Today was a big day for my husband. So big, his parents even came to town. All the way from Texas. So big that the littles missed their nap and I was forced to substitute M&Ms for sleep.

Today is Isabelle’s 5th birthday! We celebrated, in style, last night at Isabelle’s favorite spot: BigDonald’s (McDonald’s in Isabelle-speak).

But on this day we… Read More
Whew! All the preparing and planning we’ve done for the last few months paid off in spades on Christmas morning. It was so precious watching the kids open their gifts, ripping off the paper and realizing that Santa had come through for them again this year. We spent Christmas Eve at an evening church service and then came home and… Read More
Our littlest man (currently at home) turned 5 years old today. We celebrated a bit early on Saturday since it would be easier to devote a good bit of the day to this special occasion. Dalton had been looking forward to celebrating his big day for months, often inquiring, “How many days until my birthday?” Finally, his day came. Unfortunately… Read More
