Congrats on the 700th post!
700th post! Giveway time!
Just today I discovered that this post is my 700th! So as I was playing out in the yard with my just-arrived-new-stencils I thought it would be the perfect thing to share for a giveaway. Leave a comment at the bottom of the post and you'll be entered in the drawing to win all three of these 6"...
I faithfully read your posts-even when I delete a hundred other posts. Why do I do it? You have the most adorable family-you make me feel good. It is even better that you are not perfect. I mess up every day. Your sharing makes my imperfections seem fine, normal, generally acceptable??
My guilt-I am a faithful reader and I suck at posting. I work about 12 hours a day-so everyone has already told you how adorable the kids look. What can I add other than to tell you-you lift my spirits every single day. Your photography is so far out of my league, but your family is so adorable-and so normal. You make the everyday stuff so much easier.
You, and your family make my day better. Keep on keeping on!
Why I'm Doing This

Love Notes
I didn't even notice it until the other day, but there's a perfect heart on the trunk of our Christmas tree. Ross says he didn't do it. Cole says he didn't do it. And Courtney and Annie said they didn't do it either. So I started thinking that maybe someone else had done it - some stranger tha...

Was it really Thursday that I last posted? Time flies... Five reasons I am happy today: 1. Our 5th anniversary was celebrated this weekend. It is hard to believe we have already been married five years as it still feels so new. At the same time it seems as though we have been together forever...
