loving my mcphees

pure love produces pure nonsense:

i managed to ONLY post three times in the month of april.

i don't have a good excuse why i only posted three times,

expect for maybe...

my one year old.

lately we have been into

puzzles & reading,

climbing on & off the couch,

running from one end of the couch to the other,

going up & down the stairs,

visiting grandma & grandpa E,

eating zingers & marshmallow matey's,

drinking organic chocolate soymilk,

eating lots of oranges,

coloring & attempting to finger paint,

inspecting every dvd in the cupboard,

saying one word... "backpack" {disclaimer: we

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT watch dora the explorer},

talking jibber-jabber baby talk all day long,

trying to style my little tiny's ultimate mullet

looking at all the animals in petco,

running {literally} around the neighborhood,

getting spring cleaning done

& preparing for our garage sale {on saturday the first of may...tomorrow},

& many other things...

also i've been working on this little one,

yup, baby number 2.

we wanted to keep this baby a secret until mother's day, at least.

we wanted this baby to be a big surprise,

but my mom & sister have been on to me.

& today i cracked.

my secrets out.

expect baby mcphee number 2

around november 19.

we are so excited!

pure nonsense is four mcphees in my home.

M.I.A.

my creative juices needed restoring:

no worries,

we mcphees are alive.

the last two and a half weeks have been busy...

easter egg dying,

easter egg hunting,

immunizations,

fevers, runny noses, allergies,

little sister's prom,

symphony practice

& many photo shoots for

my shutterfreek.

plenty of photos to come.

feels good to be back.

kitchen nonsense

we better keep an eye on this one:

my little tiny keeps me on my toes.

as of late,

she can easily climb onto the couch {& terrorizes the blinds},

goes straight for the stairs {but only when i forget to put up the gate},

takes off out the garage door if its left open {even just a crack},

&

many other naughty things.

this drawer usually contains ziploc bags,

aluminum foil,

plastic wrap,

&

on occasion...

a nora.

{pictures taken with my cell phone}

i

love

my little tiny

crazy girl.

she's tricky.

sunny with a chance of spring

it was one of those march days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold:

every sunday {most every sunday},

my little tiny & handsome mr. mcphee

go to granny cardon's house.

{i just so happen to be in primary with 10 four year olds}

from the looks of it they have a grand ol' time.

my little tiny is always on the move.

always.

i feel so blessed to have a wonderful little family of my own.

sometimes i catch myself in awe of nora.

sometimes i still can't believe that she is mine.

sometimes i have an overwhelming love for my husband.

sometimes i still can't believe that he is mine.

sometimes my happiest thoughts are of these two people.

sometimes i love my life all of the time.

but even the wind can't keep her in.

p.s. happy april fool's day.

no pranks here!
