We were able to go down to New Mexico this spring for Michael’s youngest sister’s graduation celebration from high school. It was such a rare treat for the entire Francisco family to be together, and one that won’t soon be forgotten. We only had a few hours of time together, so any driving time was [...]
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!!!
Posted in art & crafts & home things, family on Feb 19th, 2011
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 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 [...]

Geneva, we do pray for your husband. We pray that loves the Lord with his whole being, is gracious, kind, wise, loving, purposeful, generous, pure, discerning, adventurous, worthy of his calling, and worthy of you. We love you, sweetie.
Michael decided to attend the annual Federalist Society Convention this year, and since it was held in DC and the majority of Michael’s family had yet to meet Clara, we all jumped on a plane and went to Mimi’s for the week! My sister in law Deborah who lives and works in NYC graciously flew [...]
Aspens 2010
Posted in Colorado living, family on Oct 10th, 2010
The turning of the aspen trees is one of our favorite things about living in this part of the world, and for better or worse (and believe me we had some of both this year), making the trek to see them each year is a favorite family tradition. We packed a picnic, but it was [...]

It was wonderful to have my Dad and Mary here this week. Clara was 6 weeks during their visit, and 3 years ago they had their first meeting with Geneva when she was 7 weeks. Its fun to get those same pictures 3 years apart. Mary and Geneva in 2007 Mary and Clara in 2010 [...]

Next time you come to the Springs to visit us, we will probably take you to Serenity Springs Wildlife Center. It’s pretty much the coolest place we’ve visited since we’ve lived here. Forty minutes to the east of Colorado Springs, Serenity Springs is a sort of retirement home and rescue center for ‘non-domestic felines’ and [...]
Clara’s dedication
Posted in Clara, discipleship, family on Oct 6th, 2010
We dedicated our Clara to the Lord at our church last Sunday. It was a very special time, and we were so grateful that my dad and Mary could be here to join with us. Our pastor exhorted us that it was much more than dedicating our baby to our God, but truly a time [...]
our new little girl
Posted in baby things, Clara, family on Apr 20th, 2010
Her name is Clara. Clara Renee Francisco. I love her name so much I can’t even believe we are getting another girl and get to use it. Clara means “illustrious; full of light” and Renee (my middle name) means “born anew.” (and did you know Francisco means “free one”?? I think it’s pretty amazing.) Our [...]

It’s a girl!!! I was so shocked and ecstatic when we found out! It’s really taken me a month to actually believe it! I was so sure she would be a he. But the Lord knows what we need, and I’m so grateful. My heart wanted a girl so badly, for Geneva. There’s going to [...]
