A year ago today I was tweeting from the delivery room. Good memory. Today my poor little Hazel is sick with Croup. That barking cough scares the daylights out of me. She is all smiles despite it and daddy is on his way home with cake and balloons.
The Sea of Sunset
This is the land the sunset washes,
These are the banks of the Yellow Sea;
Where it rose, or whither it rushes,
These are the western mystery!
Night after night her purple traffic
Strews the landing with opal bales;
Merchantmen poise upon horizons,
Dip, and vanish with fairy sails.
-Emily Dickinson
An impromptu getaway with all 9 children, the last hurrah before school starts. We couldn’t let summer get away without a trip to the ocean. The weather was an unexpected gift and we had a wonderful time. We are back. With loads of photos to share.
I wonder where’s a better job than buying cake and meat,
And chocolate drops and sugar buns for little folks to eat?
And who has every day to face a finer round of care
Than buying frills and furbelows for little folks to wear?
-Edgar Albert Guest
The birthday babies eating cake in eden’s bouquet
My woodland theme on the front porch turned into a slapdash vintage theme out by the chicken house. We had a grand time despite the lopsided tablecloth & lights that lay forgotten in the planter behind the table, twinkling away. I do believe that I had too many irons in the fire on Friday.
The girls kept us in stitches the entire time. Saige and her funny expressions a hilarious contrast to Hazel’s somber ones. The girls are opposites in every way. I will need to do a whole other post on this.
Let’s start with the party dresses. Hazel wore the Ciel Bleu Gown and Saige wore the Sonnet Gown. Both are Violet’s hand me downs. Violet wore the Ciel Bleu Gown at her first birthday party and she trashed it. Lest ye think these gowns are high maintenance, think again. We wear ours for party & play, throw them in the washer and pass them down to siblings & cousins.
As usual, my plans were grander than the actual event. I had twigs and lights that lay abandoned. The girls didn’t seem to mind a bit. We did hang our vintage lace curtains and sweet eco-friendly bird garland that I purchased here. Thank you, Renée, for going the extra mile to get them to us in time!
I kept it simple with the food, white heart lollipops and old fashioned gumballs bought in bulk at Candy Warehouse. I have enough left over for 10 more parties. The cupcakes simply a box mix with whipped cream frosting and pearl sprinkles. As you can see they were a last minute act of desperation.
My gift to the girls, monogrammed silver sippy cups purchased here. A perfect keepsake and they looked elegant on the table.
I have many more photos to share in another post. It was a crazy happy day and this here seems like only yesterday. Happy birthday sweet babies, may God bless you with many many more.
This is Saige Emerald, the one-baby comedy show. Exactly one year ago I posted this. Last night we had a birthday bash for the little girls and a seafood fest with our honored guest, Great Uncle Marvin. As I was sifting through photos I came across this funny image of Saige and had to post it. She is the most expressive little thing and was thoroughly enjoying all the attention.
I hope it makes you smile

A photoshoot around here involves donkey, cat, dog and siblings in various sizes.

Hazel was feeling left out so I snapped a photo of her and her dirty little feet

I can’t believe a year has passed since these posts here. Last year at this time I was hauling Hazel around in my belly and suddenly I’m planning her 1st birthday party. She isn’t actually one until the 31st, but we will celebrate this Friday to accommodate special out-of-towners. I love planning birthday parties for this age. I’m planning a cream and white “woodsy” theme out on the front porch. I will post photos this weekend:-)
