We don't hibernate

Not in Austin, Texas we don't! We're barely aware that it's January...Winter in these parts. Just take a look at today's weather forecast: Sunny. Warm. High of 81f. We are aware that there's snow somewhere up North and stuff, but it really doesn't affect us. In fact, the other afternoon, Heather and Ryland got a group of us together at a super fab park to play hopscotch...or as Mia sometimes refers to as popscotch.

I don't mean to paint a picture that it's all a bed of roses down here...Cedar Fever has hit..and hit HARD! For two weeks, my eyes have been swollen & itchy, nose clogged or runny...and the sneezes? Forgetaboutit! So, many of us are taking our antihistamines and braving the outdoors by hitting the pollen head on...today? Oh, on our beautiful sunny day? The pollen count is estimated to be High (1,499). So, we'll be hibernating :)

Friendship

I've known Courtney for over a year. That means that Mia's known her daughter, Izzy for over a year, too. While we've been over to their home many times for playdates, birthday parties...and Courtney has been over her for a MNI and my birthday celebration...Izzy has NEVER played at Mia's pad! Well, that finally changed this week when Courtney, Izzy and baby Emmy came over for a wonderfully long visit. The girls played dress up and were rock stars. Mia's dollhouse and babies got some play. Mia held Emmy for a little bit...testing out the waters :) Then out came the curlers!! At their request, I curled Mia's, Izzy's and even baby Emmy's hair. Izzy was completely still and LOVED all the primping. Mia tolerated it, and Emmy had no clue what was going on. It was fun!

There's a lot more Friendship stuff going on at Stacey's

love is good

We were driving along. I was quiet, mellow, thinking....Mia was in her car seat, exhausted from swimming (there was a glorious break in the rain) also quiet, in her own world. Then she softly said something that I thought I heard, but wanted to make sure...so I asked what she had said. 'Mama, I love you so much.' Ahhhhhh I had heard right. 'I love you, too, honey.' Mia ended our short but oh, so sweet conversation by answering, 'love is good.'

Yes, it is, mija. Yes, it is.

for more lovely goodness, visit Shutter Sisters and for some wonderment visit Stacey at Land of K.A.

Happy Birthday...to ME!

Today's my birthday! I'm 38 (ask my mom and she'll tell you 'not till 10:33 pm), and for some reason, I totally feel today is all about me. Daryl showered me with kisses. Which is actually something he does everyday, but this morning he ended it with a super wonderful birthday kiss. Mia got me up extra early today...to spend some extra time with me...that's what I'm going with. The sun rose, I'm so sure of it, just for me...the sunrise was gorgeous, and something I usually miss, because Mia lets me sleep in. There was a bird tweeting for me.... Ok. This is getting to be too much, even for me :) just one more...Hellooooo it's Love Thursday! That has to be about me :)

I wanted to include some of my favorite shots of, well, Me and those who shared such fabulous moments with me. As I was going through them, I realized that I was didn't have with some of my dearest friends and family. If you don't find yourself in here, that means you need to be all lovey with me when a camera is around :)
