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 [...]
Thank you, dear Emily, for taking these beautiful pictures of my little ladies.
Geneva insisted on being part of every step of decorating the Christmas tree this year. It might have something to do with her favorite book at the moment that we read two to five times a day – Mr. Willowby’s Christmas Tree, in which seven different trees are “trimmed.” But whatever the reason, she was [...]
My dear friend Emily graciously took pictures of my girls this week. I won’t be publishing them all for a couple weeks, but here is a sneak peak. THANK YOU EMILY!

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.
I am in no way a fan of Halloween, but when Geneva’s ballet class was having a costume day and party after class at the end of October I let her pick out one of her many dress up outfits and participate. She chose to be Snow White, and a lovely little princess she was [...]
This pretty much summed up their relationship during Clara’s second month of life. haha.

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 [...]

Geneva started taking ballet lessons this week!! It’s through a local Christian dance studio and we’ve been really pleased with them so far. There are many places for a 3.5 year old to take ballet, one even within walking distance from our house, but we were shocked at how varied the approaches could be! Ballet [...]

This has always been one of Geneva’s favorite books, in fact she could quote the entire thing probably a year ago! We love Barnes and Noble story times, and last month they had a Madeline themed morning where Geneva actually got to meet Madeline in person. super cute.

So Geneva and I have been working on being kind in our speech lately, and she’s learning that just b/c something might be honest, it doesn’t always make it beneficial or loving to say. So the other day we are driving to the pool and Geneva starts to say “Mom, those (sun) glasses look sill…” [...]

Grammy Rogers is incredible, and knows my little girl all too well! This week Geneva opened a package to discover matching ballerina tutus for her and her bitty baby (as well as a beautiful coming home outfit for Clara, among other things). Of course, Geneva has worn almost nothing else since. THANK YOU GRAMMY ROGERS!!! [...]

Clara means “full of light.” LOVE that. I’ve been meditating on “light” verses in Scripture accordingly, and the Lord has been good to give me things to pray over both my daughters having to do with being Light-ed inwardly. I’m thankful, and glad to do it, since Psalms says that “light is sown for the [...]
