LAX photos

Jake is a big time LAX player. If you don't know what that is, I'm sure you are not the only one in TX. I didn't know too much about lacrosse until he signed up last year. He's in the center of this picture. He likes to play defense this year.


This is Sydney enjoying the cool afternoon.


Kiley with my phone. :)



And Kiley again, enjoying her time on the sidelines.

I'm BACK!!!

My client that I have seriously considered firing and wanted to be done with since December is finally on its way to becoming a distant memory... It's a double-edged sword in that it brought in a lot of income at a time we were putting ridiculous amounts of money into houses, but it had truly taken over my life. And, because of communication issues/style differences, we weren't likely to be successful, which was a huge issue for me. It was a blessing, and I don't mean to complain, but I have really struggled over this one and whether it was a good fit - and now I feel so much lighter that the decision has been made. I expect to be taking better care of my family, cooking more, and taking much better care of my other clients in the coming months. And, I couldn't be happier.

Kiddos say the funniest things....

...and our little angel is no different. Kiley has discovered pancakes in a big way. She likes them with no butter and with as much syrup as she can get us to add. I've tried honey but it's just not the same for her so we go with the syrup (or as Kiley says, Styrup). She especially likes the cookie cut out of a little gingerbread man, star or heart. She is so incredibly cute.

Courtney posted this on Facebook yesterday:

You have to laugh when 2 year old yells from the table about 20 times 'Are the pancakes done? Are they all done? Are they all done? ...' and then sighs and says quietly to herself, 'I'm very patient.'

She is so stinkin' cute. :)

Eating Pancake Man

Kiley is so funny. She's on this huge pancake kick and gets really excited when we have them. This was from today at breakfast. I'm really enjoying the personality that she is developing. :)

In the video I prompted her but it usually doesn't take much for her to speak her mind.
