whew...

it's amazing how life sometimes seems to just fly by.

we have been doing all kinds of fun things...

went to cirque de soleil for valentines.

with wonderful friends. it was like nothing i have ever seen. you MUST go.

went back home to dothan, al to see family.

like my brother, lane.

my best friend since kindergarten (amy) who has precious little guy who is 8 months now. (kason is his name)

and our sweet mommas. 

but mostly went home to see this handsome man (my dad) and stunning young lady (grandma).  he recently had a hunting accident and broke 8 ribs (ouch) and his clavicle (double ouch). he is doing great now and on the road to a recovery. in the mean time, he looks like an alien whose arm grows out of his stomach.

a whole lotta cuteness.

is this not the cutest thing you've ever seen?

this is cohen and this precious little bundle belongs to our friends hector and emily. you can check them out here. 

he is pushing one month in this pic. love.

it's a little chilly.

we have officially been snowed/iced in for 4 days. i am totally ok with that.

we tried to go out to lunch but the doors were frozen shut. maybe next time.

and it's been snowing for a very, VERY long time.

winter things.

here are the things on my list today:

1. make this little valentine garland (is that the right word?)

2. spread this little gem of a video. nothing is funnier than someone getting demolished.

brrr..

well friends, the ice storm of the century is here. this is day number 2 of no school and it's 17 degrees outside with no promise of warming up. i am the type of person that loves to have things to do all of time so being trapped inside is making me a little stir crazy.

i am dreaming of spring these days. i am really wanting this shirt because 1. it's orange (war eagle) and 2. gingham  (war awesomeness)

warmth...is that you?

it was 72 degrees today. 72. 

every ounce of me just wanted to be outside as much as possible.

 extra recess? yes, please. 

run outdoors? yesss!

just walking around an outdoor shopping center? duh.

today was such a lovely glimpse at what is to come. it gives us hope that spring is coming. it will be a little while, but it's coming.

babies.

when did our lives transition from wedding showers to baby showers?

i am constantly taken off-guard that the friends we are surrounded with are no longer getting engaged and married, but having babies.

i am so thankful to have dear friends who are showing what good mothering looks like. 

i guess life is weird like that. stages of life move quickly.
