I was recently tagged by my sis-in-law to give 7 fun- unknown facts about myself. Here they are- they might not be unknown and some of them not so fun...

1. I played French Horn for 6 years-(I think I was a little cuter than this guy)


2. I don't recycle and I feel really bad about it


3. I have a bowl of cereal or peanut butter and jelly fold over almost everyday between 2 and 4pm- it is emotional eating at its best



4. I once pried two young kids off of their abusive mother, put them into my car, and drove several miles to a nearby childrens shelter while they cried hysterically for her. It was the single most depressing day of my life.


5. When I was in 6th grade I told my parents that my friend and I wanted to sleep in the back of my Dad's pick up truck for our slumber party so we could be outside like we were camping. It was all a plot to walk down the street and meet our boyfriends.


6. I love birthing


7. I wish I was creative on my own but I'm not. Instead I stalk other bloggers who I think are and often times steal their ideas. I'll share this one with you-I love her and don't even know her
Her blog is www.soulemama.typepad.com Her website is even better and is www.amandasoule.com
and she wrote this book


I TAG all my fellow bloggers who feel like doing this...

MY LOVES

I LOVE my husband who I feel so lucky to have everyday. I LOVE my little Esme who is 8 months old and is so cuddly and happy. I LOVE my Sophia who is a little reserved yet so goofy. I LOVE my Ava who wants to soak up all the good in life that a five year old can. I LOVE that I ran a 1/2 marathon with the support and excitement of family and friends.

HIJACKED!

Happy Birthday Cassie!

This is Jennifer, Cassie's sis-in-law, and I am hijacking Cassie's blog.

(I meant to do it yesterday in honor of her birthday, but I ran into logistical and technical problems, issues quite familiar to most Stewarts).

I had a funny little conversation with Ava earlier today where she informed me that her mommy was now 30 years old and that she was 30 inches tall. According to Ava, her mother's favorite food is cake and one her favorite things to do is to play Candyland with her girls. Sometimes, when she has work to do, she can't play.
She also wants to take naps a lot.
Cassie doesn't really sew clothes because she can get them at Target.
Ava says her favorite thing about her mother is that she reads with her.


As for me, I'm delighted to have a friend with whom I have so much in common. I love shopping with her and I love that she loves chocolate as much as I do.
I also love that she appreciates my black bean soup recipe.
She has proven herself to be a reassuring, encouraging and supportive friend (I'm thinking especially of the time around Neva's birth) and of course,
I'm grateful that she makes my brother so happy.
She is a lovely mother to my sweet little nieces, whom I adore.


I easily count you as one of my very closest friends, Cassie, and I'd bet my hands that most of your friends would say the same!

YIPEEEEEE!!!!

OH I can't tell you how excited I am to get my bday present early this year. We have had our digital camera for over 6 years now and it is time to let it go. In fact this pic of my Nikon may be the last one it takes. SO why do I not have any great pics to share from the new camera?- because I am slowly but surely figuring it out. Hopefully in the next few days...
