A good weekend
We had a pretty good weekend. I know all weekends are supposed to be good, but we usually cram them full of errands and projects and housekeeping. But not this weekend. We played this weekend. We went to the park and we played in our backyard in the nearly perfect weather. And boy, did those kids sleep 
The Wonder Years
Twenty-two years ago, give or take a few weeks, I was the new kid on the block and I was on a mission to find a best friend. When I learned that there was a girl almost exactly my age, whose house I could see if I climbed my fence and looked through my neighbor’s back yard, I marched over unannounced and introduced myself.
I met the girl I would call my greatest childhood friend. We lost touch when I moved out-of-state the summer after the fifth grade.
Two days ago, I learned that there was a new kid in my “neighborhood”. So I drove over, unannounced, and reintroduced myself to Julie (Montgomery) Letaw. We introduced our kids and talked for a couple of hours and plan to get together again really soon. Seventeen years suddenly disappeared.
I think I just met a great adulthood friend.
” Let’s get together. Yeah yeah yeah….”
“Why don’t you and I combi-ine..”
Hayley Mills… The Parent Trap…anyone? anyone?
Hey, if you are a blogger, and we don’t have you linked over on the right hand side, let us know so we can be friends.
“We’d be a cra-a-azy team, why don’t we ma-a-ake the scene together…..Yeah yeah yeah”
Classic Photo – Olivia’s Faux Hawk
I will be periodically posting some of my favorite classic photos of my girls.
Here Olivia is about 9 months old sporting a sweet faux hawk… which was in style at the time. Enjoy!
A testament to my homemaking skills.
This morning, Olivia walked into our bedroom and was shocked to see a foreign object beside my bed. She is nearly four years old and she didn’t know what to call this……..
Needless to say, the Peters family is accustomed to wrinkled clothing.
Website Makeover
This is the new website for the peters kids. Expect more frequent updates and a ton of new junk to keep you busy. I transferred all of our old blog entries from theirparents.blogspot so if you made any comments feel free to re-comment here. thanks.
Jib Jab
If you haven’t heard of Jib Jab you need to waste some time on their website. This one was created by Katie’s parents. (AKA Bebe and Poppy) Katie’s sister also has a guest appearance in the clip. Enjoy!

Always with the Questions #2
So today on the way home from work and Olivia asks…
Olivia: How do you spell jump?
Mom: Juuu uuuu mmmm ppppp…. J-U-M-P.. jump.
Olivia: How do you spell bus?
Mom: B-U-S… bus
Olivia: How do you spell puke?
Living in the burbs
Almost 1 year ago we moved from the city to the suburbs. The first night that we spent in our new house was so quiet it was scary. No traffic, no sirens, no partying neighbors…I could barely sleep. One thing that we have noticed is the amount of wildlife we see in our yard. You just don’t see turtles crawling under your car in Buckhead.
My favorite part about this picture is the non-matching flip flops that Olivia picked out by herself. One pink…One blue…STYLISH!
Always with the Questions #1
Olivia(my oldest) is almost four and is really into asking questions right now. Here is a snapshot of one of our conversations two nights ago….
Olivia – Dad why aren’t you going to sleep in mmmyyyy bed.
Me - Because I sleep with mommy in our bed in our room.
Olivia- But why do you sleep in the bed with herrrr…
Me - Because we are married.
Olivia – Wwwhhhhyyyy.
Me - Ummm… because….I love her…
Olivia – But…(now she is thinking)… How will I have a baby?
Me - Yeah, let’s talk about that tomorrow.
Work Changes
For those of you who do not know, Josh and I both work at Buckhead Church, and we both love our jobs. Our work environment is almost surreal because we have so many amazing people that are sooo talented around us everyday.The sad news is: my boss/friend is leaving. She’s going to stay at home with her son, and that’s really cool, but I’m going to miss her like crazy. I’ll still get to see her all the time, though.
The good news is: my new boss is really cool. If I have ever fancied myself a cool person (and I’m pretty sure using the phrase “fancied myself” relieves me of that title) then it was only because I hadn’t met anyone this “cool” yet. He’ll be on LA Ink sometime in the Fall, so you can look for him. His wife sounds pretty cool too, former snowboard instructor, licensed chef and drop-dead gorgeous.
Hopefully I’ll get a little cooler just by knowing them–osmosis maybe.
