Pics of Our Recent Life

This past week the fam caught another St. Louis Cardinals game.  That makes me 8-1.  So, for anyone that's superstitious and also a season ticket holder, let's connect!  

This weekend we also partook in a jaunt to Grant's Farm.

And yesterday, we had some close friends and family over for Kate's 30th birthday!

Peace,

My 30th Birthday Weekend...

It was a whirlwind weekend...I turned 30 (yes, I'm now officially a man), I celebrated Father's Day with my girlies, we entertained our closest friends and family for a good 'ole party, Kate and I partook in some O-mazing authentic Mexican fusion and then saw Super 8, and we even caught a Cardinal's game!




Peace,
Ross

Mustache Party...

What's a mustache party? It's what you get when you have an awesome 3 year old request her own birthday theme (complete with a pink mustache cake)!

Happy birthday Cora!

I can't believe you turn 3 on Sunday. It seems WAY TOO OLD, WAY TOO FAST!



Peace,
Ross

On the Last Day of September...

Cora has a favorite nursery rhyme that ends, "...on the last day of September." So naturally, Kate and I planned Olive's birth accordingly (or perhaps not).

It's hard to believe that 1 year ago today we were going to bed with only 1 little girl; that we were a family of 3. It's hard to believe that we were planning to wake up and head in for the c-section from hell - or rather the 1/2 c-section from hell (Kate had a wild and painful ride). And it's hard to believe that 1 year ago tomorrow, we got to meet Olive Mae for the very first time!

Time really has flown bye...enjoy the pics (day 01 & 365).



And here's a song I wrote my little Olive:

Olive, May I
(c) 2009 Ross Christopher Donaldson

verse 1
we were two, three, now four
and we've made this love story;
a perfect story of who we are
and here we go...

CHORUS
olive, may i have this dance
to settle your tiny cries of midnight
let's dance till you smile
olive, may i have this dance tonight

verse 2
through many sleepless nights
i hold you tight, i hold you tight my love
and i see your smallest smile,
to know its a complete love

BRIDGE
so we dance
and we sing
and we love what we've become

Thanks for reading and Happy Birthday Olive Mae!
