Kidd's Ring

- a pretty definite sign that we will be gone for a while - - kinda proud that I was able to clean out the fridge so well - - gave away our last sandwich meat and cheese and the rest we used up- - i hope to continue posting pics, we'll see how the next few days go though -

fitting title for today seeing as how we are packing for our big trip and i want to bring more shoes than i should ... hate making packing decisions ... but SO excited for our trip!!!

16. 9 o'clock - both a.m. and p.m. slipped by without me getting a picture of it ... so we'll just skip that one.  sorry. :) 17. green - i love our green walls in our living room and how gorgeous is this orchid?  I can't believe we actually kept it alive and were able to see it bloom again!  YAH!

...pretty soon someone will be exploring the world...

inspiration came from here

I love the sounds that come out of this little one! 

This is our view in the distance when we go for walks.  Love it!

{on days like these} {gchat is very important} {hubs is sick and can't talk} {things would be a bit quiet and one sided over here w/out it}

...more hours in the day... ...time flies by... ...i hate it...

Baby Girl still has the sniffles and isn't doing too well.  Today was another slow day...pajama/comfy sort of day... Here's to hoping tomorrow {and the night} is better for us! 

my two favorites

I wasn't sure at first what kind of a picture to take.  Then when thinking about some of my fears, I remembered this picture I took a while back.  I think it captures my fear quite well. I have a fear of birds, bats {I've had nightmares about being attacked by one} and sometimes even butterflies flying too close to me.  I like seeing them, as long as there is some distance, but as soon as they start flapping a tiny bit too close to me, I get a bit freaked out.

Z is loving her new "chair"- no more laying around in the buggy for this little one. {unless of course she's napping} She loves looking around and taking it all in. I love being able to see her better this way and laugh together. Just today I got stopped at the grocery store by a woman that asked me if I knew how adoringly my baby was looking at me.  It was a strange, yet funny and sweet, experience...very un-Austrian.

lucky that this little guy decided to grow new buds and even open up and let us enjoy him before we head out a long trip!  i was a little bit nervous that we'd miss this beautiful event!

...a sweet baby asleep under a soft, cozy blanket...

Someone in our home loves putting things in her mouth. These are a new enjoyable toy for her!  Perfect for those gums that need a little extra something!

Ever since I've gotten my new camera, I've been wanting to do a photo challenge.  I thought I'd give March a shot {disclaimer, it may only last until the 19th or so and take a brief break, because we're off on a long journey! so excited!!}.  Sorry, it's starting a day late as well ... could be worse, right? :) 1. L is for ...  little one that i LOVE so much  2. i made this! blueberry muffins

achoo trying to sneak away waiting for these to open made strawberry jam popped out two teeth hung out made the perfect shaped pizza! got some kisses
