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 [...]

(she has real friends too) haha. This is Miette, one of Geneva’s very best friends. The girls are 3 months apart and just have a great time together. It is an unbelievable blessing to have family friends where the moms are friends, the dads are friends and the kids are friends. We just thank the [...]

It’s official – my 3 year old has an imaginary friend. Well, two to be exact. They are Anastasia and Drusella (the step sisters from Cinderella). They live in her bedroom and sleep most of the day. Geneva makes sure that we are very quiet upstairs when they are sleeping. When they are awake they [...]

Geneva is already taking her role as big sister very seriously. It’s so sweet how much she talks about Clara, it must be multiple times a day. Here are some examples: “Mom, when Clara is 2 she can sleep in my room with me!” “Mom, we should buy this for Clara! She would love it!” [...]
whenever you can, be friends with professional photographers and invite them to everything you do!!!! haha. No, but seriously, thank you for the beautiful snapshots you took for us, Emily!
Geneva is very into Princesses. She has the name of every Disney Princess down pat even though she’s only seen Cinderella and a very select 20 minutes of Snow White. Cinderella is, of course, her favorite. And she begged us for a Cinderella themed 3rd birthday party. The party was a family affair. Geneva’s great-grandmother [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
