It's Monday....what do I see?

Pancakes for breakfast!







I promise the nukie will be gone before the end of summer.

It's Monday....what do I see?

I know it's Tuesday, but in my mind it's Monday.
This is not an advertisement for Burt's Bees (although I love them), but
bath time is a favorite in my household.
At bath time my boys become
pilots
scientists
basketball players
scuba divers
volcano specialists
race car drivers
surfers
yellow submarines
and birds in the clouds
I love it when they almost forget I'm there....and I just listen to their chatter while they play.




CHEESE!


His way of "hiding" from the camera.

iheartfaces: motherhood

It's Monday--so post day, but I am also combining it with the submission for iheartfaces.
This week's theme is motherhood--a day I celebrate for myself. (A massage and movie all.by.myself.) But, more importantly I celebrate who brought me to where I am at now. My mother. My mom. My mommy. Everyday I try to measure up to what my mom did for me and everyday I think....damn it. How did she do it!?
She's a gardener, a reader, a golfer and a crossword puzzle lover. A listener, a talker, a wine and cheese cracker snacker. A loud laughter, solitaire player, a night owl and a worrier. She is soft and hard and opinionated and kind.
And she made me.



Pretty cool to have her hang with my youngest one here.

It's Monday....what do I see?

I tried taking L's nukie away from him.
This was his reaction.
Sigh.
He is quite opinionated, isn't he?
After our summer trip, there will a be an intervention.
Cold turkey.
Ciao nukie.
I just wanted to see what I was in for.

It's Monday....what do I see?

Oh goodness. I took pics of this little girl for her modeling portfolio.
How do I love a little baby girl in a pink onsie and little rolls on her legs!





Oh what a silly Daddy. And see J in the background. He wanted to help entertain with bubbles.

It's Monday....what do I see?

One day late with no end in sight.
So...it's "Let's look in the past Tuesday"
Which really means I haven't had time to shoot/download/organize
any of my new photos.

So back in the past we go....
The Cuban part of him is so apparent here!

It's Monday....what do I see?

My friends got married!
It was sweet and simple and beautiful. It put thoughts into
my head that I want to re-new my vows in a similar ceremony.
I could wear my old dress again! It could be motivation
to stay on track of my "get back into old Eva shape."
ANYWAYS....
Here are the pics. This ceremony was what weddings are all about.
The love and the laughter. LOTS of laughter. LOTS of love.
