The last time I had a lengthy unplanned blogging break I was sicker than a dog newly pregnant. While I make it my mission in life to keep up with the royals, I assure you this break had everything to do with a broken computer and was NOT because I jumped on the second baby train along with William and Kate. It’s a good thing Annabelle’s new tiara came just in time to celebrate the coming of her new brother or sister in law.

A real princess wears her tiara while in her pajamas. We’re working on her royal wave. |
In other news, it’s been business as usual over here. By that I mean embarrassing and awkward things continue to happen. The maintenance man came over unexpectedly this morning and I only had on half a face of makeup. Literally down the middle half. One eye had eyeshadow and one didn’t. I wish I was kidding.
For reasons I do not understand, Christopher insists on keeping the beer caps and wine bottle corks every time he has a drink. I’m always finding them in the laundry or random corners around the house. A few days ago I found one under the couch and threw it at him while sarcastically asking, “What are you going to do with all these corks? Make a pinterest craft with them?” Imagine my surprise when he said, “Actually, I was thinking about it.” COLOR ME SHOCKED. Who is the pinterest perusing man and what have you done with the person I married?

A little inspiration. Might as well DIY that new chair for the living room. |
My father in law came up over the weekend to meet Annabelle and visit with me, his only favorite daughter in law. I suppose he wanted to see Christopher too. It was a big weekend for AB. She met her grandfather, took her first selfie on his phone, and stayed in the church nursery.


That first picture is priceless! Such a sweet princess.
It's nice that your church has a nursery! I wrestle with Wells (one of the trouble causing toddlers) all mass long and those other good catholics trying to get their prayers straight for the week look at me like I only have one side of make up on.
Do dads just not pay attention to how things are done? My husband is always doing something that I would neve in a million years do and then I'm left having a heart attack. Some times I feel like it's my husband's first day on the job as a dad. We've had her for over a year!
On a different note, she is rocking that tiara. I think our chances at royalty are very slim so is it possible for me to ride your coat tails on this one? Some how I have to meet Princes Catherine. I just have to!
OH MY GOSH! She looks absolutely adorable in that little tiara of hers!
Sunflowers & Love
Oh my goodness! That tiara headband is just too much! Where did you get it? I think Evelyn might need one too!
I can imagine your freak out moment when he came back baby-less. I would have done the same!!!! She's to cute with her Tiara on!!!!
