i am jealous...

of people with nice cameras.

Like Darby.  First off you have a cute name like Darby. 

And and an awesome camera. And a super cute house and family.

So this is my lame reason for not posting a lot lately....jealousy.  

My camera is dumb, and lame and takes 400 seconds to actually take a picture of Josie after I push the button.  Therefore, I get NO actual cute pictures because the smile or funny moment has already occurred 400 seconds ago when I pressed the button for the first time.

A little shirt-less dancing.  Sorry she is a wild woman at times and no silly dress was going to hold her back from break dancing.

I used to be jealous of people with closets.  Especially, custom closets.  Now, I am one of those people.  I cannot tell you how exciting it is to see all of my clothes in one place.  There were many faithful long lost friends that I have reconnected with....my clothing budget is thankful!

But of course my Josephine is precious and we have cute pictures despite my lame camera. 

Josie enjoying the new closet...it is her favorite place to hide and play babies.

These seems very simple and ordinary to many of you.  But to Russ and I it is like a Christmas miracle.  We went from sharing a TINY closet to sharing this custom (Yes, my handy husband built it.) closet.  It is amazing an area for my dresses, made of sweet smelling cedar and lots of room for both seasons clothes!  A girl cannot ask for much more....
