BUSTER'S FAVORITES + ALL THE NEWS


it has been quite a week, hasn't it? lots of big news on the sandy front today (power back on! marathon canceled! benefit concert!), but instead i thought i'd share the news in the holbrook house... you know, clearly unimportant news in the grand scheme of things but what does this look like to you, cnn or something? 

here first, are some of buster's favorite shots from the week:


and now! terribly unimportant news from our house!

soooo.. today i bought stroller hand muffs. stroller hand muffs i said. it's the smartest thing i've ever done. they're actually motorcycle gloves, but who's counting. i also bought a cup holder for the stroller today. it's suddenly really swanky to be my stroller. (i'm being lighthearted here, but shoot, this does excite me.)

and here's something else exciting: brandon told me last night that he plans on letting his beard grow in while he's out of town on his training assignment, and YES! orange beards for me! i've missed that orange beard pret-ty badly since brandon graduated and got all 'employed' and 'respectable' on me.

last bit of news for the day: thanks to huck and his exposure therapy methods i can now sit through an entire showing of dumbo without crying. (twice a day, this child!)  just now i started to ask huck if he wanted a snack, but he interrupted me and said, "duh-doh? ohh-tayyyyyy." so. gosh dang it duh-doh.

  2. what 'baby mine' creates in tears and 'pink elephants' makes in fears is all made up by 'when i see an elephant fly.' through jeers. HA.

  3. I shall completely shield my child from Fox and the Hound so that it's never an option. That movie is dead to me. :)

  6. as another wife of a redhead with a sexy-as-all-getout beard, i totally understand your excitement. i went to a conference for a week-and-a-half and he just didn't shave, and when i got home i informed him that he was keeping it. keeps us both happy -- no shaving, and sexy redhead husband beard. mmm-hmm. =)

  9. Okay, so a)Your son's face at the playground is the CUTEST thing ever, b)I would get excited over stroller muffs, too. It's the little things in life, and c) LOVE those Sally Hansen things...but the sparkle ones were a pain to get off. Did you have trouble? Love the blog (as always.) You're the cutest.

  13. Oh Natalie, I hear ya on the orange beards! It's the best part of my redhead being in school again. I get pouty whenever he decides to shave it off, especially since the hair on top of his head is decidedly more auburn and less orange these days.

  21. That pic up top is killing me. My 2year old has squishy cheeks like his. Squishy cheeks are the absolute best.

  22. that lion outfit is amazing! and the first photo, those cheeks!

    so enough exclamation points. i think your stroller purchases are very exciting but then i am biased as my pram arrived yesterday and oh my, it is like christmas has come.

  23. stroller muffs sound pretty amazing, now that I think about it! Enjoy them :)

    The photos are adorable. I absolutely love the lion costume. Too cute!! I've never been to this blog before, but it's really nice! I love your photography. It is really a bummer about the damage in NYC from Hurricane Sandy. So sad :( It's nice to see everyone pitching in to help, though.

    Hope you had a great weekend, dear.

    xox, Amber
