big heart.


Vicki very well may be the best grandma in the whole world. Her excitement and pure joy when she is with her grandkids is intoxicating! its so infectious! the kids CAN-NOT get enough of her. In fact my 8 year old neice gracie met Vicki ONCE at my wedding...two years ago. And what did she say last week when I told her to come visit? in her own words:
Yah i'll come!...will Vicki be there??
She has a way of connecting with kids in a way i have never seen before. She played piano for singing time and the elementary school about 10 years ago - and it is not uncommon for groups of teenagers to randomly hug her and tell her how much they love her when we go grocery shopping. The funniest part is pretty much every time they leave Vicki will turn to me and say "oh my gosh Britt, i have no idea who that was!!" But they all remember her from that time they spent with her. its amazing. Locke is so lucky!

With the two babies, Warren and Locke

and of course, a few more things for the Holly Fair. I tell ya, there is NO WAY i'd be able to do any of these things without Vicki's help - in two different ways - to watch Locke on occasion and to freak out/hyperventilate over anything i make. love her.

Yup, this is my fav. More versions and colors to come soon...

Holy.

k, just to start - i'm really not avoiding this blog, its just that this is quite possibly the busiest summer of my life! With moving, corn chopping, and the holly fair, oh..and a crazy 6 month old, i'm taking advantage of every second. and i secretly love it. Its fun to accomplish so much - since the beggining of summer its been amazing how many things have changed and everything me and lane have done. One of my favorites?? this little guy - check him out trying to sit up!! as if he is already 6 months! it blows my mind!




Whoops. wipeout. way to go grandma....jks. hahahahah

oh, please try to pretend you don't see the food all over his jammies. its just squash, which he obviously didn't like - hence - all over clothes...and all over mommy.
just thought i'd share the latest holly fair project! polka dot headbands! Skye took a picture so you could see them "in action"
