halloween

my dad

he's my dad. he's the guy who rocked me to sleep until me feet dragged on the floor. he's the guy who used to pretend to spank me when i was in trouble. he's the guy who would sneak me a snack when i said i was hungry at bedtime. he's the guy who was always at my games no matter what time or weather conditions. he's the guy i could always count on when i needed something. he still is. he's my daughter's hero. he was mine first. he's my dad.
happy birthday, dad!

should i be worried?

mini me

my chubby little girl now likes to cross her arms when she does not get her way. i caught her doing it today and was able to snap this picture. look at that grin! i know i have seen pictures of myself in this exact same pose. it's true what they say, you WILL get one just like you. :)

the golden gate bridge

i set mia on a concrete post for a second while i meant to snap a quick picture of the golden gate bridge with my phone. instead, i ended up with a much better view than of that famous bridge. i caught my baby, looking more like a little girl.

happy birthday to me!

politics

with all of this talk about politics and what our government has done to us or needs to do for us over the past several months, it's gotten me to thinking...what really matters to me in all of this? well, you are looking at them...and a few not present for this picture...
i really don't care who wins, as long as our kids don't lose.
