Found this

quote today by Mary Jean Iron on another blog, and I really liked it sooo I thought I'd put it on my blog as well. We've been having quite a few "normal" days around here so I thought this was a really nice perspective!

Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.

oh my....

It never ceases to amaze me how photogenic my daughter is. Since I hot rollered Morgan's hair for the first time today, we took a bunch of pictures just for fun today-just playing around. This is what this picture looks like coming off my camera...no editing or touch ups needed. She makes my heart stop. And somehow I don't think I'll be the only one in her life that she'll mesmerize. We're going to have our hands full when she eventually starts dating -way, way, down the road!!!! I love you so much little one you are beautiful inside and out!

Can't wait...

to meet you little Caroline...hopefully it'll be sometime next week!Alyson, I know you're more than ready to meet her too. thanks for asking me to take this picture for you!

Happy Birthday...

Mom Rae!!!! We love you so much. Hope you've had a really good Birthday. Sending you a lot of hugs and kisses across the miles. Love, Cherith and Morgan

There is something about...

Fall. It's the cool weather that starts coming in and the pre-winter smell in the air. I have always loved the fall, the way the leaves change, and the beginning of wearing a little warmer clothing (but still warm enough to wear flip-flops!) I start getting the urge to bake stuff and then give it to friends (since I sure don't need to eat it all by myself.) These were the little pumpkin cakes that we baked last week and I thought they turned out really cute. Morgan was ecstatic to eat hers!

love these two...

This is one of my favorite pictures from this summer. I actually got a real smile out of my sister, Sarah, and Morgan at the same time...amazing!!!! Miss you bunches Sarah!
