Christmas joys
Posted in Colorado living, Geneva, Holidays, family on Dec 22nd, 2009
She is SO one of my very FAVORITE things.
Geneva gets a new ornament every year, usually representing something from that year. This year she got a hand painted green nutcracker from Germany. For some reason this year she’s become really enthusiastic about Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite. She can watch the ballet performance over and over and over (we skip the rats, obviously). She’s getting [...]
G’s 1st official photoshoot
Posted in Geneva on Aug 3rd, 2009
So we had yet to take professional pictures since Geneva was born until last month. My sweet mother-in-law had offered to take Geneva to get them done, and we did so on her most recent visit. They turned out SO cute - hopefully this will make us get our act together and get them done [...]

Geneva’s room
Posted in Geneva, art & crafts & home things on Jun 26th, 2009
Continuing through the house, we come to Geneva’s room, another of my favorite spaces in our home. I suppose I will have different thoughts on children’s rooms as we have more children and as our living situation changes. But for now I like her room pretty simple, an airy place to calm down and to [...]

He is amazing and hilarious with Geneva and she just adores his energy, warmth, laughter and generous spirit. Here are some highlights from this trip to the Zoo. (Check out the underwater [...]
on diaper bags
Posted in Geneva, baby things, fashion on May 11th, 2009
It’s been a little tradition of mine to receive a new bag on Mother’s Day. (Let me say here I am really, really grateful for a husband who indulges such traditions!) My first Mother’s Day I requested this amazing diaper bag from Mia Bossi. It is a dream diaper bag, albeit large in size. [...]
that girl’s got Francisco genes!
Posted in Geneva on Apr 30th, 2009
We were so blessed to have “Mimi” and “Auntie Bina” here with us to celebrate the second birthday of our little blessing! Geneva loves to cook, and helps in the kitchen as much as we let her, so this year I elected to involve her in the process so we all made cookies instead of [...]
just for fun
Posted in Geneva on Mar 12th, 2009
I found this little blurp on my favorite mommy blog and thought it was too funny and had to share:
A baby monitor for your iPhone? Sure!
I remember that time we went to visit my folks for the holidays, and in the midst of packing the presents and the pack-n-play, I somehow forgot the baby monitor. [...]
These are the most-pulled-off-the-shelf books in our house right now:
Kermit the Hermit, The Caboose Who Got Loose, The Ant and the Elephant, How Droofus the Dragon Lost His Head, (all) by Bill Peet: If you do not like Bill Peet you and I probably shouldn’t be friends. I have adored his story-telling, rhyming, and [...]
