when daddy says he's making a snack... stand clear... & prepare to witness magic.

and so lent begins

ash wednesday was like vesuvius back in the day...  save the bouncers that sneak you in the back door despite your mouthing off and the camera man on the street offering to take your picture then when you decline having the gall to call you "hoodrats in hollywood".  a 40 minute wait and a line that wrapped around the block... reminiscent of a bumping club...  and i think even vesuvius was more like 20 minutes.  popular day, ash wednesday.  everybody and their mother anxiously awaited their moment to receive ashes... and as the priest explained at mass the following sunday, many in attendance were unfamiliar to him.  well here's to those ashes and to new outlooks and a better way of life.  i know that life without coffee & pinterest might just lead to the converting of one household into an insane asylum, but here's hoping our hearts are converted instead!

date night in the o.c.

...revisiting our days of old; a trip to the little dive, a pit stop at taco bell & a late night pool game at madelliene's.  [still got my touch.]

serious face

{proof fun was had}

bunk bliss

no more crib for this kid... we now have what is known as a "big kid" in our midst... and i am keeping a close eye on him because i'm told they turn into real "big kids" over night.  here's hoping that bunk bed is host to extended little-big-kid magic.

Masthead Service

making dick proud

curry wafting on the new year's breeze... a jaunt to the park behind my mom's... family... laughter and panting for breath.  it was a success... we danced and feasted and rang in the new year with dick and the raunchy gang... and once again mr. clark put me soundly to sleep before the champagne.

it was a sure success.

"pumpkin"

babe's first trip to faulkner farm... all is right.
