Your girls are adorable, and very pink. I like it.

Kyla said…
Gorgeous girls. I hope you enjoyed the break!(which if it was as busy for you as it was for me, wasn't really any sort of break! LOL)
Kat said…
Now that looks like a great spring break!
alejna said…
So, in other words, this time you're not using your words?

It looks like a grand time. I love that last shot of your girls in their pink finery and cool shades

I'm just crazy about that last photo. i love that they are in the same dress, but when you look at the sweaters, the shades, and the shoes--and their expressions--you can so tell that one is indeed Patience, and the other Persistence.

I love the picture of the girls with their sunglasses! They look so much like they love themselves and each other. Great pictures!

Karen Jensen said…
What a great weekend! I must say that the last picture is my favorite.

That pic of the girls being all girlie with their shades on is breaking my heart in two.

It's funny, I was thinking to myself yesterday that there are places in this world where people can have outdoor egg hunts. How grand it would be to have an outdoor egg hunt...and there you have offered proof of its grandness.
Oh, I LOVE those dresses, they're adorable!!!

Oh man, were your fingers BURNING to type? lol how on earth did you do it? Your girls are so cute.

Your girls are So cute! I love the dresses... makes me want to dress my boys in girls' clothes even more!!
Gwen said…
Julie, you really didn't use any words! I am shocked and impressed! lol.

I love Pers's pants/shorts (or is that a skirt-like item) ensemble. I have a daughter who wears such things regularly, since we still have snow on the ground here but the siren song of spring clothing is a strong one.

But you guys? have actual spring flowers! And gorgeous Easter fairies to pose in front of them!
Lovely! And those shades -- too cute!

Cancer's Calling Card

Foreword: I'm not a medical person, or any kind of expert. This post shouldn't be taken as God's word carved in stone by Moses. In other words, don't consider it to be any kind of authority or use it to treat, diagnose, or select medications. Do your own research and talk to your doctor, an actual expert, who, you know, went to medical school and stuff. This post is merely my best understanding of cancer and cancer treatment and prevention, as related to our situation, based on what I've learned from reading and talking to doctors. Author's Note: If you aren't interested in the cancer discussion and the things I learned, and only want to know the outcome of our appointment with the oncologist yesterday, skip to the end. I've divvied this up by sections, so go to the last section. What would you do if one day a postcard arrived in the mail to warn you that sometime in the next three years you would be diagnosed with cancer? Would you believe it? Change an...

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Quorum

After being confronted with written evidence, Julie admits that she is a total attention whore. In some things, in some ways, sometimes I look outward for validation of my worth and existence. I admit it. It's my weak spot, my vanity spot . If you say I am clever, comment on a post, offer me an award, mention me on your blog, reply to a comment I left on your blog, or in any way flatter me as a writer...I am hopelessly, slavishly devoted to you. I will probably even add you to my blogroll just so everyone can see the list of all the cool kids who actually like me . The girl, she knows she is vain in this regard , but after much vanity discussion and navel-gazing , she has decided to love herself anyway, as she is (ironically) and will keep searching for (1) internal validation and (2) her first person . Until I reach a better point of self-actualization, though, may I just say that this week you people have been better than prozac and chocolate (together, with a side of white choc...

In defense of vanity...I think

Do you have one of those issues where you argue with yourself? Where you just aren't sure what you actually think because there are so many messages and opinions on the topic around you? I have more than one like this. However, there is one topic that has been struggling to the top of my mind recently: vanity and perceived vanity. Can vanity be a good thing? Vanity has historically been truly reviled. Vanity is number seven of the Seven Deadly Sins. It's the doppleganger of number seven on the Seven Holy Virtues list: humility. There are many moralistic tales of how vanity makes you evil and brings about a spectacular downfall. Consider the lady who bathed in the blood of virgins to maintain her youth. Google Borgia+vanity and find plenty. The Brothers Grimm and Disney got in on the act too. The Disney message seems to be: the truly beautiful don't need to be vain. They are just naturally eye-catchingly gorgeous. And they are all gorgeous. Show me the Reubenesque Princess. ...
