'Tis the Season

With the time change and the snow coming and going we are slowly getting into the groove of winter to come. However, our family is still up to our same ol' tricks. Attacking daddie nightly with pillows, swords and promised campouts in the living room. Logie-bear is crawling so fast we can barely keep up with him. And of course Noah's room is his new favorite place to be. This makes Noah's LEGO building very tricky these days. Daddie transferred his first inmate to Anchorage yesterday, Friday the 13th. He hates flying anyway but it didn't help that he was stuck in for 5 hours in Ketchican waiting for the okay to make it back to Juneau. Apparently the weather was so bad they almost had to keep flying to Sitka. Needless to say, he was so releaved to be home at 1 am.
We had a city-wide power outage this morning due to these howling winds and intense rain. But that didn't stop my boys from waking up at 6:30. So we lit some candles, went to Breeze-In for some morning coffee and snacks and played music and read countless books. It was very peaceful and quiet. But I must say, I am glad to have the heat and lights working again.
Hope everyone is safe, and sound and snug in their cozy homes. Have a great weekend!

Happy-Snowy-Halloween!

We woke up this morning to fat snowflakes blanketing our lush forest backyard. Although it won't stick for too long, Noah was still loving every minute of it. I can't wait until Logan puts his hand in the snow for the first time. Magic.

Although all of our family lives over 3000 miles away we are very blessed and get wonderful packages all the time from Nana and Papa and Ami Jo and Papa Dave. These adorable costumes and a bunch of other clothes, books, and treats came from Nana and Papa and we just love them. Costumes purchasing and surprising has always been a Nana-Papa tradition and we love it!!

We got to dress up last night and go to Fall Festival and tonight is filled with party hopping and trick or treating galore. We love the holidays and the season is officially on it's way! We will miss daddie at work tonight but will make sure to save him plenty of candy...Reese's right?

Our funny man

Not only is Nono-bear completely silly, and adorable, he adores his daddie. Their nightly ritual is to play and chase like crazy and then Noah always wants to eat what daddie's eating. It's pretty cute...



Ok, now, so daddie and I really wanted to capture Noah telling jokes for all our family and friends to see. for those that don't know us this video could be painful to watch for the following reasons:
1. last video my voice sounded like Elmo, weird. This video I am sick and lost my voice so i sound like a man. sorry all :)
2. I didn't realize until after how off centered we are, oops. And the vimeo symbol is on my face. Next time I will ask daddie to record.
3. Noah's and my jokes are horribly bad and daddie and I are usually laughing simply because he's so cute and out of sheer bewilderment where he comes up with these.
Well all, enjoy. A peek into a typical night in our casa.
p.s. Logie bear is crawling and climbing like crazy and got his first fat lip tonight. Did you see how much he LOVES Noah's jokes.

Vintage House

My love for vintage grows daily. And thanks to the internet, so can my closet. As I listen to this lovely cd by Jewel on this drizzling day, my babes allow me enough time to peruse my favorite 'recycled' shops. Here is Juneau our vintage shopping is limited to garage sale finds and a few racks here and there at my favorite boutique downtown, The General Store. So lucky for me these ladies below supply me with some of my faves...here is what I found today.





House of Hollin and Sally Jane Vintage not only are super affortable but have clothes just my size. Sometimes being petite and short is a vintage setback. :) If we could only all be 5'8''. Well thanks ladies, can't wait to place my orders.
Happy Sunday and hope you are enjoying the crisp fall weather like I am.
