I set out to do a different post today and then remembered I had SO MANY photos on Instagram this past week! So you’re getting a fun Instagram roundup. (Follow me on Instagram if you’re over there!) We ended the week (last Friday evening) with a walk and a rainbow. This is my friend Carol. …
Oh InstaFriday, how I needed you today to remind me how good things have actually been this week (and how funny my life can be at times.) You can find me on Instagram at jaime_mckee. Our last day in Florida was Friday. Pool feet. They were the best. We traveled home on Saturday, stopping at …
I saw the I Heart Faces photo challenge on Twitter and Instagram and decided to drag out the old photo blog that I’ve neglected since April. My goal is to take a photo each day in December. I was doing so well at taking photos with the “real” camera and I somehow have neglected it …
I downloaded my “real” photos tonight from my camera. I bought this outfit last year. It was less than $5, and part of the shirt glows in the dark. I thought it was super cute, and I’m not opposed to him wearing it in November. Doesn’t he look so old standing there? True to form, …
It was a good week for play. And I took pictures with my big camera (not just my iPhone! Go, me!) Someone has a new swing hanging from the tree in our front yard. And we had a few minutes before bedtime on Saturday night, so he got in an extra few minutes of playtime. …
We visited the Biltmore Estate last week. They were getting ready for their Festival of Flowers – and I couldn’t get much more pastel than these flowers: Really, these were very pastel-like. And this was my little guy’s first Easter (wearing his pastel blue outfit.) He looks good in pastels. Linking up to Beth’s You …
Can you believe it’s March already? And while the “official” start of spring is still a couple of days away, I think it’s safe to say it has arrived in our part of the country. I noticed my tulips were in bloom (as well as an azalea bush I planted a year ago.) I also …
I was going to blog about how we’re all back to normal here, and everyone has left our house, leaving just the three humans and one cat. But then it sounded like I was complaining. So I deleted everything I wrote. Instead you get to look at this grin (Outfit courtesy of my mom – …
We spent the Thanksgiving holiday with family across the state this year. After a long drive over, we were happy to be out of our teeny tiny car. And even happier that we had a few days that we didn’t really have to worry about cooking for ourselves, so we could spend some time doing …
It’s November 1….which means it’s time to reflect back on the great things that happened in October (or today, because one of my things is technically November, but it’s a good one.) If you have 10 things to smile about (which I’m sure you do), link up over at Emmy Mom! 10. I’ve been home …
Lucas loves his activity mat….most days. And I love watching him discover everything in front of him. He’s also a fan of the car. Or, rather, sleeping in the car. Seriously. Check out those cheeks. (He totally got them from me. One of the few features he got from me.) Cute. Linking up with Beth …
My dad and stepmom arrived in Asheville last Thursday afternoon to visit Lucas. It was their first time meeting him, since they couldn’t be here when he was born. (Medical things held them up.) We were able to get out several days, but for the past couple of days we just hung out at the …
I really need to start scrapbooking the week by week photos – before 40 weeks pass and I’m left to print and scrapbook everything in one day. I am in awe that this little guy has been here for (just over) five weeks. We were supposed to have his newborn photos taken last weekend and …
We’re still here…albeit, a little (lot) sleep deprived. We’re adjusting to being home, and Kenny had to go back to work yesterday. Wednesday night proved to be a challenge since Lucas had a little ‘procedure’ done that wasn’t done in the hospital since we came home a day earlier than anticipated. He didn’t sleep at …
We have a baby! While he didn’t come on time (his due date), he did come on his own time. Introducing Lucas Edward – no more need for the McLittle title (at least officially. I’m sure we’ll continue to use it a little bit)! We were induced on Wednesday morning, and little did I realize …
I had a pretty good “to do” list this weekend, even though my friend Mai was in town (and staying with us!) And it’s a little appropriate that one of my nursery items to take care of actually had to do with Mai. I had three things to take care of: –straighten the nursery (unpack …
Wow. What a day. I survived Bele Chere. Over three hours of it, at least. It was just over 90 degrees when we headed downtown, but I was prepared with my sunscreen and bottle of water. I ended up getting two lemonades (32 ounces each) in addition to my 40 ounces of water, but at …
I didn’t sleep well last night, so it was no surprise that I fell asleep this evening on the couch – before 7:00. I woke up to Chloe using me as her bed. Love that cat. Nap time was followed by a walk with Sophie, and then a milkshake from Cookout. My third since they …
Happy Father’s Day to my dad: (photo taken at my wedding. duh.) And to my husband – who will soon be a dad: (photo taken on our honeymoon. Pretty sure our baby will end up with bright blue eyes.) I’m pretty excited to see Kenny in action as a dad. I think he’s going to …
….and happy birthday to the Army, which I learned from my brother is two years older than the flag.
It’s been a week for me, and I’m really glad I have pretty flowers around – and that this week’s You Capture theme was flowers. Flowers make me smile – especially really bright ones. I forgot I planted these two years ago, and was surprised when I saw them from the street one day. These …
I finished sewing the diaper bag. I don’t know how, but I did it. It only took three hours of my Monday night (so much for getting other things done) but at least it’s done. As a refresher, I was making the Nappy Bag (an Amy Butler pattern.) I used one of her fabrics as …
When we moved into our house (December 2008), we knew we wanted to make a lot of changes/upgrades to the house, but some things would have to wait. We were too lazy to change out the curtains in the garage, which the previous owners had oh-so-generously left behind. They left curtains on one door that …
I haven’t participated in You Capture in a few weeks (basically because I couldn’t get my act together), but I had to get in on this week’s subject…..spring! Spring has shown up at our mailbox, in the tulips that I planted last fall: And in the back yard with the dogwood tree blooming (and notice …
