I Miss My Little Friends.

On one lazy morning just chilling at the patio with some colorful homemade popsicles. Great memories! I can't believe that was already a year and a half ago. I miss you guys!

Thank You For Thinking About Me.

I love to see the little things you created with your hands, Tik.

p.s. Eli is still waiting for his "E" cushion. :)

Helping With Dishes Or Not.

My friend Wendy shared a video of her cute son baby Dash on fb (who is about 5 months older than Eli) helping out with dishes in the kitchen, and I was just thinking to myself how I hope that someday Eli and I would have moments like that. A few days later he sneaked in to the kitchen and was all quiet, I knew something was up, and this is what I found him doing. . .

He always give me that look before he starts his destruction, I guess he wants my approval.

Yeah, not helping with dishes yet, unless he thought that his drool helps to disinfect the dishes. Someday. . .

Did You Miss Me on Halloween?

This year Halloween wasn't a hit for Eli (so much for his grow-in-the-dark skeleton outfit) because his bedtime was 6 pm so he was only "growing" in his crib. Since his outfit was missing some arm skeletons, so I made him some (also a heart, so he's not heartless). I took a few more pictures but he was pretty much doing the same thing: chewing on his bones.

And we played "peek-a-boo." Maybe next Halloween will be more exciting for Eli.

Faces That Make You Feel All Warm and Fuzzy Inside.

Mommy has the perfect smile in every picture.

Proud daddy and his peppy little girlie.

Brave little bear's 10,000th attempt in tackling his wrestler daddy.

Kiss, kiss.

Smile is contagious, isn't it?

Little bear's favorite sport.

Sweetness.

A beautiful combination of passion and romance.

Don't worry, I made sure that this didn't last too long. . .

This is like a perfect movie ending.

Thank you Adam, Sarah, Michael and Emma.

Be Still in a Mix of Green and Sunshine.

A brief needed break on Saturday late afternoon after a LONG process of getting Eli a H1N1 shot.

p.s. Amanda, if you see this . . . XOXO.

update:
Claudia, XOXO"X". :)

Missing the Ocean.

The Difference Between Just Woke Up And Wide Awake.

Just woke up, and we were off for a morning jog . . .

And then we were just chilling out on the front porch . . .

Still pretty mellow .  .  .

Then his true color shows . . . (accompanied with high pitch screeching.)

OK, playtime is over, time for a nap .  .  . (here's his nodding trick that he developed lately)

Eli: Good luck trying to put me down for a nap!

This boy has way too much energy.

Happy Birthday, Kaye Starr.

Thank you for always standing by my side, I can't ask for more.

The Perfect and the Not So Perfect.

One of the Best Recipe Book.

Every single recipe that I have tried from this book has been a hit. Williams Sonoma is the best. I totally recommend it. I made some beef Strudel and Moroccan pork chops lately. . . hmm, delicious.

Photo Sessions back in Texas.

I never had a chance to post some photos of my friends that I took before our move. Looking at these pictures made me miss them so much.

One of my friend called this the "Titanic" post.

What a sweet tender moment. . .

Bobbie Ann, I can't believe she is already 5 months old! She's gorgeous.

Sweet little Abbie at 2 months old.

She's such a peaceful little baby.

 

The photogenic Deshazers at the park in one sunny afternoon:
I can't help smiling whenever I see this sweet little face.

I think she knows what's going on behind her. . .

Adore this sweet face.

Love love love this picture!

 

What better models could I ask for! I miss you all so much!

Little Keira's Bows New Look.

My sister Kaye Starr asked me to create a new look for her Etsy Store when an Australian boutique contacted her for a humongous order of her Little Keira's Bows accessories. I was so excited for her and thought it was really time for a refreshing change to the store. 

Here's her new store banner:

 
Back papers (also in black not shown):

There are also some new business cards, shelf display cards. . . and many many more. I always thought of watermelon when I see her hair bows, so I picked lime green and pink. It was so fun, and I think they turned out really well. Don't you think?

p.s. I just found out her store is having a deal for some free Halloween hair clips like this,

go to Little Keira's Bows to check it out!
