We got an early Christmas present this month. Made by my dad to fit perfectly by our kitchen table. I could not be more excited! He had some great help carrying it inside and then the kids explored it in the entry way.
They seem to like it pretty well. The girls sit on it to eat [...]

I took this picture early this morning as these two sat quietly together and played … until I interrupted to take a picture.
My sweet, bouncing baby boy is walking! Here he is trying it out yesterday at the park.
Then Kate started dancing.
And Megan started sliding … and collecting static for her hair!
I hope you get [...]

Kate is four and a half. I love the way her mind works. Here’s a glimpse:
This is what I saw after she helped by putting the chicken nuggets and tater tots on the cookie sheet! I laughed out loud and tried not to tip them over as I put the pan in the oven!
And then.
This [...]

We haven’t played in the park much recently. Sometimes it just seems like too much work to get the kids ready and out the door.
But it’s always worth it once we get there! (I’m linking this to Tuesdays Unwrapped at Chatting at the Sky because I’m learning to take time to enjoy the little things.) [...]

Heme aquí, yo iré, Señor.
Heme aquí, yo iré, Señor.
Envíame a mi,
que dispuesta estoy.
Llevaré tu gloria a las naciones.
This is the song my girls have requested at bedtime for the past few nights.
Ever since they discovered I could sing in Spanish. Ever since Kate asked, “Mama, can I speak Spanish?” Ever since “Spanish” became more than just [...]

Well, it’s fall and it’s October. Today it was also 80 degrees! Anyway, I added this bit of fall to my mantel (now that I have mantel, I ought to do something with it, right?) the other day and wanted to share it with you. Because I know you’ve been waiting to see it. (OK, [...]
Here are some pictures from our vacation to Colorado.
We were so blessed to stay in my brother’s condo. It was so nice to have a kitchen and laundry facilities right there. And also to see Uncle Louis! We also saw Uncle Austin and Aunt Erika.
Enough talk, more pictures. Enjoy our fun in the moutains!
Looking at [...]

My sweet baby boy is TEN months old (a few days ago)! It’s so funny to see him crawling, pulling up and walking along the furniture while Megan is telling Grandma on the phone, “We have a baby. He is Daniel Gareth. He has feets. He has green poop.” Thanks, Meg. Good to know. Grandma [...]

It’s not too often we get a picture of “our whole family” as the girls say. But here’s a couple where no one is crying and the kids even match from the baby dedication!
Maybe they’re not perfect, but we’re having fun and this is our wonderful life!
