ok, so maybe i've given up.

seriously, not having the internet makes this impossible. however! if you're on instagram, follow me @msfrannyglass for gems like these. if you're not, i'm uploading these photos to flickr as well. the link on the far left of the page "the bigger picture" will take you to my flickr page. i just won't always be posting them here (like... at all!).

































rocket turned 21 months old yesterday. the time is flying.

<3
tiff.

a brief reappearance.

hi. i have no internet at my apartment. i also have an 18 month old. i... won't be posting here very much due to my in person life being much more awesome than my online life.

:)

mom-o turns 25:


rocket and dad-o slide down sliding rock:


mom-o, wednesday, and rocket spend some time coloring with sharpies:

teasers.

mother's day...


and pure awesomeness.

back-date.

things that happened in april: rocket and i moved into our own apartment, my mom got older (35?), and we took off to the farm and essentially fell off the face of the earth. though i think it was moving that gave us the initial shove. here are some pictures and videos from april :)























more to come from the recent past!

excuse us.

where, oh WHERE, have we been? well, rocket got the chicken pox (i think) and the stomach flu (i KNOW) this week. and then i got the stomach flu. and we are both just now starting to feel like we might pull through. so... a couple of things.

first, i meant to clarify after that last post with the dear abby type deal about motherhood... i did not post that as any type of booya! at all the delightful people i know who do not have children. in fact, i WAS ONE OF THOSE people. the reason i reposted was because i identified so strongly with the in-depth description of motherhood given in the article. THAT is how i feel. THAT is what i do with my time. that. there. FINALLY! i could never have said it so well. so clearly.

i hope no one was offended. i wish i could have cleared that up sooner, but i literally heard Rbaby spew his dinner about 45 seconds after i hit "publish post" on that one.

SECOND, and much more importantly... yesterday, during a moment of pillow diving bliss, i took a picture of rocket and... HE LOOKED LIKE ME!!!! see...


this is just what little me looked like. here's a closer look...


this is so incredibly exciting because it ALMOST NEVER HAPPENS. in fact, the last time it happened rocket couldn't even hold his head up. i tried finding the picture in my iphoto library and gave up. that's how long ago it was. here's how happy rocket was when i told him the last picture looked like mom-o...


just kidding. that's just how excited he gets when you say peekaboo!
:)

i feel all warm and fuzzy.

because i just read this...


i'm sorry, but that's as big as it gets on here. click on the picture and it will take you to flickr where you can see it in a larger, readable size :)

seen here. via here.

fifteen months old today.

time keeps flying. this guy is running everywhere and hamming it up constantly. what a little bud to have.

(i love this picture. it's backlit and you can't see his face very well, but you don't have to look closely to see the joy pouring out of him. he's like that just about all the time, but especially when he's running with a stick in his hand.)
