Meet Wyatt.

HEY Wyatt!! HEY Anna!
Meet Asa’s big brother Wyatt. Cutie Patootie! This little guy is so funny and so smart too! I just love talking with him. He gets all these funny ideas into his head like going to the mall and putting pennies into the pay phone to call the fire department ONLY if the Children’s Museum is on fire. Hilarious! And he LOVES the word sure and uses it in all these different ways… I just love hearing him say it. I sure do. I suuuure do.
Here’s some more pics of us hanging out around Boston.
We sure do have a fun time!

little people that I love.

Had a visit with my Isabel and my favorite little monkey this weekend! BOY are they getting big!! As some of you may remember, a few years ago I started nannying for Isabel when she was only 16 months old! (She is such a sweet pea. LOVE HER to pieces.) 2 months later, her little brother Alistair was born and it’s been true love ever since. They are the happiest kids on the block and it’s so fun to be able to watch them grow up. Last May Alistair was baptized and I am now a proud Godmother!! It’s so special and now I feel like I’ll always have a special bond with him. I’ll never forget how little Alistair was the day he came home from the hospital…the teeniest, most precious little thing!

Aaaanyways, I went over to Charlestown on Saturday to hang out and give them their Christmas/birthday presents. They were so excited it wasn’t even funny. Don’t you just wish you were a little kid again sometimes? The pure joy and excitement from a gift of a flashlight. Imagine!

Check out Alistair’s excitement!

Isabel… 51/2 years old now!

And I absolutely have to add these pics I found while looking through my old snapfish albums… some of the kids (and Lamby too of course) when I first knew them, back in 2005-2006. Oh the memories! It doesn’t get much cuter than this….

LOVE: dakota fanning

So as some of you know, I am a ginormous Ellen fan. I try and watch the show EVERYday. Well yesterday Dakota Fanning was a guest and, oh man, she is all grown up now! She’s 15 and it seems like she’s turning into quite a lady. I’ve always really liked Dakota Fanning, I mean how can you not? She’s a great actress, super cute, and really down to earth (unlike some of those other child actresses out there. Lindsay Lohan? Gross.). In I Am Sam I just fell in love with her and I’ve been following her ever since. Her latest film is the new twilight series movie New Moon, which I am SO EXCITED to see! She plays Jane, one of the villains, and it will be interesting to watch her as one of the “bad guys”, a different kind of role than she usually plays. I found an old youtube video of her on Ellen from a few years back. She is so hysterical and adorable, you can’t help but love her!! She is an amazing actress and I can’t wait to see what kind of film she’ll do next and what roles she will play in the future.

Here’s a clip from when she was 9… it’s super funny!

Kid Couture.

I just got the crewcuts holiday catalog in the mail today and everything is so precious I can hardly stand it. I just want to be a small being so I can wear all those adorable headbands, sparkly jewlery and cute puffy, fluffy skirts and pretend to be Fancy Nancy.

I was in the store a few weekends ago and picked up some necklaces from the crewcuts section. I couldn’t help myself they were so cute. That, and I couldn’t afford the adult versions. Poor is me. No, but really, I think the necklaces I bought were more my everyday style. I do love the fancier women’s jewelry but it’s just not practical for everyday wear. Unless your the Queen of England, and even then it’s a little over the top.
Here are the necklaces I bought:

Yes, I realize I got the same necklace in 3 different colors. But they were 30% off 2 or more and I hardly ever pass up a deal like that. Plus, I had trouble deciding which one I liked the best. Who knows, maybe I’ll give one as a Christmas gift? Ehhh, I feel separation anxiety already just thinking about this idea so don’t get your hopes up. Just saying.
