Good luck with your race Stacey! If you're looking for a good training program, I highly recommend the NYRR Virtual Trainer: http://www.nyrr.org/train-with-us/training-programs/nyrr-half-marathon-training-program

Congratulations on your marathon! What an awesome accomplishment. Maybe someday I'll do a full one too... maybe. ;)

Yes, I think you should start! :)

Thanks Ashley! I think I'm going to put them in a photo book at the end of the year... still not totally sure but I will definitely share here once I figure it all out!

Great shots... they make me a little homesick! Love Portland!

They are trying to make it to Halloween, but they get an extra bonus if they go all the way to December 31st. So far, so good. Valentine's Day is the first big hurtle. Oh, and they can still eat desserts (cookies, ice cream, etc.), so they are not totally deprived. :)

So sorry you didn't get the news you wanted to hear about Jonas' seizures. That has to be so tough. Thanks for keeping us posted on his progress!

Thanks Shari! I'm glad you stopped by! :)

I would love to see them Jocelyne!

But of course! Lucy's still talking about him! :)

Yes, I am planning to print these out in a photo book at the end of the year! I think you could get the hang of this without a problem if you are familiar with Photoshop. Cathy recently posted a video that shows her Project Life process in real time that might be helpful if you are thinking about getting started: http://cathyzielske.typepad.com/my_weblog/2014/01/project-life-week-four-a-real-time-process-video.html This video also might be helpful. It shows the basics of digital scrapbooking with a layered template: http://vimeo.com/65424129

Funny enough, I don't really consider Ella much of a doll kid either, but she had her heart set on Molly for some reason! I have always loved Molly, so I was happy that one of my girls wanted her!

Yes, I stocked up on some extra Molly items as well!

Happy anniversary! I didn't realize you were a member of the 19-year-old bride club too. ;) We are celebrating 15 years in August, and I am constantly amazed at how lucky I am that things turned out so well despite the fact that yes, I was truly clueless back then!

Hi Jessy, Let me know what kind of questions you have about photography/editing. I'm always happy to try to answer them!

Haha, I know! It was a big milestone!

Homemade icing makes all the difference - just use a basic royal icing recipe. I usually just pick up the Wilton gingerbread house kits they sell at Michael's, but really any kit will work. I buy a regular size kit for myself and one of the "mini village" kit for my girls (it comes with four small houses). I usually pick up some extras really cheap after Christmas... Valentine's Day gingerbread houses are really cute! :)

I know. I have serious coat envy.
