Happy 3rd Anniversary to the New Parents

3 years ago, today,

Chelsea and Austin 

were married at the beautiful Swan House 
in Atlanta, GA.

Surrounded by family and friends…

they placed rings on each other's fingers 
and 

 vowed 

to have and to hold 
from this day forward.

Little did they know that
three years later,

they would have a baby girl... 

to have and to hold

from this day forward.

Meet Ansley Mary Hyatt

born September 25, 2017 at 5:12 am.

Anywhoooo…..

It is very fitting that on this special day,
their anniversary, 

Chelsea and Austin 
buckled Ansley into her carseat 

for her first car ride
and brought her home 
from the hospital. 

The next chapter of their life together 
begins now

as a family of three.


Happy 3rd Anniversary,
Chelsea and Austin.
This is one anniversary you will always remember
and the best present 
you could ever give each other.
XO

Talk Like A Pirate Day 2017

Shiver Me Timbers...

I can't let the day go by without acknowledging 

that today is

“Talk Like a Pirate Day."

It may be a fake holiday...

like fake news 

but arghly fun.

Ahoy there

seadogs, wenches,

pillagers and plunderers...

Don’t be scurvy scum. 

Join the fun.

“Talk Like a Pirate"

til day is done.

I hope me mateys 

have been talkin' the talk

or ye be

walkin' the gangplank walk.

Anywho ho ho

and a bottle of rum

Talking like Capt. Blackbeard isn't bloody hard.

Just takes some improper English 

and a few

Aaaaarrrrgggghhhs

Buccaneers, repeat after me....

(in a gruff and salty voice)

“Ahoy mateys.

Weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen.

Grab ye some grub and grog and 

join me on the poop deck."

Yo Ho Ho

Where's the bottle of rum?

Drink up, me hearties.

September Addition

It's September!  Back to School! 

New shoes, styles, supplies and smells!

Mums the word…but

back in the day

I loved getting the kids ready to go 
back-to-school. woo hoo

First was the trip to Staples which I would consider the 

Highlighter of the back-to-school experience.  

Oh my heavenly hole punch …I still love love LOVE 

the smell of that store.  

Some people like the smell of cut grass, 

some like the smell of skunks (seriously) 

so it's not so cray cray that I would like the aroma of 

#2 lead pencil mixed with 
binders, file folders and filler paper.  

note to self:  Eau de School Supplies

bottle it…someone will buy it.

Next up were haircuts…trims for the girls…

and the ever fashionable bowl cut for Colin(boy).

Why did I bother taking Colin for a haircut...

I could have saved myself $ and time.

My set of Kitchen Aid mixing bowls were the perfect template.

just increase the quart size as he grows.

Taking them for their 1st day 
back-to-school outfits was fun...

mostly when they would wear what I suggested... 

but the trip to Bob's was the sole event for all of us...
for them...choosing new sneakers aka tennis shoes

for me...watching Colin dash around the store 

to make sure his new sneaks were up to the Colin challenge.

Anywhoooo…..

This September brings a heavenly addition into our world…

Baby girl Hyatt…

due September 24th

and we couldn't be happier.

Congrats to Chelsea-momma and Austin-daddy to-be...

In a true mathematical expression...
your addition will multiply the joy in your life exponentially.

I know…I know….

it might be hard to beat the smell of 

looseleaf paper in a Trapper Keeper…

but I'm prettttty sure...

NOTHING in this world 

beats 

the smell of a newborn baby.
