Cutest. Cousins. Ever.

Well, second cousins if we're getting technical.

It was great to see all our Seattle peeps, but it's also great to be home!

Ah Bee Blah Blah Blah

Back to vlogging...a year later. Oops.

Hope you enjoy my cute munchkin ball.  If you don't know the Little Man's real name, I would love it if you guys tried to guess it from his nickname ("Titi" - what his girlfriend started calling him, and incidentally, Warrior's nickname at the same age as well! It means Tweety Bird in French.  Warrior claims that it was because he was so blonde as a child, but I say that it's because his head (and Little Man's head) is the same shape and size as Tweety Bird. LOL).

What's the prize? I don't know yet, but I'll think of something good. Some linky love for sure, and maybe (just maybe) I'll start using Titi's real name on the blog. Cuz, well I don't know why.

Also a question for you Mac gurus -- is there a way to 'show desktop' like on my old Windows computer? I would luff that.

Cheddar Bunnies!

Something So Small

Over Thanksgiving, Warrior, Little Man and I went on an unplugged vacation. We were out where the stars shine bright and the milky way is indeed, milky. There was no cell phone reception (NO iPhone!! ACK!) and no internet at the home we stayed in.

Here is a collection of random thoughts I would have Twittered (maybe) had I been able to Twitter. Enjoy:

(Thanksgiving Day 2008)
BACON!!

Waffles, coffee (baba)

Chill out.
Into town for Groceries.
Choo-choo train in store.
Dropped groceries.
Went to water to walk on bluffs.
Back for lunch.
Titi nap (that's the Little Man's nickname)

Mom & Dad cleanup & bird prep

Drinking hot chocolate out of a bowl, because the mugs here are SO TINY!! While Warrior does the dishes.

This is definitely a Cracker house.

I LOVE MY BOYS!!!!

SCORE! Brand new Herbes de Provence in the spice rack!

A FOX!! So awesome! (In the yard.)

These thoughts are embarrassing.

It's Wordless Wednesday!

Finally Some Photos

I haven't done Weekly Winners in a very long time, and this post won't actually qualify, since they are not all from this week, so I won't be linking up.

Let's start with the cuteness:

Strike A Pose

Somehow this one reminds me of BurghBaby

Hat

Busted Lip

Poor booboo

LOVE the Curl

Gimme Some 'Tude

So there's the last two months in pictures! Looks exciting, right? ;)

...But He Was Two Months Early

I still catch myself wanting to say that, 'but he was two months early,' twenty-one months later.  Is it an excuse? A reason? A justification? Do I feel the need to defend my son to others? (Or is that really just defending myself??)

Are they thinking that he's behind, or slow in some way?  It still stings a little, this whole preemie thing.  I almost never acknowledge Little Man's prematurity anymore.  But the feeling and knee-jerk reaction to do so is still there, ever present in my mind when the possibility of comparison comes up.

This is still hurting me. But it's not hurting my son.

If you couldn't tell, VDog has been living too much in her head, and not enough on paper. Or blog. Whatever.

I know this is just a tiny tidbit, but it's all I've got for right now.

Many, many heartfelt thanks to Miss for blogsitting for me.  She rawks, and you should all go tell her so. :D

You Put Your Left Foot In...

No Photos, Please

More (Cuteness) Than A Mother Can Take

Oh, the cuteness this week. I attempted some other shots but ultimately decided to go with what I know -- shots of the Little Man. In other news, I have most likely dislocated if not broken my left pinky toe today, but I will hopefully have it popped back into place by my ER doc neighbor. Good times.

(This one reminds me of a face Alexis does)

The Ring Baby

This week Cracker #4 and her betrothed (heretofore called Cracker #4.2) got married.

I did the Bride's makeup:

(No, that wasn't any pressure AT ALL!!)
(Girlfriend NEVER wears makeup, so the challenge was to have her look HAWT without everyone being all WHOA! You're wearing MAKEUP!!)

The Crackers #4 looked so IN LOVE


The Little Man was the Ring Baby. Without a pillow. Or rings.










He had a lot of fun.




Holla at yer gurl




They danced to that song from Juno.

It was an awesome Wedding, and I couldn't be happier for the Crackers involved! Congrats to Cracker #4.2 and Best Wishes, Cracker #4! We love you!!

(An extra special thanks goes out to Cathy at McCathy's Tub for letting the Little Man borrow Quinn's fancy pants outfit! w000t! to you, girlfriend!! xoxoxoxo)
