Open House

My sister's salon is having an open house tomorrow and you should come! She does a fantastic job and will give you more bang for your buck, if you know what I mean. [Get it? Bangs.]

..with every Christmas card I didn't write.

Had I actually gotten around to printing and mailing my Christmas cards this year, this is what they would have looked like. And I would've wished all my family and friends the merriest of holidays. Shoulda. Coulda. Woulda.

A Boy Needs a Bike

My son is turning 5 this week and it's time to make the move from trike to big boy bike. But do not call it a two-wheel bike or you're sure to induce massive anxiety on the little novice. He has reiterated many times that his bike must have 4 wheels-two big ones and two little, tiny ones in the back. One step at a time.

A Tree as Far as the Eye Can See

It's that time of year, when those of us with young children or large families torture ourselves in the name of holiday greetings. A few friends and family members have trusted me with the task of capturing their representative portraits. It must be the killer pricing fees.

The Skidmore Kids

A Real Ladies Man

For the New Mummy

Who says Halloween is all about death? To my sister it's going to be all about new life this year. She will be welcoming a new baby boy just days before Halloween and I can't wait to see the little guy all dressed up in his spooky duds.

Gabriel's Gang

Each year our family attends the Sharing Down Syndrome Buddy Walk in support of my nephew, Gabriel. This is the first year my sister decided we should have our own team t-shirts. She decided on the title Gabriel's Gang and I went with that.



I'm proposing we all wear black bandannas, as well. Maybe flash our own signs, no?

Gabriel

This big guy is having his 4th birthday today. He is my nephew, Gabriel, and the happiest boy in the world. You can tell just by looking into those sparkly blue eyes. He loves everyone and everyone loves him.

Happy Birthday Gabey Baby!

Mmmmm

Haven't you ever wanted a cupcake so big you had to hold it with both hands? This boy's dream come true and chocolate, too!
