Having a birthday on December 20th makes planning a birthday party a challenge. We opted for something different for Jack’s birthday this year, and instead of trying to figure out when around the holidays people would be able (and willing) to attend yet another party, we decided to wait to have his party until after…
This girl…
…is something else! Charlotte is our walking hurricane, and I say that with all of the fondness and pride (and utter exhaustion!!) a parent of such a little girl knows very well. From the moment she is up every morning until the second she collapses in a heap each night, she is on the GO….
Christmas 2009
I have finally managed to sift through all of our photos from Christmas. There were so many terrific shots, I had a heck of a time deciding which ones to share! One of the things Matt and I have enjoyed immensely about having children is the opportunity to create new Christmas traditions unique to our…
Christmas visitors
My parents made the trek from New Mexico a few days before the actual holiday to spend an early Christmas with us before packing up and heading to Denver to spend time with Lori’s crew. Just after they left, Matt’s parents and Leigh and John arrived. It was an action-packed week to say the least,…

A word for 2010
I love a new year. It’s a time for a fresh start. A chance for a new perspective. An opportunity to reflect on where you have been and where you want to be. The idea of choosing a word or theme to sum up my goals for the year ahead is something I have never…
Mom and Dad made the trek from New Mexico to spend an early Christmas with us here in Arkansas before heading to Denver to stay with Lori and her crew for the holiday. The kiddos were giddy to be able to stay with them in the hotel for a couple of nights. Amy @ Positively…
Happy New Year!
There is nothing that serves you a reality check regarding your social life more conclusively than New Year’s Eve as the parents of three small children. Matt and I were both in bed well before the ball even dropped in New York City, but the good news about that was that it allowed us to…
Menu Monday
Now that the Christmas craziness is behind us, I have to say I’m itching to get back into our “normal” routine. First task on tap: this week’s menu plan. One of our resolutions for the new year is to eat three vegetarian meals per week (last year’s resolution was for two meatless meals per week,…
