This Day In History

I’m taking a day of rest.  In the meantime, I thought you might enjoy seeing what this day has looked like before.

November 8, 2005

Our very first family portrait ever happened on this day 4 years ago.  Gigi looks thrilled.

1150 - Pink Hat - 11-19

Best.  Hat.  Ever.  I’m considering having another baby girl, just so someone can wear that hat again.  The damn cat won’t hold still.

November 8, 2006

It seems November 8th was a big day for hats.

Obviously there was an open bar at our friends’ wedding.  This is the last time I ever ate Taco Bell.   Did I mention it was an open bar?

November 8, 2007

Well, who’s this little nugget?


Gigi’s working the collar, even at 2 years old.

November 8, 2008

My little Elton John.

Gigi in costume?  I don’t believe it.

See you soon with our memories of  November 8, 2009!

    LOVE Gigi’s hat. Abso-freaking-lutely adorable. And I also love your family picture! Awww. So cute.
    Nov. 8th is my half birthday! Again, I know I’m a big fat loser for recognizing that fact. What am I, six? “I’m six AND A HALF now, Mom!”

  21. Katy says:

    I love all of your November 8ths! :) I also love how hair gets shorter the more kids you have. I’m sure mine will too whenever we are blessed with little babyfeets..not for a while! PS I love that hat too..you should learn to make those hats and then sell them! A little momma pea side biz.. :) Super cute.

  22. Sammie says:

    I hope you feel better soon and get lots of rest. I love the baby pics of your girls. Thanks for sharing.
    I used to take hours to style my hair, now I just go with the “fro”. Charlie was actually laughing at it today. So what, I have big hair – at least I still have mine (he’s loosing his).

  23. Holly says:

    the only thing that could have made this better was if that first picture was from olan mills.

    I vote for a baby boy pea! You could put the hat on him, he’d be too young to be emotionally scarred, haha.
