sigh

Today Brock got his darn cast off.
Sigh.
I am relieved but he is not allowed to put weight on that leg so no pulling up!
Good luck with that.
I am going on a small vacation with Joe and Boo to Georgia! Savannah!
Here are some pictures until then from a new blog:
Beautiful things to share.
Lovely.
Sigh again.


P.S. Thank you Traci-for dropping everything and helping me this week when I needed it! You are a true princess.

cutest broken leg ever

Sometimes accidents happen.
Darn it all.
The last thing I want to see is bebe sad or hurt.
But he took it all in stride like a boy whose name is BROCK!
The surgeon proclaimed that he had earned that name!
B was a such a trooper and not at all the crying mess his mum was.
How did we get so lucky to have a boy with such a wonderful disposition?
I will admit seeing the cast that first day was so depressing.....
But we have bounced back.
He still gives me that sweet smile with the cutest 7 teeth ever.
and his hair is so soft.
and he has the silky, smoothest cheeks.
We are currently on our second cast which is blue (more masculine) because little BooBoo slid out of his first one.
silly boy.

gentle splash of yellow

I am adoring the soft shade of yellow. I used to be all about pink and purple but there is a rainbow of options out there!
Like robin's egg blue and seafoam green! What splendid names!
For now let's celebrate this sunny hue and these beautiful pictures from desire to inspire.

the old school look

Here are some recent pictures with the old school look of the classic Polaroid!
Compliments of the website poladroid!
Dust of your LPs and put down the Rubik's cube and give this a try!

rock it brock!

This I love!
It's all about you Boo!

brock is my unicorn

My week has consisted of spending quality time with Boo and collecting used childrens' books featuring the illustrations of Eloise Wilkins. Her pictures really express the innocence and sweet playfulness of children in everyday life. They are simply delicious to look at. She contributed to over 20 books starting from the 1940s.
Here are some of my favorite images.

On a side note much has been said this week about hope, unity, change, and other things presidential. I believe that hope and change are personal and only come if we ask for it from within ourselves. We always have the choice to be positive or negative. And change can come at anytime and under any circumstance. I think it is silly to wait for the right moment and wake up one day and "decide" things will be different. Instead do your best everyday, don't fret over what others are doing, and choose to think and act positive.
For those of you who have chosen to be negative, ugly and mean these past few years-
Shame on you!
You didn't unite the country you chose to make it worse. Learn from your mistakes and learn to be more tolerant of those who think different of you.
My mom wisely said that the "loudest people are the most heard". That is so true and often times they are just plain obnoxious. I will do my best to ignore the ignorant, petty, naysayers and quietly
"do my best".
Brock is my unicorn and nothing else matters.

filled with gratitude

I am feeling nostalgic and grateful tonight.
I love my country, my family, my baby, and of course Texas.
The past few years I have been blessed, happy, healthy.
Tonight Joe and I contentedly agreed that we have both flourished.
Here's to the road ahead.....
"Never tire, never falter, never fail".
