growing up too fast...

kial got her braces off last wednesday and she looks gorgeous.

is it weird that i feel a little sad about it? i WON'T miss the food filled smiles or finding tiny rubber bands EVERYWHERE, but i'm a little heartbroken because she looks so much older with her brace free teeth.she says she will always be my baby, but i can't stop the panic i am feeling about her growing up way too fast.

i know, i know...

it's whacky, craziness but i REALLY love it.i am not sure why but i am completely intrigued and charmed by this etsy site. i would NEVER want a dead animal on my wall, but i'd be all over a felt one. feltidermy is the way to my heart!

a little celebrating and...

kelly, amy and i got together to celebrate kelly's birthday friday night. we had a great time eating dinner at sharis (sliders, loaded waffle fries and onion rings), going to see the movie ghost town, and finishing off with dessert (shakes & apple crisp) at billy mchales. i am so lucky to have been friends with these ladies since high school. you will never meet two more wonderful people!on sunday jas, kial and i met ally, travis, kiki and kiki's kids down at the seattle waterfront to get a jump on christmas card pictures. we had fun running around and working hard on getting the perfect picture.afterwards we all walked down to red robin for an early dinner.

happy little things...

this weekend jas and i had a mid morning date (movies are cheaper then) and went and saw nick and norah's infinite play list. it was so cute and sweet; just my kind of movie. i was also very excited that they FINALLY have coke zero at the alderwood 16. it's those little things that make me happy.

i am also happy that the new snow patrol cd will be out on oct 28! it's been so long since we had new music from snow patrol and i have high hopes for this album.i swear i am so obsessed with music recently...it's actually a great way for ceb and i to connect. other than her bizarre aversion to the beatles we enjoy a lot of the same music.

a few more little things i am looking forward to...mll scrapbook retreat in 2 weeks, halloween, hawaii (mostly) in nov, thanksgiving, decorating cookies with amy & rachel, christmas morning and just being with my family.

sometimes it amazes me how lucky i am. my life is far from perfect, but i feel that since i have jas and the girls it just doesn't matter!

and...

there's a newly licensed driver on the road!

of course ceb is very excited.
i am very nervous and worried even though i know what a good driver she is. there seemed to be no way to prepare myself for her to suddenly (can you call it that after a year of driving with us) watch my baby drive away all alone... and SO happy to be doing that!
