Four years ago today, Matt and I embarked on the greatest journey of our lives: parenthood. I always smile when I think of how my water broke so unexpectedly that cold December morning, with Matt on his way out of town and me flagging him down in the driveway to tell him he probably needed…

Prayers for our littlest one
Cecily is very, very sick with RSV. I took her in first thing this morning, and I knew she was very ill when the wait at the walk-in Saturday clinic at our pediatrician’s office was 2 hours, but they promptly bumped her to the front of the list the moment they laid eyes on her….
More December fun
~ December 6 ~ When Jack was born, we decided that St. Nicholas Day would be something we would incorporate into our annual family Christmas traditions. Each year, the kiddos prepare their lists and leave them out in their shoes the night before December 6 so that Santa can come and collect them the next…
Quarter Birthday (Happy Three Months, Cecily!)
Baby girl is three months old today. It’s just amazing that the time has gone by so quickly, and with all we went through at the beginning, I have to say I am very, very happy to be where we are right now. Cecily is happy and healthy, and she is seriously about the most…
The great tree caper

Today we made our annual trek to the Christmas tree farm. Jack and Charlotte ran to their hearts’ content, and we all had so much…
December Daily – Days One and Two
~December 1~ A couple of years ago, I made our first Advent cookie tree. I have always really enjoyed the process of baking and decorating the 25 cookies to be eaten over the course of the days leading up to Christmas, but I have to say that the process this year was better than ever….
Thanksgiving and a goal for December
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas around here, and it dawned on me I had better take a break from decorating and get my act in gear to post our Thanksgiving photos before turkey is totally eclipsed by tinsel and trees. We made the trek to Ft. Worth to spend Thanksgiving at Leigh…
The kiddos
I took a few cute pictures of the kiddos this week that I thought I would share. I honestly still have moments when I take a step back and think, “Whoa – I have three children!” I know that probably sounds a bit odd, but the last couple of months have been such a blur…
