I was up super early this morning helping Garth with his costume and driving him to work (his costume made riding his motorcycle to work unsafe and impractical, and you know how safe and practical he is…)
There will be photos of our costumes later! I am [...]

Today is my Momma’s birthday! She’s a fabulous mother, and a stupendous grandmother.
I love her bunches!

We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday. They warmed up the goo for me, which was really considerate. It was pouring rain outside and I was early and Garth was late so he almost missed it and entered looking like he’d been swimming. Below are a few of the photos that we [...]

Garth was a super sport today in modeling 20 newly created bow ties for me this morning in the really intense Florida sun. So I made him some peaches and cream, and then he took a little nap on our front porch, using my pumpkin as a pillow. This kid can sleep anywhere, [...]

Saturday was the Correy Station Navy Birthday Ball. In true Laura fashion I spent the whole morning and the previous evening working on my dress. I couldn’t wear anything that I already had in the closet because I have no waist. So I cut up a Michelangelo wedding dress that I’d thrifted [...]

I pulled these Dorothy-esque shoes from the back of my closet today to wear them around the house and break my feet in for the Navy Ball this Saturday. I was tickled to find this note tucked inside:

I have the coolest Mom in the world. =)
