September...







Good things:
  1. The beginning of my second trimester
  2. The start of Second Grade
  3. The excitement of Fall's weather approaching
  4. Evening visits to Disneyland
  5. Leaves scattered across the ground
  6. Prospects for a certain spooky holiday
  7. His provisions and His providence, all the time

nettles, storybook places and a birthday too

 one.

 
two.
three.
four.
five.
 six.

one and two--I don't remember exactly how it came about but we were being silly with one another and I brought up nettles. Nettles, Nattie, Natalie. We were both extremely playful and happy and now Natalie (also known as bubelah) has yet another (new) nickname: Nettles. My daughter the Nettles. On Mother's day after church, we came home and changed into comfy clothes, made popcorn, snuggled and watched a movie together. I also drew to 'nettle' pictures, for my daughter and the new name..

three and four--Our passes have cleared up again, allowing us to visit Disneyland until the summer comes around. three is a photo of the top of the Peter Pan Ride Building and four is from Mr. Toad's Wild Adventure..

five--Never far from Mother's day is my husband/love/best friend's birthday. We made banana cream pie from scratch (including the pie crust!) and decorated it for him. She put blueberries to make a 'R' and out a cherry in the middle for him..

six--the Nettles herself, a self-portrait..

Addendum--just came across this on an email from All About Thyme:

Celebrate Be Nice to Nettles Week by listening to Susan's podcast on this interesting "weed" or reading about 101 surprising ways you can use nettles.

botany, antiquated silverware and a unicycle...






Tarzan's Treehouse at Disneyland has me wanting for all of this...and I do mean all of it!

my favorite valentines...


This family valentine's day we:
  • drove in little buggys and felt the wind in our hair
  • covered our eyes when we passed the yetis on the matterhorn
  • visited our favorite haunted mansion & picked up a hitchhiking ghost
  • sailed on the pirate ship Columbia and saw how seamen lived
  • feasted on good food and mint juleps
  • bought Tiana's Cookbook so we can learn how to make beignets, jambalaya & peach cobbler
  • drew animations and characters like Grumpy and Mickey Mouse
  • Ate our favorite big fat peanut butter cookies with plump peanut butter chips
  • watched Nat soar across the night sky in a silly swing
  • played games on the boardwalk
  • had an absolutely perfect valentines with my favorite sweethearts. 
Best Valentine's day ever....
