Tonight’s full moon is the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. It offers anyone with clear skies an opportunity to identify easy-to-see features on the moon. This being the first full moon of 2010, it is also known as the wolf moon, a moniker dating back to Native American culture and the notion…
Last Saturday the girls were playing and running around their room and we were in the next room when suddenly Sofia and Samantha came into our bedroom and Samantha told us she hurt her head and John picked her up and rubbed the back of her head, he saw blood coming from a gash on…
WOW, poor thing! So ummm, how does that work? How do the staples come out?
Poor baby! She's a tough one, though! My girls are definitely tougher than my boys…hehehe! Glad she's okay!
Poor Pumpkin! Oh my goodness Jonni! I saw you reply to a post on ILP regarding Blogger…so I thought I would click on your blog:) I am absolutely stunned at how you have customized it. Love the flash header! You should should make a small blog designing biz for people who can't figure out how to customize Blogger:) Great job and beautiful girls!
Oh No! I'm so glad she's OK. I can certainly relate how terrifying that is. Eriks fell and gashed his cheek almost right under his eye at 23 months old. Luckily no stitches but they did glue it shut. He still has a small scar. It scared me to death because he could've damaged his eye to the point of blindness.
The gifts the girls got look awesome. Love the shirts.
Poor girl!! Hope she's feeling well!
Cute Valentine's shirts! 
Poor Samantha! What a trooper though. That's one brave, special little girl you have (well, make that TWO brave and special little girls).
OH NO….poor baby!!! What a brave one she is….. sounds like she handled it all pretty well!
What a cute vday package….I love the shirts.,.can't wait to see the girlies in those:)
Have a great week!

Lisa
I have found that the pain is always greater for parents (and grandparents)so far those accidents have not needed stitches for Lil Orchid but I couldn't let her look into my eyes during all the exploritory tests when she was younger. She has always had this keen sense of studing your face. Sometimes she can really freak strangers out because she will stare right through them. Hang in there and tell John I'm really proud of him. Brave Daddy! Brave Little Girl!!
jonni…i have the shivers just looking….
hope she is healing well…
norie
Poor poor little baby!!! The good ol' Toddler years. Hang in there mom!!!!
Oh, no! Poor little thing! And poor you! Nothing wrong with 15 minute cell phone updates when something like that happens. I hope you let her eat some of those sweet treats to distract her.
Awwww, poor girl! We had a similar incident when our LadyBug was 4. She was "sumo" wrestling with her brothers and got 7 stitches. They had to shave her pretty little head and the hair had finally grown long enough to do real honest to goodness ponytails 
Glad Samantha is okay – it's always harder on the Momma
Love all the pics – I've been reading just not always stopping to comment. Finally have ALL FIVE of the kids (and Daddy!) healthy at once
OMGoodness! Poor Sam! Sounds like she handled things like a trooper! Go Sam!!!!
LOVE the Valentine's gifts! Thise shirts are adorable!
Been thinking of you Jonni! Give the girls hugs from us!
Sofia and Samantha attended their first dance class at our local YMCA on January 9th. They had a ball and absolutely loved it. When we read the class information it said that street clothes would be fine to wear and wouldn’t you know when we show up almost everyone has a leotard and tutu! I…
i think john has found his true calling!!! i can't believe how he is "working it" up there in the teachers' line!!!hahahaha
norie
LOL…they are sooooo cute!!!!
oh my goodness, how cute are they!!!
Thank for sharing!
I love these girls!!!!! How fun.
Isn't it just a riot that something as simple as shuffling across the room turns into something Amazing! Graceful! Miraculous! when it's our children we are talking about? Hee hee. The video was absolutely adorable! Even more adorable was John's pride in them.
Oh, they are so cute together! I love Sophia turning around every few minutes to say, "Hi, Daddy!":) Those girls are so precious!
Oh how cute are they!!! so glad you captured it on video:) I need to sign Sarah up….she wants to take ballet too!
Hope you all have a great week!
xo,
Lisa
Very Cute! Looks like their 1st class went well.
too cute!
What cracks me up the most is John! I think he had more fun than the girls did!
Missing you!!
Hugs,
Carla
What cute ballerinas! I love it. Did you really post this at 1 in the morning?
Joy
OMG that is too cute! I love how Sophia just has to hold herself back from running up to her daddy for a hug the whole time…too precious!
Ugggh! I have fallen so far behind in posting to my poor blog. Still have Thanksgiving and Christmas pictures to upload. I have decided that this year I am going to set goals for myself in regards to photography. I am working on using my camera in 100% Manual mode and will not use any…
ClickinMoms also rocks! I like it better than ILP
Congrats on your Dream..like my momma always sez – You Can Do Anything! And it appears you already have a natural talent 
You will be a fabulous photographer!! It's been so fun watching you explore photography and watch it become a passion. Yeah, I'm so excited for you. Hugs girl!
You go-Girl. You're already a great photgrapher. Might as well go pro.
No doubt you will do GREAT, you already take beautiful pictures. Not worried that your dream will come true.
HUGS
Jonni. I thought you were already a professional! You may need to know more about your camera but wow… you take absolutely gorgeous photo's already
Sometimes we need to admit and say our goals in order to achieve them:) I know you will do it…… you are very talented my friend!! Hope you had some fun with your 28mm
xo,
Lisa
I know you will do it… your work is already fantastic.
Sigh….what you said, I only say in my head. Good for you!
Oh you'd be a great photographer! Your photos are amazing! Now you just need to give classes too, and I'll be the first to sign up!
I think that is an awesome goal! And totally achievable! Another forum you might like is http://www.photographymentor.com great stuff on the biz…(you probably already know about that site).
Happy New Year!
Very good for you. I am now of the mind that I will have one big hobby and no more. I cannot multitask as I multitask with my kid.
oh Jonni, this is a PERFECT choice for you! Watch out Jasmine Star!
am selling my 16-35L Zoom Super Wide Angle Lens. It is a great lens and I have only occasionally used it since I purchased it brand new in February 2009. The lens is in fantastic condition with no scratches as I take very good care of my lenses. It is an L-series lens, Canon’s top-end…
dang. i missed the boat on THIS one :O) though my next lens is going to be a fisheye.
If I could, I would.
ooooh what did you get instead, I covet the 24-70mm
Drooling here….. I wish I could take advantage of this deal….it is a great one!! Unfortunately, not in the financial budget with china just around the corner.
I am sure someone will snatch this baby up:)
Have a wonderful weekend!
xo,
Lisa
