My precious five year old!

How in the world did we get here! It was just yesterday that I was at st. Mary's welcoming this little nugget to the world.

Today, I have an independent soul who knows what he loves.



So cute.


Celebrating the big f-I-v-e! So hard to believe!


What a lucky mom I am!

Defense verdict

One of the primary advantages to practicing in Oregon as opposed to Virginia is that a judge sentences after a jury trial- the best of both worlds. Defended a guy who was accused of kicking a hole in a jail wall while waiting to be booked. Da could not prove intentionality.

I am still getting used to all these new rules.

Eric's best day ever

Could have been today- he found his keys before he threw them out with the recycling and the Seahawks won!

Our biddy ball experience

Look at my little all star- love this little athlete so much. Vake loved running around, he loved putting on the team uniform. Is he a good player? Unfortunately, not so much. But we think he is going to shape up to be fabulous on defense.



Here is my precious team with "coach martin". Ha. Somewhere the universe is laughing at me- if you had asked me if I was going to be a biddy ball coach I would have laughed!

My first snowman

Of course, in the four (almost five!) years of Vake's life, there was never enough snow off a snowman- we were able to make up for it this afternoon and Eric helped vake make his first snowman!

New year, new job.

Who has two thumbs and a new job? This girl! Yippee.

So I started today and it send more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Drove one county over (for my east coast peeps, that's like a drive of 90 minutes one way) and met with a guy whose case I am trying on Thursday. Nothing like getting back into it with a bang!

Yeehaw!

Don't get me wrong, I loved being at home for four months, but I think all members of our family would agree that mommy does better when she is on a schedule!

My perfect sweet two year old

It's unbelievable to think where we were two years ago, this little one and me. Wow! Gil had such a dramatic entry into this world, but that dramatic entry is laughably inconsistent with his personality- he continues to be the most laid back, fun, and funny little human I've ever known. He's so different from vake and so much to me like his father in terms of personality.



I've been a little under the weather and Christmas really snuck up on us, so we kept the birthday a little lower key. Started the day out with church, then had take and bake pizza and the most...


...glorious Thomas the Tank engine cake the world has ever seen. Truly, it was something.


And of course, Gil loved the cake (the one way that he's like me is the sweet tooth).


And big brother thought it was pretty yummy too! What a treat!
