It's A Jungle Out There!

A few months back 

Lovely Lilah and Mama helped Aunt Kelly prepare.

All in anticipation of this little guy...

Welcome Baby Buck-A-Roo!!!

Tough Times With The Canines

Teething is tough!

Sleepless nights = Daytime drives

Lucky for us, 

a drizzly day spent winding up the roads 

of a Fall leaf-changing canyon, 

 sipping Pumpkin Spice coffee 

was just what Little Lilah 

(minus the coffee) 

and her sleep-deprived parents needed.

Hope your weekend plans are pain-free!

Thursdays Threads Three Ways

The striped shirt.

Much like everyone else lately, I am drawn to stripes like flies to...

well, you get the point!

Stripes can sometimes be a little tricky.
The key is to make sure they are in proportion to your body.
(Example: Petite = thinner stripes)

Here's my take on one of the many striped shirts I own:

Striped Shirt: Target

Weekend wear counts as fashion right?

Only if you sport your weekend wear perfecting a cheerleading style jump for joy!

We're Bringin' Sexy Back

Thanks again Aunt Devon!

We foresee some interesting first dates in Lovely Lilah's future?

(That's right - Little Lilah is grubbin' on Chicken Saag, Lamb Vindaloo, 

Baingan Bharta, Saffron rice and Garlick Naan from our favorite indian restaurant, Bombay House.)

Paper or Plastic?

When Mama forgets to pack a bib

(not expecting to stop for lunch at KFC of all places to have Lilah's first fast-food adventure)

it come down to two choices...

Paper = Napkin

or

Plastic = To-Go Bag

As you can see we opted for the latter.

Here's to hoping this picture doesn't circulate around the internet

 and get lumped into one of those funny yet simultaneously disturbing photo galleries labeled 

"parenting gone wrong"?

You know, the kind that might prompt someone to call DCFS 

and report that they saw a parent tie a plastic bag around their childs neck?!

Oh, but if you are going to call, 

let's get one thing straight...

make sure the first complaint you register 

is the heart-disease-in-the-making 

associated with an 11 month old chowing on deep-fried chicken and processed potato flakes at KFC!

I feel like I need to wash the grease off my hands just looking at the picture!

Even Lilah looks a little worried about what she consumed?!

And thanks creepy guy eating lunch alone 

for pretending to be oblivious to the crazy camera action going on behind you.

Farmers Market

This past weekend, 

we took advantage of the beautiful Indian Summer we are having 

and headed to the local farmer's market 

to pick up some local produce...

and get our grub on!

Fresh-squeezed mint-limeade

Sometimes Papa Bear forgets to share, but Little Lilah quickly reminds him.

Not too sure about the whole steer-ropin' thing.

She did however manage to stay on for "8 Seconds" - eat your heart out Luke Perry!

Salted Caramel French Macaroons

Pretty cupcake liner/doily decorations
(may have to try that for Lilah Belle's birthday party?)

We 100% agree!

We've Got You On Our "Radar...

...and we love you!

Happy Birthday Grandpa G. !!!
