Another thing...

I am so in love with the song Hallelujah lately. I've always loved the Jeff Buckley version (it's actually #1 on my top 5 songs of all time), and I've recently discovered several other worthy versions. Would it be weird to make a playlist of just covers of this song? In other news, Dillon has started displaying his temper. I'd been keeping my fingers crossed that he wouldn't have one, especially since he's the happiest, most chill kid ever. Then today I did something he didn't like and he gave me a mad face and then hit me. Three times. In fact, the more I held his hand down and said no, the more he hit me. Awesome. He went straight into the crib for time-out, since I didn't really know what else to do and needed to put him somewhere before I did something I would regret. If this keeps up, I think he's going to get really familiar with spanking, unless someone has a better idea...

Insomnia

Since I now officially am an insomniac, maybe I will keep up with blogging a little better. I am currently enjoying the musical talents of Imogen Heap - check out the video below to see some amazing talent. Even if it's not your style, it's pretty amazing.

The real reason we have kids...

Christmas recap

Happy New Year everyone! Here are some pics from Christmas. Do you like my new Katie Holmes do? I'm not sure I'm feeling the bangs. Luckily hair grows back. Dillon had a wonderful Christmas, and got a ton of things. We even went to church, if you can believe it!

My latest obsession

If you've never heard of etsy.com, you've got to take a look. It is a way cool emporium of all things handmade, from $2 earrings to multi-thousand dollar couture dresses. I've bought adorable stuffed animals for Dillon and Finley, cool knitting patterns, and some artwork to start Dillon off right. And of course there are many, many things I still covet. Any ideas for what to do with vintage sock monkey material?

Dillon & Santa

Dillon told Santa he wants more drums. How many drums can one kid possibly need? Ge enjoyed Santa just slightly more than Addi did - maybe it's the awesome beard.

Slacker Me

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Halloween was a little while ago. Dillon turned one, we went to Kansas for turkey, KU got into the Orange Bowl. Does that catch me up? We saw Aunt Peony and Addi FINALLY!! Dillon and Addi really will make the most adorable couple later, when they're allowed to date at age 30. Here are some pics from our family portrait session. I will follow up with birthday pics as soon as I find them.
