Play Date Fun

February 27, 2013Dannie, Maddie0
Last week, Trisha brought her kids over for a play date. Maddie and Chelsea are at such a fun age and play together so well. They were dancing to the “ABCs” on Maddie’s little laptop…..over and over and over. And held hands while they sang and danced. I even got a video of them! So...

Maddie had a wonderful 2nd birthday party. We had a bunch of friends and family come celebrate with her. Chuck’s mom made Maddie a dress with Elmo on it. She even made Elmo’s face! Here are some pictures of everyone mingling and eating. The kids loved playing with the balloons we blew up. I even...

3 Months

Our peanut turned three months old last week. (Yes, I’m behind on my blog posts!) Dannie is such a wonderful addition to our little family! She’s so sweet, cuddly, smily, and the best little baby. Dannie is still a great little sleeper. She can put herself back to sleep at night and will fall asleep...

Fitbit

For Valentine’s Day, Chuck got me a new FitBit. It’s the FitBit Zip….in pink, of course! My old one was the first one we got many years ago. It wasn’t holding a charge very well anymore. This one takes a battery, which is much better for me since I suck at remembering to charge devices....

It’s happening. My baby is growing up! Maddie turns 2 today. I can hardly believe it was only two short years ago that this beautiful little girl made us the happiest people ever and made us parents. She did give her momma a rough entrance into the world, but she was worth it all! Maddie...

The Paris Wife

February 5, 2013Books0
We combined December and January for book club and read The Paris Wife. I had a hard time getting into it, but the other ladies loved it. Chicago, 1920: Hadley Richardson is a quiet twenty-eight-year-old who has all but given up on love and happiness—until she meets Ernest Hemingway. Following a whirlwind courtship and wedding,...

More Bonus Photos

February 4, 2013Dannie0
Here are a couple other bonus photos I got. The photographer from our family phot shoot asked me if I’d be interested in doing some newborn photos with Dannie. Apparently new moms don’t usually like to do this pictures and she wanted a few more shots for her portfolio. I was happy to oblige!

The Red House

February 3, 2013Books0
A couple months back we read The Red House for book club. It didn’t go over very well. Only one person finished it and most didn’t come close to finishing it….including me. Here’s a summary. The set-up of Mark Haddon’s brilliant new novel is simple: Richard, a wealthy doctor, invites his estranged sister Angela and...

Family Photos

So yesterday when I posted the bonus pictures that I got of Dannie, I mentioned they were by a photographer that took some family photos for us. I realized I didn’t post any of those pictures. As a baby gift from Chuck’s sister, Paige, she found a photographer to take some family photos for her...

Almost 2

January 16, 2013Maddie0
Our dear, sweet, sometimes infuriating, always silly, lovable, adorable toddler is almost 2. She’s 23 months old and I spent time today making invitations for her birthday. She says so many words and phrases that there’s no way to keep track. We are pretty certain that she isn’t going to ever stop talking now that...

Our sweet, happy baby girl is two months old! What a sweetheart she is! Those kissable cheeks and that smile…oh man…melts my heart! She likes smiling at Chuck and me, but she lights up when Maddie talks to her! It is so sweet. I can’t wait for them to play together. Dannie had her 8...

I know you probably don’t care about the Xmas cards I got this year, but I like taking a picture to remember them. And to remember how lucky we are to have so many great friends and wonderful families! And this really is the last Xmas post. I promise! 🙂

This little fishy friend is at the kids’ doctor’s office. He’s the friendliest little guy and just swims right up to you. Maddie named him Spiky and wanted to bring him home. 🐡
Today the kids (ok, well just Alex) celebrated the Today the kids (ok, well just Alex) celebrated the 💯th day of school. This is a big deal in kindergarten and also a big deal in general. We have done 100 days of DL at our new school. These teachers have been amazing and our kids have done an great job. We are so proud of them. Not everyday is easy, not everyday is fun, but an end is in sight.

We decided we are sending them back to school in April for the 4th quarter. Although I’ll probably cry to say goodbye to these teachers, I’m so excited for my kids to be IN their new school and make some new friends and feel like part of the Hilltop family.😁

These are the books I got for my 8 year old for Va These are the books I got for my 8 year old for Valentine’s Day. She has been really into space and loved the first book in this series. There are some pictures which she still really enjoys and she’s constantly telling me what’s happening in the story so it is definitely keeping her attention. 🚀🪐📚

I went back and forth with this one. I really want I went back and forth with this one. I really wanted to love it. I had heard so many good things about it. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t dislike it. I enjoyed it. But it wasn’t a favorite read for me. 

I thought the premise was so fun and unique. And I was drawn right in at the beginning. I loved the play on words (like the devil being called “Luc” instead of Lucifer) and the way she just floated through time. I enjoyed the way Addie became immortal and all of the ways she learned about her immortality, the deal she made. It was a dark, yet hopeful book. My heart hurt for her when she tried to say her name and it wouldn’t come out and when people kept forgetting her or not recognizing her. 

I thought the book dragged a bit in the middle. But with other books I felt dragged, I am not sure what could or should have been left out. It all seems important when it’s put together and looked at in hindsight. I thought it was good, but it just wasn’t one of my favorite books. As much as I wanted to love it, I’m really at a loss for the exact words as to why this wasn’t a favorite for me.

True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting o True story of why I’m a nutcase. While sitting on the boat recently, watching the kids play and listening to the house be built, I panicked. Crap! We should have put our house the other way. Left side on the right, right side on the left. That tree will be in our way! WHAT HAVE WE DONE?! 
.
So I immediately text Chuck who is working and tell him about how I am worried almost to tears about this. That we messed up.
.
It isn’t something we can do anything about even if we maybe should have done it the other way, which is probably nonsense. But we love this tree. And it’s going to add to our amazing view. And I want to plant another one on the other side one day anyway. And that big open spot will have a deck and porch behind the main floor garage. And what...I may have to turn my head slightly to see the lake better?🙄
.
Yep. I’m a nutcase. I don’t worry about the things right in front of me. Or even things I should worry about. Nope. Just things that can’t be changed...now that’s where my worry shines! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤪
