This party looks AMAZING!!! And my very well be copied one day by a sweet little family in Minneapolis... I remember your post last summer about Judah not being able to eat enough watermelon...perfect theme for him! And those balloons on the fence! Amazing! The whole thing. Well done, mom-of-Judah. You pulled a great shin-dig together!

It's been so long since I stopped by here! (it's taken me 18 months - or so - to get into my grove as well). Your little boys are adorable!

Love you! Glad we're friends. :)

Super cute. I love all of these. Park has some cute ones too... Can't think of any off the top of my head though - LOL - but you've challenged me to try and write them down and capture them for future reference. :)

We have "pack packs" at our house too. :)

We have plenty of funny sayings but I can't bring any to mind now that you ask! Isn't that always the way? ;)

Do you remember when Beck used to say, "Aw, SHOE!" (and point at his foot) for "Aw, shoot." ? Cutest.

Audrey called backpack "pack pack" too. :) So cute. The words kids say are adorable. Luc still says, "fings" for things. And Audrey says, "sugaring" for shivering. I find it endearing. :)

ha :) yup. the joys of mommyhood. I should probably edit to add that sometimes, with my husbands help, it's not as dire...still dire, just not as..lol

This is my favorite blog post in a long, long time. Laughed hard, read it aloud to Rory. Will link to it from my blog. Perfectly said, Jamie!

Joyfully,

Nicely done! I especially love the individual veggie cocktail cups. Definitely going to copy that at some point.

This is so cute! Thanks for sharing.

2012-03-21T22:01:16.462-05:00

It was actually really hard for me to take stuff to consign. The nice check I'll be getting soon helps, though.

I actually don't shop at consignment sales--I don't do well in crowded frenzy environments. I think, though, had I gone, I probably would have ended up buying back some of my own stuff!

Glad you guys are safe and have somewhere to take cover. The pic of Judah in the cellar made both of us laugh out loud. He looks so soggy and stunned, but at least he thought it was an adventure. Gotta go reset our weather radio now before we go to bed. It's heading our way, but so far no tornado watches for CLT...

2012-03-02T10:32:20.339-06:00

I am glad you posted this. No, you didn't make me sad. It brought me a sweet comfort that your dad is still in your mind and heart and that you see in Lucas what I see even from this distance. It comforts to remember and to share it. No one talks about him much. I would like to have a day of just sharing the wonderful, funny and even hard memories. I love missing him. It validates life.

2012-03-02T05:22:38.491-06:00

Oh Jamie, you had me crying in the third paragraph. No lie. Thank you for writing this and sharing something so precious.

2012-03-01T22:59:12.601-06:00

If it makes you feel any better, I cried with you. This blog entry was truly beautiful. Just as Lucas is, just as your dad was and just as YOU are. :) You're a phenomenal woman, Jamie. I feel blessed to know you. Enjoy your reminders and feel them deeply. Your dad is likely speaking to you and that too, is a beautiful thing. <3
