Nelsward Scissorhands.

Nels has decided he wants to be a topiary garden artist when he grows up.



While his face is much cuter than the above Edward Schissorhands, his nails are equally as sharp.  His dream is to replicate this lovely, life size elephant family.



For now, he just has me to practice on.

Good thing he is so sweet.

baby love.

The first days.

October already!

     How is it possible that today is already October 1?  I blinked and the summer was over.  Trent loves this time of year and I am trying to befriend it as well.  It is beautiful and all, but for me, it has always been hard to say goodbye to the most wonderful time of year I like to call Summertime.

     This summer was a new experience for us as we had the most delicious baby.  I spent most of my days tucked in our home with my little one.  He was figuring out how to put chub on his cheeks and I was figuring out how to brush my teeth and get dressed before my husband got home from work.  Who knew what a task that could be?

     Even though my Pandora station has changed from The Weepies Radio to Walt Disney Children's Radio, I would not do it differently.  Not for anything in the world.

     Here's why.
