Happy Birthday Ms. Katchoo!
Are you ready for all this Hella..?
We've come to realize that the best gift we can give our kids for their birthday, is an entire day (or a big chunk, at least) with just Mommy and Daddy.
Thanks to Aunt Robyne's gift of babysitting (who also gave her the purse, wristband and rainbow laces!) we were able to do just that!
I cannot tell you how weird it was to be "free."
I am so conditioned to watching the clock.
Every minute of every day is scheduled with pick ups and drop offs and meals, homework, baths, and bedtime that it's hard to shake the feeling of being pulled towards something.
It felt so good to take a deep breath and just enjoy my time with Rik and Hella! This is definitely something I could get used to!

She is so adorable! I can't wait to be able to do that kind of stuff with Willow!
I'm so glad you all had a great day!!!
Tell Ms. Katchoo her rotten aunt loves her.
Chad and I have been negating the parties and taking the kids by themselves for their birhtdays for a couple of years now and I think in the end when they are older they will remember that more than a party with a million people. We always have a great time, it's cool to be with your kids one on one.
just some advice for mom- I know, believe me I know more than anyone, how much fun it is to take the pictures and how much I dread having my picture taken but I got to a point where there were absolutely no pictures of me so every once in a while suck it up and get your picture in there too. let the kids take them it's a little easier that way.
That really is the best idea. It looks like she's having so much fun! Also, Ingrid said to tell Hella she likes her shoe laces.
