And She Carries a Purse


Regular readers will know that I loathe purses. Despite this purse hatred for my birthday I received a black day travel Coach bag from Jane.


I used it for the first time today and I was so discombobulated. I brought things with me that I would normally leave at home. I left my wallet at the coffee counter and worst of all I carried my purse with me all day from meeting to meeting. I looked like I was headed to the market all day. Still, I think I started getting used to it and as Sara pointed it out "Its not a purse, I prefer to think of it as a bag that is used for transporting items"

Micah and Brooke

Only four months apart and you can tell they are going to be good friends. This was so sweet.

My Favorite Sound

The only competition for the sound of laughter is the sound of the hurried footsteps of a toddler. If you don't have hardwood floors during the toddler years you are missing out on this-sure you can hear it on tile and carpet too but its at its best on the hardwood.



Brooke is getting bigger and while she is still doing the toddler run and I am still hearing the toddler footsteps, each time I smile and then get a bit sad that this time of my life is almost over. Brooke climbed out of her crib this morning (she had been climbing out the last few nights but this was the first time in the morning) and the sound that woke me was her toddling into our bedroom. It was the best sound to wake me and as I was laying here reflecting on it Sydney stomped on in....yes the toddling toddler sound will soon be leaving my house and it makes me sad

The Moon Looks So Cool!!!

A couple of months ago we were headed down to San Clemente and I noticed how low, full and orange the moon was. It was so orange and so cool looking I called my mom and asked her to go outside and see if she could see this cool moon. I almost had David wreck the car trying to get a glimpse of it and of the course of the next couple of days mentioned the moon to several people.

Last week, I was passing through that same area (in the daytime) and took the picture to the right. What a dork.

Eagle Point National Cemetary

I have a picture of me and Becca in front of my great grandparents grave. It may be morbid but I like it, now I have a picture of the girls in front of their great grandparents grave. I thought Brooke was giving a loving pat on the gravestone but she was actually rubbing her hand in fresh bird poop ;)

I grew up side by side my cousins and seeing them yesterday was a great reminder of just how much I miss them. (Insert tears here).

Becca is proposing an annual cousins weekend (most likely location is Sacramento or Bay Area) If we can do it-I am so in!!!!!! 143

Honoring Uncle Paul

My Uncle Paul passed away on February 4th, today in Eagle Point Oregon we celebrated his life.

Uncle Paul was only 65, he had been married to my Aunt Kathi for 42 years. He served our country, was a great father and grandfather and I was lucky enough to have him for my uncle.

Thank you for all the great memories, Uncle Paul. I Love You!
