Sorry to disappear again!  My goodness, I’ve had a hard time getting back in the swing of things since we got back from our vacation.  I’m behind on my 365 pictures, my 12 Square quilt blocks, and basically every crafting project I’ve had in mind.  But what I have managed to do is get myself hooked on the current internet obsession that is Orla Kiely for Target.  Yep.  I have succumbed.  I keep going back for more.

So anyway, I think when I wean my second-born (which is quite imminent), I will have a better outlook toward life.  And perhaps I’ll get back on the ball…

Thank you for still being my Internet Friends.

It’s been a good year of Thimbly Things. :)

EDIT: Look what this lady did with her Orla Kiely purchases.

of awesome.  Thank you (and thank God) for the beautiful life (and lives) we’ve made together.

I love you, Evan!

We just returned from our Snowbird-ish vacation in Gulf Shores, Alabama.  It was great.

I loved the brightly-colored beach houses.  Evan was shocked by them.

Emily adored the beach.  She’d run to the water and yell, “Come and get me!”  Quite the fearless tot, she is.

And Jacob’s personality blossomed while we were gone.  He started clapping and walking and laughing randomly and groaning.  (Above pictures were taken just before the vacation.)

I generally forgot to take pictures.  But I do have some funny baby videos. :)

P.S. Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day.  Got any fun stories?

New fun stuff in my kitchen.

Photographing my breakfast.

Like this lady.

Pink and red together.  And seeing my daughter role-playing.  That’s pretty great too.

a simple, new curtain in the bathroom (bye-bye).

I’m vacationing right now, and I totally heart it. :)
