Happy Birthday, Husband!


Stella and Daddy on Aaron's birthday-eve

Today is Aaron's 31st birthday.  Hard to believe he was 10 years younger when I first laid eyes on him.  Still as handsome as ever though.  Happy Birthday from your adoring family.  We love you!

How time flies.....

So Riley went to the Avenged Sevenfold concert last night and had a blast.  Glad for him but sad for me.  Seems like just yesterday he was sitting on my lap at Sesame Street Live. I guess time flies when you're raising the sweetest boy on the planet.  Sniff, sniff....

Maybe Next Time.....

Attempted rice cereal with Stel for the first time today.  Such a failure I didn't even take a picture.  She hated it......I mean, REALLY HATED it. Oh, well. Maybe next time.

The Magic of Mamaws

Poor Stella had to get shots this morning.  It was traumatic for her (and me too).  So she had been cranky and pretty much inconsolable for the entire day.....and then Mamaw came for a visit. As you can see, she's in a much better mood now.  How blessed I am to have such a sweet mother-in-law and wonderful grandmother to my children. Mamaws are the best.

The many faces of Stella

The wink
The owl

The Eyebrow


So even though Stella is so young, she has quite a personality and makes some of the funniest faces in the world (we think so anyway).  So yes, she's a sweet and darling cherub, but she can also be a silly cartoon.  Here's a collection of some of our favorites:

The fish

The howl

The sneer

Why I don't dread Mondays anymore...

Riley and Stella hanging out on ANOTHER snow day.  Love my kids! So thankful for the opportunity to be a full time mom to them and not have to scramble to find child care on snow days or when they're sick.  Also, just being with them is a blast. I've said it before and I'll say it again--This is the BEST job in the world.  And that's why I don't dread Mondays anymore.

First Post EVER!

So this is exciting.  First post! The purpose of this blog is to have an online space that I can share with friends and family so they can keep up with us (The Myers) and what's going on in our world. Never blogged before, so it might be lame until I really get going.  Hope to post pics, family updates, links to cool stuff, and general thoughts. No one even knows about it yet, so hopefully it will be worth reading by the time anyone sees it. K, enough said as an intro.  Until next post....
