Christmas in a-town

concrete jungle where dreams are made of...

post wedding bliss and being up for almost 36 consecutive hours {mini cat nap in between long-A drives with bestie holly} left me in new jersey. best time ever. sleeping in a twin bed given up by my favorite little chicken. waking up for toast and eggs. then back to sleep - no baby was waking me up this day. playing with ella & fia twinners {thanks for the hand-me-downs V - em wore the jean skirt today. drop dead gorgeous.} guest at arnold {other arnolds} family dinner. loved. great discussion with seminary peeps of common liberal ground. the church is good. more sleep. starbucks run after school drop off for the chicken. miss him. drive to new york. 2 wrong turns, even with my gps, & 3 radio listens to jay-z's empire state of mind later i arrived at kassey's casa in astoria, ny. what happened next was the stuff of babyless-mommy-on-the-town legend {i.e. nothing too crazy, everything liberating}. fun.

took some pictures at the wedding i was at this past week. i had the honor of doing the bride's hair and getting to run around with the bridesmaids for a few days before. i love these people so much i can't even stand it. so much that i took five days leave from my preciousness. here are a few pics of the happy couple. taking pictures of them is so fun - they are so beautiful.

these shoes were a special gift from the groom's parents.
so she wouldn't be barefoot and pregnant {she's not pregnant btw, nor does she plan to be soon} i love that melissa is the kind of girl who would get shoes the day before her wedding then decide to wear them the day of ... plus they're fierce.

gorgeous.

what baby? GroBaby!

after much thought and trepidation, i am ready to take the plunge into cloth diapering. i have been afraid of the washing and cleaning of icky diapers. however, many friends do it - and successfully. and, i have made my choice in diapering goodness - GroBaby! i like the snaps. i like the colors. i like the inner liner-ness. seems like less mess.



and they're giving away a free bio soaker for posting! i can't wait to try them - being that i've been putting off making the leap for a few months now.


here's to the diaper revolution.
