Clara is quite obsessed with all things from the 100 Acre Wood. I don’t quite know how it happened, but it’s adorable. (Well, adorable until she carries around unused diapers like blankets because they have Winnie the Pooh and Tigger on them. ha!) It makes me quite happy that we prophetically had a Winnie the [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

We are so, so blessed to live in the land of the Rocky Mountains. Some of our dear friends from Los Alamos own a condo in Frisco and almost every year we’ve lived in CO we’ve been able to go up there for a little family getaway. This year we decided to go Halloween weekend [...]

They graciously and generously flew us all out to see them for Thanksgiving!!!!! What a treat!! We loved seeing [...]

After Eric’s graduation in GA we were able to spend a week of family vacation at one of my most cherished places, the Haga farm in TN. Being there with my Graddaddy, Uncle Charles, and Aunt Peggy is like coming home for me. It’s a magical place – time slows down, life seems more simple, [...]

Chattanooga! Chattanooga will forever hold a wonderful place in my heart. Even though I went to college 40 minutes away, I spent most all my free time in Chattanooga, studying in favorite cafes, lying in grassy parks, just wandering the fabulous re-vamped art-y downtown and, most importantly, going to church. My heart will always be [...]
Geneva’s recent favorite word is “fantastic.” She says it with a huge emphasis on the “tas” syllable and then erupts into giggles. She’s recently taken to saying “the Francisco’s are fanTAStic,” which makes us giggle as well. Last month one of said fantastic Franciscos graduated from Toccoa Falls College in Toccoa Falls, GA and the [...]
