Throwing a little more love Sarah's way

Look at my cute sister.

Not only does she make heavenly baby quilts, but she also designed a fabulous Christmas card/baby announcement for me. Because I asked her to. Because I didn't want to do it. And because she's really good at everything design. Thank you, Sarah!

I have another cute sister, too. She lives in Utah, and I don't see her nearly enough. I am very much looking forward to seeing her and her plays-with-my-kids wonderful husband and her walking-already! adorable son Milo when they come in a few weeks.

Two very beautescent sisters-in-law, a very young looking, attractive mom, two cuter-than-cute nieces and a babe-alicious daughter round out the female contingency on my side of the fam.

Watch for us on Family Feud. It's a little dream of mine. Oh yes.

Emily, you are way too kind. And beautiful! And the cards were your idea, I just put your thoughts on paper.

What's this? Milo's walking? Abby, you're pulling out all the stops!

Thank you, thank you for the compliments. You're all such lovely people yourself.

This Milo/Owen competition has really got to stop. Every child has different talents. Owen's the best at wearing cranial whatchamacallit headgear. Milo's the best at football, 'cause I bet he already knows how to play. And Norah's the best at sleeping through the night. Ha ha!! (Not to brag, but brag brag brag.)

I'm crying right now because I would take sleeping through the night over football and cute cranial headgear any day.
P.S. Thanks for the love, Em. Back at ya!

Beautiful family both nuclear and extended.

I'm so jealous-- I've always wanted to have a big family with lots of sisters and sister-in-laws! I hope that you always realize how lucky you are!

Another taboo topic: money

I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i...

Two things

First and foremost, happy birthday to my wonderful mom! I honestly don't know anyone more generous, giving or good with people. I like to think of myself as being generous, giving and good with people, but I've got nothing on her . She schools me, bigtime. Some of the unique things that make my mom my mom: She loves my children absolutely, which is a joy and a comfort to me. When she is around, they prefer her to me. She would rather be with her grandchildren than out with the adults, but does not relax when they are around. It's constant counting heads, making snowcones, taking off too-warm clothing, changing diapers, getting drinks. It's exhausting, and she's good at it. And she loves it. (I'm pretty sure.) She hates flying, but flies all over the place, because travel and culture and enriching experiences and seeing family trump her fears every time. She also hates bridges. And swimming. And confrontation. And cooking. And bad grammar. And dopey people. And a...
