1. Let's talk about being messy
I am. I'm trying to combat it. I'm not dirty. There's a difference. But I've been trying to just keep our house at maintenance level, and it's hard! And we don't have a very big house! Laundry, toys, dishes, more dishes, more laundry, and more toys take up like, 12 of my 14 waking hours. Thus making blogging a little tricky. I don't do resolutions because I don't do them...but I'd really like to be less of a domestic mess in 2012. (this should be easy with the addition of a newborn).
2. Jesus knew what he was doing associating with the Eastern people
Our friends from the East came to visit (thankful they could find us after all these places we've lived.) Christina brought a real delicacy called dolma that is a huge giant pain for her to make. And one of my favorite things to eat. Mark helped with the final reveal.
Mmmmmmm.
Had fun hanging out with our buddies!!
3. I love food
I've been OBSESSED with these sandwiches. There is this yummy eggless, sugarless awesome sourdough around here and I've been making goat cheese and tomato and spinach paninis. And serving with this balsamic dressing. So yummy. I can't even talk about it or I'm gonna have to go make one again.
Another one of my obsessions from waaaay back is an Entenmann's raspberry coffee cake. (hi college friends :)) My friend Bree found this cute little mini Ente-man. Yum. They didn't sell this delicacy in Louisiana-so boy was it a special treat. (i realize this has every possibly horrible ingredient. high fructose hydrogenated preservatives. i don't eat them that often so just leave me alone.)
4. Polka anyone?
Ok, this was funny. We went to gymnastics and my girls were wearing brand new polka dotted outfits from their cousins-then Natalie walked in wearing a-black and pink polka dotted outfit, and then Annie and Paige were ALSO wearing pink polka dotted outfits!!!! We were very amused at the irony. Except Reese. She wasn't much amused about anything.
5. Horsey is always fun.
5. I need an alarm on my makeup drawer.
6. Marriage
I love this post by Ann Voskamp on marriage. It made me all weepy. Thanks, Laurie.
7. Children
We don't often dress all alike, but we do always all hold hands on the way into stores and this day I was tickled by how much I like these girls. :)

love those sandwiches!! Where is the bread from again? cute post.
cute matching outfit girls...and that marriage post from ann v. was pretty incredible...love you!
I am jealous of that last picture because a)your girls are ALWAYS in adorable- frequently matching- outfits. and b) I can't WAIT until all 3 of my kids can hold hands and walk anywhere together. Which will happen just in time to free up my hands to start carrying another baby. *Someday* I will be able to walk into a store without carrying anyone...
I love the girls blue matching outfits. And I can't believe the polka dot picture wasn't coordinated ahead of time. So cute! As for the toys, it's so tough managing that and the only thing that keeps me semi sane is having lots of labeled bins. And keeping half the toys in storage and rotating them. Good luck!
I can't even get two kids to hold hands and walk across the church parking lot, I'd lose them in a store fo' sho'.
Love your list. When my kids were your kids ages and Jeff would come home to a messy house I would just look him straight in the eye and say, I was a very good mom today - not a very good housekeeper.
You're adorable! Love that marriage post.
Oh and I want one of those sandwiches. I'll bake you cookies or make you peanut butter balls and we can exchange our tasty goods. :)
Reese's makeup application made me lol. Happy that you got your Entenmann's fix. I always love hearing about your tasty treats. So glad to have you back! xoxo
holy cuteness! i love that last photo of your 3 adorables ;-)
