Maybe you've noticed, maybe you haven't....the blog has gotten a makeover! I'm so excited for this fresh new look-it's got my favorite colors (minus coral, I didn't want to totally match Ava's nursery), some new features, and a sleek new design.

we had ourselves a merry little Disneyland trip…

...I'll keep it brief, but that's where we were this past week-living it up in Disneyland. It was a much better trip than our October trip for various reasons:*Charlotte is down to her one afternoon nap which made it easier!*Sadie was in tip top shape (not slightly sick) *It snowed every night! (well, foamed bubbles...but still. It was pretty … [Read more...]

You know those vacations that you need a vacation from when you get home? This was one of those. The girls had their issues with sleeping and eating, but we still managed to have a lot of fun together! I'll spare you from the rundown, but here's a few of my favorite pics! This is the best shot I got of the two of them in their dresses. Yep, they … [Read more...]

Alrighty then…

We're halfway (almost) through our Disneyland trip! Yesterday we ( Rory, Sadie, me, and Rory's mom) left around 7 in the morning and got here around 12:30 or oneish. Sadie is such a trooper. She napped a little bit in the car but still did great. We went into the park and headed straight for Tomorrowland to meet Rory's sister Mandy and her kids … [Read more...]

Phew!

So, we took off Wednesday morning around eight (we actually got off on time!), and started the what was supposed to be 9 hour trip, but really was 13 and a half. We took some stops, of course for Sadie, but also for Harry and David! They have a big store up in Medford Oregon that we had to stop at! I worked at the store here in Gilroy for two years … [Read more...]
