We all had fun visiting with my college friends, and their husbands and babies this weekend. Everyone is a bit tuckered out this morning....such a sweet sleeping face.

Only a year ago today we were just getting used to the fact that we had a little boy in our lives and now I can't remember what we did before him. Parker laughed all day long today (even in his sleep). It was an infectious laugh that has absolutely made me forget how exhausting the last couple of weeks have been.

Parker is loving spring. He is definitely happiest when we're outside.

I love straight hair days. I always feel a little bit sassy.

ode to an old house

the wood trim may be beautiful
but my heart just isn't in it anymore
maybe it's the lack of sleep or
maybe all the sweat we've given it
probably, though, it's due to all of the water
that is now in our basement
the water heater gave and our carpet tiles suffered

my heart now belongs to the new construction
that may be awaiting us to the east
if only we make a killing on this beast
that we really do love

My favorite picture of park so far. I love that the remains of dinner still on his face while he enjoys the simple pleasures of a ceiling fan.

Parker was exhausted even before we started opening gifts. What loot. It was a great first Christmas surrounded by family.
