Evangeline is one!


I can hardly believe that my baby girl is one. If you’ve known me for any length of time, you’ll know that I’m very much in love with our little Miss. I love everything about having a daughter…especially the clothes. So of course I had to whip up a floral crown and tutu for the big birthday event. I took her over to my grandma’s house to snap a few “first birthday” pictures. I had this whole vision that I was going for…I only wish I had someone with me who knew what they were doing! I’m still really happy with the pictures that I did get (even if she refused to cooperate.)

As long as I sat her in a chair, she would sit still for the pictures. But she wanted to get down and play. I’m going to work on convincing her to be a more willing model.

I’ll be doing a followup post with birthday party and birthday buddy pictures.

sink baths and celebrations


Has anyone noticed how random my blog is? That’s why it’s so hard for me to title my entries. A multitude of events, all jammed in one post. This blog is very much a reflection of my brain. Random and thinking of multiple things at the same time. And hopefully it’s evident that it’s full of love for my family and friends.
this picture just makes my heart melt.

Don’s birthday was on Friday. He officially entered his last year in his 20’s! I made his favorite meal for his birthday dinner (it’s definitely one of my favorites right now, too!) 
If you’re looking for an amazing meal, try this amazing potato soup recipe. And to kick it up a notch, try serving it in a pretzel bread bowl. Amazing! For real.

Evangeline hates baths. So bath time with her is never something I look forward to. The other day, I decided to plop her in the sink to scrub her down. I don’t know why I had never given a sink bath before. It was absolutely adorable and so much easier than the bathtub! 
 
I mean, how cute are these?

 Saturday night was a special night to celebrate this ‘Loving’ couple and their 30 years of marriage. They are a wonderful example of what a godly marriage should look like, through the ups and the downs. They also happen to be the best landlords ever 😉
The lighting was so low, romantic, and lovely. but I was forced to use a flash, which I have no clue how to use.
