Most places would not allow for a trip to the park on a beautiful sunny day only two days after sleet and snow and freezing temps. We don't live in such places. We live in Texas. As they say, it's like a whole other country. So we went to the park today, two days after the freeze. And it was perfect weather for carefree swinging and sliding and laughing.

Here in the south, we call anything that even remotely resembles white stuff from the sky snow. Most would call this frozen slush. Many will ask what snow I am even talking about because you cannot really see it in these pictures. But it was there. And we were excited. And who doesn't love a cute kid in a winter hat? I know I do.

And, if this is not the cutest picture ever. Well, there is no if. Cause it is.

Valentine's Day is truly a day of love for me. Not only is it the day that Bobby and I went on our first date, but it is also the day that we welcomed Molly into the world. This Valentine's Day we got to celebrate her birthday with a ballerina bear themed party with family and friends back home. My friend Amie made the most adorable cupcakes for Molly, so I had to share a photo of them!

New Orleans weddings are unlike any other. Open bars, line dances, second lining through the reception hall. Not to mention the people. What better idea than to incorporate the NOLA tradition of Mardi Gras into a New Orleans inspired romance? That's just what our friends Mickey and Marie did for their wedding. These were the favors given out, so original!

And of course, I have to include a picture of the happy couple. I just LOVE the way she is looking at him in this picture. I hope that as they begin their new life together, they will always look at one another with that love in their eyes and the excitement of all that they will experience as a couple. Best wishes to you both!

The weather this year has been nothing short of nontraditional. We are not really used to experiencing snow often, if ever, throughout the winter months. This year, Molly got to see snow fall not only in Houston, but also on her birthday weekend while we were in Baton Rouge, LA. Here are a few pics from our LA Sneaux Day!

I just love the expression of pure innocence and excitement that she has in this picture. I often step back as I watch her experience and learn new things, and this smile always seems to creep up at that moment of discovery. What joy she has in all that our world has to offer!

Mirror, mirror.

Take a look at me now.

What you see is what you get.

You get the idea...right?

Why hello there...if you're still there! Yes, I know that the way this works is supposed to be 1 picture EVERY day for 365 days. My bad. I was going to try and go back and catch up, but since I am now 2 full weeks behind, I will just start again today. Better than giving up completely, right?

I love girly toys. I guess because I have a girl, the hues of pink appeal to me. As I sat at a playdate today, this toy caught my eye and I snapped a quick picture of it. So simply girly, I loved it!

And, since I am trying to redeem myself, how about a 2 for 1? This boy is just the sweetest. My friend Kristie is going to have her hands full when he gets older, because the girls are going to fall hard for those gorgeous blue eyes and killer eyelashes.
