If you're reading this, I'm currently taking the Texas Bar Exam. I arrived in Ft. Worth Monday evening. I'll be staying in a hotel room until the end of the exam Thursday. I unpacked my clothes, pictures of Jaye, and SmartWater--think that will help me pass? :-) I've got my computer and ziplock bag with the important stuff ready. But there's one last important thing to do! While I was out studying last week, I saw this awesome Starbucks gift card design and just had to buy one. So in … [Read more...]

Playground
February 18, 2013 by
Dear Jaye, You are so much fun to be around. We love playing at the playground together. We love watching you learn so much every minute. Today, you climbed steps, crawled through tunnels and slid down slides. You picked up dirt and pebbles, bringing them over to dump in my hand or on Dadda.

The other day Jaye and I made some quick and easy Valentines. This was such a fun Valentine's Day craft for a toddler! I started by covering our kitchen table with a garbage bag, one of the big black ones. I taped the edges underneath the table so it wouldn't wiggle around. Then Jaye donned an oversized t-shirt as a … [Read more...]
