feet when she wanted attention. These lovely little things make me quickly forget about my 6th graders, who, while amazing people, are much less adorable then my little 14-month-old. It's been a gift to be with her so much lately. Love her!
