Avery and Olivia are the most precious gifts I could have ever been given. They inspire me, challenge me, keep me grounded, bring so much happiness, love me unconditionally, and exhaust me every single day. I’m so blessed to have these precious girls in my life! Children open your eyes to things you’ve either never seen before [...]

Perfect Weekend

The weather this past weekend could not have been better! Friday afternoon, we took the girls out to the house so we could meet with the HVAC guys before they left for the weekend and then headed to the fishing pond. My girly girls love getting dirty too and are so happy when they get to run and [...]

We are back from vacation and while still in a relaxed frame of mind, I decided to take on a craft project I have been wanting to do for a while. I saw a version of this on pinterest. I also have been in organization mode so I thought this would fit nicely with my [...]

Last weekend one of my new friends, Kari, put together a playdate at a beautiful park here in Austin by the lake and J. Bell Photography came and took pictures of the kids for us. It’s a park I had never been to and is really well hidden and quite a hike to get to [...]
Feeding the Ducks

A while back, we took a stroll down to the lake to feed the ducks. We all really enjoy being outside so this was a fun opportunity to enjoy lake living while we still live close by for a couple more months. Random pictures of the girls from February that I love: Also, thank you [...]
Olivia Paige is 1!

This week has been a happy one but also quite emotional for me personally. Celebrating Olivia’s special first birthday this week means that she isn’t a baby anymore though she will always be my baby. My tears are flooding through just writing this. I can’t help but think of the roller coaster of a day [...]

To set the tone of our Christmas weekend, the weather was very wintery (cold and wet) which made for perfect Christmas weather. That is the only time I like wintery weather ! We had a wonderful time with family, ate too much, played a lot, snuggled inside, and loved every second of it. I’m so [...]
Twas The Night Before Christmas…

Things were definitely stirring in our home the night before Santa came. Getting the girls ready for bed was especially exciting for both the girls and us knowing that Santa was near. And then it happened! Santa came and he left some very fun toys for the girls. Avery wakes up very early so we [...]

My family starts celebrating Christmas weeks before Christmas day. My mom has a large extended family so it allows everyone to get together without having other obligations. We celebrated Christmas early in December with my mom’s aunts, uncles, cousins, etc (more like an extended family reunion) and then again the next day with my aunts [...]
Visiting with Santa
Posted in Baby & Child on December 19, 2011 | 4 Comments »
We took the girls Friday to see Santa. As you can see, Olivia thought Santa was pretty scary. Avery was excited but also a little unsure. We’ve been asking her what she wants Santa to bring her for Christmas and she tells us the exact same thing she told Santa: a purple present and a [...]
