Mike and I have had some discussions about future children which has made me want to spend the next few months really getting the house and our lifestyle in order. Part of it is our actual home--we have a small house so I need to do some weeding out and reorganizing so that we can have another bebeh without Mike giving up his office and without me ( Read more... )

Couple of family blog posts! If you haven't seen them, scroll down and check out the two videos I posted of Autumn. :P

I don't think I mentioned that we were going to the beach this weekend, did I? Well, we did and we had a really good time! We left on Thursday and just got back today. I'll post most later but I thought I'd put up a couple of good photos:

Birthday photos and Autumn is a cat on the family blog!
We're working on a new weapon in kali--the staff! It's not too different from the mechanics of the jo in aikido which is cool. Definitely a lot more movement through the torso and it's a lot more physical...ah, maybe physical is the wrong word. It's less...finesse-y. There's definitely some ( Read more... )

I've posted some more photos from Autumn's party on the family blog. This set has Autumn, me, and Mike. I need people to compliment me because I'm still stinging over the height thing I mention on that post. LOL. Not really. But kind of. If you know what I mean.

But, for future reference, if you call me after 10 pm or between 12 and 2:30pm, I'm not likely to pick up unless you're my mom or someone I know is going through something. Sorry ( Read more... )

1. I'm teaching aikido today and my friend Tamara and her sister are coming so that it's not just me and Kevin. Yay! And maybe her sister will like aikido and train with us. Apparently she's a Japanophile so I think she'd enjoy something so very Japanese.

2. Next project: the Kyoko Dress. This Gothic Flower fabric is going to be the bodice and main ( Read more... )

New post on the family blog!

And I think I'm going to cut my hair on Thursday. I've been wanting something short and flirty for a long time and seeing Twilight (Alice) on Friday sealed the deal. :P I've been wanting that hair cut since the fall so I think I'm gonna go for it. I'm also going to slightly darken my hair. It's gotten super light from ( Read more... )
