Maybe she should've been Cinderella for Halloween instead?

One of these things IS like the other!

I think Mia and Sam are starting to look alike. What do YOU think??

It's not often I get a pic with ME in it!

Since I'm usually the one WITH the camera, I'm usually not the one in the pics. Thanks, Julie, for taking this one :)

And a bonus one of Mimi!

Cool like Daddy....

My Husband loves to put Sam in this onesie. I swear it's jinxed, though. Every time he wears it, I get peed on!

Can't think of a Good Title for This Post...

Here are two random pictures I took last night. Even though Mia is an easy going, happy kid, it's rare that I get a picture with a big ol' smile on her face. The lighting wasn't great (as we were in Sam's room and he was sleeping), but I still love 'em just the same.

Now I lay Me Down to Sleep...

There's nothing sweeter than this!

Sam-burger!

He's 4 weeks old tomorrow! Time flies, that is FOR SURE! Here is a pic I took of the little guy yesterday :).

Me and My Little Shadow...

I decided to participate in a "challenge" called "52 Weeks of My Kid(s) and I". The challenge is half over, but I decided to start now (hey, atleast I'll get atleast 26 weeks done, right?). Here is my first entry. It's Mimi and I (pardon that fact that my shadow looks like a penguin..hehe...I was taking the picture, so my arms were up, and the point at the top of my head is the camera lens) :).

And, as a bonus, here is another pic of the Mia-moto!

Do YOU think they look alike?

I've been told (about a billion times) that Mia looks like me. She has my Husband's hair coloring, and she's tall and slim like him, but everything else pretty much resembles me. Now, Mr. Sam is not even a month old, but I think he already looks like his Daddy. He's definitely a BOY, there's no doubt about that! A couple of people have told me that they think he looks like Mia, though.

So, you be the judge. Does he look like Mimi, or no?

The Fresh Part of Waking Up...

Nope, it's not FOLGERS!

This is my new (bad) habit. It all started with a $25 gift card. Now I can't stop! It's a Decaf Caffe Mocha Light for me, please and thank you (I'm only going to limit myself to one a week...two if I think I've been a really good girl!).


And here's the reason I NEED the coffee:

Will it be regular for you, or Decaf?

Mia and I were playing in her room yesterday. As she sipped and stirred her "coffee", I sat and waited for "my cup". When I asked her what flavor the coffee was, she said to me, "Mommy, it's DECAF. DECAF, with sugar!"

Good thing, girlfriend "drank" a lot of cups. Don't want her getting a coffee buzz!

This is when she told me which flavor it was:

And a bonus one of her and Phoebe!

There WereThree in the Family....

...that have birthdays this month. Ironically, they are all one day apart. (pictured below) My sister in law turned 29 yesterday (one year from 30, bwah, ha ha!), My father in law turns 69 tomorrow, and my Husband turned 28 today! Happy Birthday, Ya'll!

Here are a couple pics from their mini celebration :)

The crazy cake I made for my Husband. I put the fun in funfetti!

The Birthday Gang

Little Sam with his Uncle, his Papa, and his Daddy

Natural light

There is something that is just so fantastic about natural light. I took this picture yesterday at my Mother-in-law's house. It was just before a huge thunderstorm, and Mia propped herself up in the bay window. It is isn't often that I get (a) a picture of her sitting still and (b) smiling. Somehow, I managed to accomplish BOTH of these things!

And here is a picture of little Sam, in the same light (on Babci's shoulder)

Welcome to my blog!

I hope to use this a documentary. I thought it'd be a neat way to document what goes on in our daily life both in stories and in pictures! With that being said, here are a couple of my favorite photos from the past week. One of Mia (a little over 2 years old) , and one of Sam (who just turned 2 weeks!). And, of course, one with the kids and Daddy (who will be 28 in 2 days!)! :)
