Film Friday: Life in 2011, Part One

Thank you for all the well wishes we received for Nora, especially on Facebook after I posted about this morning’s other scary first — her first bloody nose.  I’m happy to report that, besides that incredibly frantic wake up, today was a much better day.  Nora is still coughing, but is mostly back to her normal playful self and clearly on the mend.  We’re thankful the seriousness of her first illness was short-lived and for all of our caring friends and family members.


You may remember one of my New Years resolutions was to actually do something with the videos I take.  I’m hoping to post a video every Friday in a new feature called “Film Friday” inspired by a blogger I love, Gregarious Peach.  This first video is part one of a look at our life in 2011: January through March.  At first I thought it might be hard to whittle down our footage to a short video, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought…and there’s something to be said for video in high speed!

I hope you enjoy this new feature (and I hope I can keep it going!), as well as this reminder of how much changes in a year.  While watching the videos from last January, I was most struck by the difference in Nora’s language abilities between then and now.  Then, she was still saying single words and now it’s full sentences and stories!  Oh, where did the baby go?

      Thanks to you and Errol for visiting and commenting! We do enjoy the snow, but it’s a rare thing out here in the ocean. Not enough for sledding, but still fun. The way things are going this year, we aren’t going to get any snow I don’t think. 🙁

Z was Raja in an Aladdin production through her dance studio @pasgeorgetown this evening and she did such a great job. I loved watching her. She took a year off dance and is getting back into it and you'd barely know she took any time off, plus she had a big smile on her face the whole time - I could tell she was having a ton of fun. ♥️

What happens when you go on a long weekend trip with only your husband, no kids, and no agenda? 

Lots of walking, cocktails in the middle of the day, singing at a piano bar, and time to write a blog post for the first time in nearly two years. Which I did! 

😮 For real. LOL 😊

Today Chris and I have been married for 15 years. We're celebrating with our first weekend away from children while my mom watches all four girls. We rented an old Victorian from the 1800s near the coast in Galveston, Texas and spent the day at a spa, eating delicious food, walking the beach under the stars, and finished the night with a bottle of bourbon saved from when we lived on Nantucket. I'm not sure I could have asked for a much better day. I even had an oppotunity to get out the lightship basket purse Chris gave me for our 5th anniversary. ♥️

Multitasking between performances at this weekend's dance competition.

We had a cold snap and yesterday we had to get all bundled up for Zara's soccer game. It was 30 degrees and, despite these pictures, Vivi's patience for being out there did not last long. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 80 degrees and we're really looking forward to warmth again.

By the way, my awesome gaiter came from our client @isacattostudio. Isa paints patterns and makes really beautiful textiles and notebooks with her patterns. ♥️ her work and team.
