whoopsies.
oops... I.... did it again. fell of the face of the earth that is. whoopsies.
well, I'm done groveling/making false promises of being a better blogger.
truth? I'm swamped.
I don't know when I'm not going to feel like I'm drowning and until then -- blogging is likely to be sporadic. not to say I don't miss my sweet little space on the interwebs. I do. I always think about how I should blog and what I want to blog about (seriously? SO MUCH)... but, alas, time is not on my side.
oh well.
here's to making a conscious effort at getting back at it [who needs sleep?]
with all that being said - here's what's going on....
though life is busy, life is grand.... AND I'm 30. what? 30. seriously? I remember when that seemed so far away and I got anxious about the idea of getting older -- now? I'm thrilled. I am so excited for my thirties and can honestly say I am so content and excited about where I am right now.
I have an amazing family, beautiful daughter, handsome and sweet husband, fulfilling career and a smile on my face.
so what else is going on? well, I don't talk about work/my job a lot on the blog, but I will share that I recently got a promotion! so exciting and just makes me thrilled to know that my hard work did not go unnoticed and all of the hours and effort were worth it. I feel like I'm leaving my mark and my career is taking a turn that is serendipitous and fruitful. BUT, with all that being said -- I am swamped, my plate is full and I feel like I'm constantly going, going, going when it comes to work [hence the lack of blogging].
Ms. Penelope is so fun, so sweet and so interactive - she brightens up our days more than words could ever describe. I feel like it's so cliche and something that we always say but she just keeps getting more and more fun. She truly is a little person now and I love the time I get to spend with her. I feel so blessed that she goes to school the building over from my office and that I am so close. We've been going strong with nursing for the past nine months [another area where I feel so blessed, I know that we've been so lucky to have such an easy time with it and I do NOT take it for granted]. I love the time that I get to spend with her during the day nursing her and I'm so proud of us and our journey [another thing I WANT to blog about, hopefully eventually].
What else? DJ -- oh DJ, where do I begin. I love that man. He drives me crazy, but I love him. We're settling into our roles as parents and this new part of our partnership. I love having him as a husband and I love watching him as a dad - Penny is definitely a daddy's girl in the making. Her eyes light up for him and I love their interactions. I am also so proud of DJ and his work, he has been definitely putting the hours in as well and it is paying off - he continues to grow and thrive in his career and I am so inspired by his drive, creativity and intellect [cheesy, but SO true].
why do I feel like I'm writing one of those Christmas letters to family? barf. with that - I'll stop here. more soon. I promise to post seven & eight month Penelope updates [aka picture dumps] soon and maybe I'll finally finish my 2012 in review post -- considering we're a month and half into 2013. oops.
anyways, I'll leave you with a few adorable pictures of my almost NINE month old (?!)...
until next time - goodnight poodles....

Penny's Six Month Photos/Our Family Pictures!
remember Penny's adorable newborn photos?
well, the amazing Shannon Leigh Studios has created magic again...
I mean, could she BE any cuter?!
Also, Shannon was amazing enough to capture some family shots of us - here are three of my favorites!
aren't they great?
If you're in the Atlanta area and looking for a newborn/child photographer we have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Shannon Leigh Studios! Shannon is amazing and so great to work with!
Penny's First Chrismakkah Season!
that's right friends, this month Penelope celebrated her first Chrismakkuh season, here are the highlights...
first up, we went to DJ's parents house for their annual Hanukkah party, Penny rocked a huge headband, so silly but I loved it AND she had her first taste of latkes [she loved them, just like her mama and daddy]...
Penny and I also went to the Botanical Gardens and saw the lights! Such a fun night (though someone was a little sleepy)...
Penny was also my date to my work holiday party... she was quite the hit!
enjoyed sleeping in with me (and cuddling with her pup) during our vaca (we're both home from school for two weeks!)
then we took PJ to meet the big guy, yup, SANTA! she was clearly, not impressed... oh well, she was still on the nice list, I promise!
from there, we woke up on Christmas morning and celebrated Penny's first Christmas!
so there you have it. it was a ton of fun - PJ was definitely more interested in the boxes and tissue paper than the actual gifts but it was so great to celebrate the holidays with HER, she truly made the whole season more meaningful, exciting and special. we're so excited to mark another "first" off the list - and now onto plan her valentines outfits ;)
