I Heart Plastic Bullet AND My Nurturing Son

I recently introduced you to the cool iPhone app called Plastic Bullet. But I failed to mention that one of its features is that it can be used to slightly disguise - slash - distort morning face and morning hair from being displayed to the world!

So, I will use that feature to my advantage while I share with you the sweetness of my second born son…

That would be Charlie.

I have this ridiculous habit of picking the life out of the tiniest blemish that appears on my aging face. As we all know, this transforms an unnoticeable blemish into a massive wound that is unable to hide behind the layers of make-up one might attempt to apply in an effort to conceal the unwanted decoration.

Fast forward to the morning hours. Make-up is non-existent. The subject formerly known as "the tiny blemish" is now apparently pulsating on my forehead, when my dearest little one creeps into my bedroom. To his dismay, mommy has a giant boo-boo on her head. This must be treated immediately!

And so the story goes…


Mommy wakes up with a spiderman band-aid on her forehead… which is quite possibly the best solution for concealing this specimen, which I'm convinced at this point must have its own heartbeat.

Love that Charlie.

(P.S. I'm not sure Plastic Bullet proved to be favorable for Mr. Agrestic in this photo as it appears to have made his neck and face all become one… sorry 'bout that babe!)

In That Space

Image
Wow! It's been a while.  Coming to this seat to reflect and write is always in the back of my mind, but sometimes it's just more complicated than others to actually get here. I have several significant events to share with you. I have pictures!! You must see! We've celebrated Charlie turning 5 (Oh my Lord! His world has changed!) We had our family Christmas time. We've had SNOW! We went skiing. Life keeps happening. I photograph it when I can. And I come here when it's time. It occurred to me today why I haven't been posting much.  This blog is primarily a place where I capture memories, store my photos, share a few laughs, and watch my kids grow. I tend to organize it around the photos I take. While I have a few pictures that I want to (and will!) share with you, for some reason my thoughts haven't been very focused on those photos or those events. I've kind of been in a weird space since the beginning of the year. It's not a bad space…...

… And My Most Silly Sweetheart ~ My Baby

Image
Finally, I get to introduce to you my baby ~ Charlie Aaron Hatcher. Chuckles. The most perfect nick-name there ever was ~ It's so profound as a mother to bring a new life into the world, and only a few short weeks after the little miracle arrives, you feel like you already know his personality and who he will be. I am describing Charlie to you today using nearly the same words I would have used when he was 3-months old. Funny, whimsical, stubborn - yet easy going, independent, and extremely loving (when he wants to be!) This child has enriched my life in so many ways. He is a little ball of energy, with a sassy attitude that cracks you up. And it's all topped off with a sugar coated sweetness that can melt your heart. I thought I had nearly mastered parenting, disciplining, and molding a child by having practiced with Sam ~ but come to find out I essentially had to throw out everything I learned with Sam, because this one has been a whole new ballgame. Amazing how that wo...

We Heart the Tomato Head

Image
It has become quite a tradition for the Hatcher family to visit our beloved Tomato Head anytime we have the opportunity. Because we tend to go out to eat a LOT… and because a good dining experience is quite high on our (or at list my) list of priorities, the opportunity to go to the Tomato Head presents itself quite frequently. Always once, many times twice per week. I do believe Sam and Charlie have even decided it to be their favorite place to eat (or maybe they just know it makes mama happy!) On Monday, while on our (home) vacation, we decided to take advantage of our glorious East Tennessee treasures up in the Smoky Mountains. Lucky us… there is a Tomato Head in downtown Maryville ~ so we had to visit as we were passing through. At both locations (Market Square and downtown Maryville), we prefer to sit outside. They have their trademark colorful lights hanging at both locations. Our meal always begins with blue chips and hummus. Always. Sam and Charlie gobble up their ...
