Seriously, this week is jam packed with good stuff. Today we celebrated Easter. This is W’s 2nd Easter and he seemed to enjoy all of the to-do and the fuss of the day. We went to a small church down the road (the one that Mother has been taking W to for a couple of months now while I got some Sunday morning sleeping-in time) and it was sweet to meet his fan club of old ladies.
After the service there was an egg hunt and refreshments. I was sort of hoping for a big swell in my heart about God and stuff, but I guess I am not there yet. Still have some processing to do when it comes to where my faith is. But I know good people when I see them and this church was over-flowing with kindness. I really appreciate that.
Tomorrow is the White House Easter roll and I am wishing like crazy I had a giant sun hat to wear and wondering how a diaper change on the front lawn will go down…but honestly, I am so excited about it and hope that I can get lots of great photos to share with you & W when he is older.
Tuesday somebody turns one.
AND Mother has a job interview.
I KNOW!!!! I debated sharing that but quite frankly we could use all of the good mojo and well wishing you have to spare. It sounds like it would be a lovely job for her in a really cool place and I hope the people she is meeting with can see what an asset Mother would be on their team.
Regardless we will have cake. I’m hoping that carrot cake will be on sale by Tuesday so W can have the “baby with cake all over” experience.
Wednesday and Thursday are doctor appointments for Mother and Friday is W’s one year wellness exam. And on Sunday we are planning on another get together with my sister. (oooh. Look how casual and shit I am about that. I’m sure that will change once the day gets closer.)
See? Crazy week looms ahead. But I am ready for it. Bring it! Ready for good times and celebrating and mile-stoning and all that comes with it. (which I hope will be more than just a sugar rush)
Also, brace yourself for a photo heavy week of posting. I may be too zonked for words, but if I can share a photo that equals a thousand. Right?
In church, um, enjoying “the word”:
After church, in a field of clover:

Have fun this week. I just have to say that your mom is gorgeous. She always looks so radiant, graceful and beautiful in the little peeks we get of her. I’m sending all the good vibes your way for her to have a successful job interview. She looks like a lady ready and able to blast through any glass ceiling! Good luck Mama Cali!!!
Big week!! Will be thinking of all three of you!
Oh my goodness! What a week coming! Much luck to your mom – I hope they realize on the spot that she will make their work much better and hire her immediately!
Also, how did W get to be 1 already? I hope he enjoys his cake.
Can’t wait to see what the week brings for you! Good luck!
YAYAYAY for this week!
Woohoo! Good luck to your mom and your family!
Also, I’d like to say that what struck me most about those pictures was W sitting in a field of clover. For a moment, I seriously thought “why isn’t he sitting in a field of bluebonnets? That’s like, a tradition.” I then remembered that it’s only a tradition in Texas. Still, that kid would be so charming in a field of bluebonnets.
You and your Mom and W make an attractive trio. I hope your busy week is wonderful- and Happy Birthday W!
Good luck to your mom (and congrats for making it to the interview point).
Happy Early Birthday to W.
Can’t wait to see the pics from the White House Easter Egg roll.
And, I hope you have a wonderful meet up with your sis.
Sounds like a fabulous week.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY W!!!! AND YAY MOM!
Hoping you have a magical week!! xo
I CANNOT believe that W is turning 1 already! Where has the time gone?!? Please email me your new address so that I can send him a little something.
Good luck to your momma – I too hope they instantly realize that they have needed her all along – and how did they ever survive without her! My thoughts are with you in this whirlwind week of smilestones! Love you!!!!
Have an awesome time! And Happy Birthday to Mr. W!
oooh, I like the new colors. Very spring like.
You do have a busy week ahead and I hope it’s an enjoyable one. Many good wishes heading your mothers way that the job interview goes fabulous and I hope too that the visit with your sister does as well.
No way is someone almost one. I refuse to believe it!
Sending lots and lots of good mojo mama’s way!!
“In church, um, enjoying “the word” ” I am laughing and giggling so hard I am crying! Thank you.
Sending good mojo, saying prayers, crossing my fingers, toes, legs, arms that the job interview is a huge success!!
Can’t believe the Captain Adorable man is gonna be 1, it sure did fly by!!!!!!!!!!! YAY W!!!!!!!!!!
Wow a fun week man for real. Please do post tons of pics, they are always so awesome. As usual how friggen cute is W and rockin the argyle and checked green under too too adorable. Best of luck to your mom too. Please send me a slice or two of carrot cake to Egypt, they are so not carrot cake makers here, not good anyway. xoxoxo
Someone looks very handsome. First things first, Happy Birthday W. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for your mom, and you’re going to the White House..eeek, how exciting.
Wow – what a busy week! I can’t believe W is a year old (nearly) already!!
I haven’t been through a fraction of the job-related misery that your Mom has, but lord am I sick as hell of it. Very best of luck to her, and I’ll be thinking all kinds of positive, job-obtaining thoughts.
One. Wow. Can’t believe it. I’m so honored that in some small way, I got to be part of W’s first year!
I’m sending as much positive mojo as I can muster out into the Universe for your mom’s interview!
Miss you!
Ooooo…an interview is exciting! I do hope, hope hope she nails it!
Oh, my. That last photo is lovely.
I cannot believe he is one. Impossible.
I hope this job is the ONE. My fingers are crossed.
Crazy week indeed, but promising. Congrats on your mom getting an interview! I’ll be crossing everything and hoping all goes well for her!
