Yes, he really is that cute. And awesome!


Not my kids, I know. But the art deco-ness of Miami was amazing. So colorful and fun.

This is how I shot most of my non-beach photos!

I want to spank her all day long for being so perfect.



This was the view from our patio. We were right on the beach. So amazing.

BJ was so excited!

Mia was amazed!

Did you know?
Every 4 minutes one person is diagnosed with a blood cancer.
An estimated 139,860 people in the United States will be diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma in 2009. New cases of leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma account for 9.5 percent of the 1,479,350 new cancer cases diagnosed in the United States this year*.
Overall incidence rates per 100,000 population for leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma are almost identical for data reported in 2008 and 2009 [(leukemia 12.2, 2009 vs.12.3, 2008); (NHL, 19.5, each year); (Hodgkin lymphoma, 2.8, each year); (myeloma, 5.6, each year)].
Leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma will cause the deaths of an estimated 53,240 people in the United States this year. These blood cancers will account for nearly 9.5 percent of the deaths from cancer in 2009 based on the 562,340 total cancer-related deaths.
Every ten minutes, someone dies from a blood cancer. This statistic represents nearly 146 people each day, or more than six people every hour. Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children and young adults under the age of 20. In general, the likelihood of dying from most types of leukemia, lymphoma or myeloma decreased from 1996 to 2005 (the most recent data available).
*Facts and statistics from Leukemia, Lymphoma, Myeloma Facts 2009-2010, June 2009.

Total World Domination

Apparently the other inhabitants of Mommy World were not too happy.


Please ignore the messy refrigerator and the fact that we're all still in our pajamas. In MOMMY world, that would totally be acceptable every single day. We'd always be able to ice cream without even thinking of gaining one measly pound, and there would totally be little fairies who came along and cleaned up messes without having to be reminded 12, 487 times.

The need is critical: An estimated 912,938 people in the United States are living with,

myeloma. Every four minutes, someone new is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every
10 minutes, someone dies.
Leukemia causes more deaths than any other cancer among children under the age of
20. Lymphomas are the most common blood cancers and incidence increases with age.
The survival rate for myeloma is only 37.1 percent.
