so, here ya go!
ummmm, could she GET any cuter? lol. she loves being a colorado girl, that's for SURE! any possible chance she gets to be outside she takes it. the first one is out on our patio. i frequently leave the door open so that she can run in and out. at first i wasn't sure about this, since it's only got about a 3.5 foot/4 foot railing, and i just KNOW she could jump it at any possible second. but (knock on wood!) she's been a really good girl, and i will typically find her out there just lounging in my patio furniture. we got two of these west elm modern wicker patio chairs off craigslist, and i LOVE them! they are very square, but i think there's something about the look of the wicker that makes them charming. they have real cushions too so they are EXTRA comfy... bristol thinks so too! can ya tell? the second one is of her on easter sunday, all dressed up and at her uncle craig and auntie tara's house. luckily it was a gorgeous colorado day, so i was able to bring her along and let her play in their yard out back.
so obviously this isn't the very best quality photo but with my little camera phone ive just gotta make due. (maybe SOMEday ill get a rockstar camera! i would love that!) anyway- this little contraption was given to me by a friend of mine for my birthday, and i love it! as im sure you all know, (and if you didn't shame on you!) i love little birdies. they are just a delight. i think i love them because they always have a little song in their heart to share- like me. :) anyway! this little birdie/picture hanger is super cute. i decided to hang super old family photos... i wish you could see them better. the one on the far right here is my favorite- it's of me as a fat little baby, being held by my dad, and the thing that makes it special is the look on his face. he was just in love. so sweet. anyway, maybe i can figure out a way to get legit pictures of these or scan the originals or something, cause they kinda rock my world. i think it's really fun that there are five little, black birds, and 5 original willis's. ive decided my mom and dad are the birdies holding the metal wire on each side, and my brothers and i are the cute little birds around them. i of course am the one on the bottom right because the other two are matching- which in my mind makes them the boys. :) ANYway! so yeah- this little birdie picture hanger thinga ma jig makes my heart happy. i love it!
and THIS really makes my heart feel happy. there's something special to me about the fact that my bristol anne loves my daddy so much. she loves my mommy so much too.... but i didn't capture a picture. i think it's funny because she met them first when she was 4 months old, and my dad and her just kinda fell in love. and though they've only seen her maybe 4 other times since then (she is now 2 and a half), she knows them, and she loves them SO much. i think it's sweet. i also love this picture cause i feel like i rarely am able to capture a picture of my daddy with a little smile on his face. sure do love him! sure am lucky to call him my own.
in other news- i finished another one of jodi picoult's books and wow. wow. wow. wow. i loved it. ive tried reading a few more since then (mercy and change of heart) but neither compared to THIS!
get it! now! but make sure you've got at least a few days to sit and read because you will not be able to put it down. this is what kept me company the first few weeks after id moved into my own place. i had no tv and was all alone, but couldn't possibly have been happier! it was THAT good!
ANYway! i guess ill close for now. be blessed friends, and as always- be thankful.
