I celebrated my birthday last week at my sister’s house surrounded by family (except Tori and Zach … miss you guys!!). It was great to get together with everyone, but as I get older, birthday celebrations become less and less important. Chris insisted on buying me a fabulously decadent cake. It was absolutely gorgeous, so gorgeous I had to take… Read More
Pics from the park
We found a local park to spend the afternoon. The kids had a great time, but, once again, my girls were not thrilled to be the focus of my picture taking. Isabelle is old hat at these types of playgrounds, but Sophie is like a kid in a candy store everytime we get out to play. Yes, I did get… Read More
Happy (almost) 4th of July!
We went to watch fireworks last night. It was a big show, lots of beautiful fireworks. The kids enjoyed some funnel cake. Well, who am I kidding, I enjoyed some funnel cake. And then I let the kids have what I couldn’t eat. Isabelle had a great time getting all sugared up and running around, but when the fireworks started… Read More
This kid is amazing
If I could take any credit for the little girl that Sophie is, this might be considered bragging, but I can’t. It’s just telling it like it is. She is just such a suprise after reading/preparing/bracing ourselves for toddler adoption. It’s called “hoping for the best, but expecting the worst”. Well, I don’t think we were prepared for how easy… Read More
Isabelle’s first year home…in pictures
These are my very favorite pictures of Isabelle. It took a while to narrow down my very favorites, but here they are. I’d LOVE to hear your opinion of your favorite … leave a comment to let me know!
Isabelle’s big day
Well, it’s official. I have 2 two year olds. That just sounds painful. I used to pity people who had two children in diapers and … well God is proving that He has quite a sense of humor. We celebrated Isabelle’s big day in style. My sister, her husband and their two daughters came down for the party and helped… Read More
Almost two
Isabelle will celebrate her second birthday on Monday. When we had her first birthday party, shortly after we arrived home with her, we had no idea how she would change and grow in the first year. At that time we were only seeing a glimpse of the little girl she was to become. A loving, funny, adventurous, busy little girl…. Read More
And so it goes
This was my coffee. I like my coffee a certain way and I can’t drink it unless I have it fixed just the way I like it. Ask my husband, I won’t even let him make it for me. I drink one cup, just one, so I want it to be just right. Well this morning I left it on… Read More
Adventures in motherhood
Last night was one to remember. It was a pleasant enough evening with the kids playing outside and eating popsicles. Then onto bath time which went off without major incident, unless you call Isabelle throwing unattended towels into the tub and incident. I got the girls ready for bed and took some pics of them in their diapers … Isabelle… Read More
In honor of a great Dad
I know yesterday was Father’s Day. But we were in denial about it here. Chris is away and so there wasn’t much to celebrate. In fact, I was trying to keep the boys from being sad that daddy wasn’t here so we didn’t discuss Father’s Day much besides yelling “Happy Father’s Day!” into the phone when he called. So I… Read More
