Holiday Dress

I bought Katie's dress tonight. I went to Kohl's and looked at a ton of dresses (50% off sale + extra 15% off coupon, couldn't resist a trip) but none of them looked as good as they did online. Until I found this one. I know you're not a fan of velour, but this is so soft and the whole outfit seems dressy, but comfortable and I'm thinking my little toddler(!) will have a much better time in a dress that she can play on the floor in, rather than one that I'm constantly worried she'll ruin. And if she ruins this, oh well. It cost me about $10. She already has both black & white tights so all we need are some black mary janes in her current size. And maybe some silver hair barrettes. :) Are you going with the dresses you got the girls last year?

31 Books

Okay, so I'm going to do it. I've set a goal to read 31 books by my 31st birthday. I was going to wait until November 1st to start, but I've already started TTW (I'm loving it!) and I know that will take me well past November 1st to finish. My 31st birthday is in just over ten months, so about 3 books a month. Should be totally doable, but I've been reading in the evenings and I just can't stay awake! Sad, I know. Anyhow, care to join me? I don't think asking you to read 31 books by your birthday is quite fair, since it is a few months before mine, but you could read them by my birthday too! :)

A Few More Pictures

Here are more of the ones that my mom didn't like, but I thought were pretty good. Have you heard anything from your photographer yet?

In no particular order...
