John the Baptist never performed a miracle, but Jesus said of him “Among those born of women there is no one greater” (John 10:41, Luke 7:28). His mission was to be “a witness to the light” (John 1:8), and that [...]

What?!! My baby is 6 months old already?! It goes by SO much faster with the second one!! 5 months was the month of transitions. Clara went through what seemed like the growth spurt that would not end. She went from eating about 6oz before bed and sleeping 10 hours to eating 14oz before bed [...]

and yes, that is an entire pack of princess stick on earrings on his neck. and yes, he did miss one and was completely embarrassed when one of his law colleagues pointed it out to him later that day. haha.
For some reason, the first “trick” we’ve taught our babies has been to give kisses. It’s stinkin’ adorable and as you can see, C is pretty pleased with herself.

My amazing husband TOTALLY surprised me this Christmas and bought me a new DSLR (Canon Rebel T2i) camera!! It was quite amazing because he somehow managed to fit it into my stocking, which is not large by any means. I was shocked and humbled. He is toooo good to me. I have to say, after [...]
My sweet Geneva spent countless hours in the weeks prior to Christmas wrapping presents. At first she just wanted to hang out with me as I wrapped gifts to send to people and her “wrapping” consisted of cutting paper and ribbon and taping it all together in various geometric shapes. But then she decided she [...]
My dad and Mary came in from California to celebrate Christmas with us this year. We had a lovely and festive Christmas Eve . We spent the morning strolling through Old Colorado City looking at shops, eating French pastries and taking a surrey ride around the downtown. We feasted on our traditional Christmas meal of [...]

This year was extra special since Mrs. Claus and two elves also showed up! a note, no matter how many times or ways we’ve [...]

I’m obviously catching up on the last two months and that includes our before Christmas happenings. This pic was too cute not to post of Geneva and friends Jacob and Isaiah baking/decorating Christmas cookies. How cute are these three?! I have to say, it really is incredible how completely different boys and girls are from [...]

Geneva has been quite engrossed in The Nutcracker ballet for probably a year and a half. She knows the story backwards and forwards and can readily recognize most of the music. This Christmas season I knew I wanted to take her to see the ballet, but knew she just wasn’t old enough to sit through [...]

Parents are not allowed to sit in Geneva’s ballet classes. We are confined to the next room in the building that has a one way window into the classroom so we can peak but honestly it just looks like little girls running around. We were so excited when they had a “parent’s day” so we [...]
