That's A Wrap!

The season began as we honored our angel. On her birthday we trimmed the tree...








There were ornaments handmade, old and new...





A Christmas miracle occurred with a painless photo shoot...











We became pastry chefs for a day...









and embraced tradition with family...







We made it home for Christmas Day...



















and welcomed the New Year with more food, family and friends.







Sweet wishes from all of us! We hope 2012 brings you health and happiness!

Wordless Wednesday...

It's those little moments...

Just goofing around with his little girl!!

I Can Do It!

Ahhhh yes...we have reached that phase where "I can do it" seems to flow out of Lily's mouth every 5 minutes. Always determined to achieve what she wants to without any help. I don't know about you, but I seem to forget (or maybe block out) certain phases the kids go through or when they normally occur. Life gets so busy but then the next kid comes along to quickly remind you. I really admire those moms that seem to patiently have it all together and remember every single milestone and when it happened. For me...I need my photos!




Mom...I got this...







Determined to splash, get wet and bring sunshine to a rainy day.

10

Yep...we have a 10 year old boy in the house. We had numerous birthday requests this year like a plea for a go cart, and "How about a trip to Bermuda to swim with dolphins?" Well, we didn't opt for anything like that but we think he was still pretty psyched...

It began with a clue..



Which then led to another...



Inside and out...






Even Lily was in on it...




The final clue to find the treasure...



Lovin the new laptop...









I believe heaven sent us a miracle...



In the form of a compassionate, funny, persistent, intense, blue eyed, curly haired, glowing little boy.



Happy Happy Birthday number one son!!
