The Leopard Woman

This picture is from Christmas and I look awful (I am doing Blue Steel) but my mother-in-law, Julie, thought this would be hilarious…and it is!!! This leopard blanket that she owns is always the favorite (and so she got each of the kids one of their very own for Christmas) and I got a pair of pajamas that happened to match almost exactly. Eric’s father always refers to me as the “Leopard Woman” whenever I wear these pajamas…the things you do when you have a little time!

Phillips Family Pictures

I have been neglectful of my blog since my wonderful but sometimes forgetful husband forgot our camera charger in California (I could have had my mother send it to us months ago, but Eric could not stand to have her know that we forgot it at her house and live with the shame after he had already lost the first one we owned). Anyway, here are some Phillips family photos that we took last summer.
