We had probably seen “Pets Rule!,” a captivating, delightful, and highly-entertaining show at SeaWorld at least a dozen times. Elliott has always been quite taken by dogs and animals of all sorts, and this show was FULL of them—dogs, cats, pigs, ducks, you-name-its–all moving to the beat of the music while performing incredible stunts. Perfectly trained… Continue reading SeaWorld, Canines, and Proverbs 29:17

So Very Blessed Indeed
I couldn’t let 2013 slip away silently, without writing a little something to REMEMBER who we are as we finish out this past year and begin a new one. If I had written a Christmas letter, this is what it would have said. 🙂 There’s not a day that goes by that Brian and I… Continue reading So Very Blessed Indeed
Christmas 2013
CHRISTMAS EVE I had big plans of baking a birthday cake for Jesus with Elliott on Christmas Eve, so we could throw a good ol’ fashioned birthday party on Christmas Day. And…it for sure didn’t happen this year :). Add it to the list of things to look forward to for next year!! We made… Continue reading Christmas 2013
The Christmas Count Up!
WHAT a FUN, FUN, FUN Christmas season this was!! Elliott was finally old enough to justify putting in some effort towards the Christmas countdown and the kids and I just had a blast. I kept it ULTRA simple and it was all fun with no stress. Next year I’ll try and solidify my activities more… Continue reading The Christmas Count Up!
It’s Tweet to be ONE!
There are few things more fun in life than celebrating the life of your children. Yes, I DO celebrate them every day of their lives…but once a year, a super special date rolls around, and I get to go a little above-and-beyond. My baby girl only turns one once!!! A few good friends flapped on… Continue reading It’s Tweet to be ONE!
Selah the ONEderful!!
How do you explain the awesome wonders of the twelfth month of Selah’s life in one post? How do you sum up the ONEderfulness of the first year of Selah Bean’s existence? How do you solve a problem like Maria? Like this. She walks. She talks. Her favorite words are, “Up!”, “Heh-whoa” (hello), “Hi,” “Bye-bye”,… Continue reading Selah the ONEderful!!
Selah B, 11 months
It’s. Just. Gone. Wayyyyyy. Toooooo. Faaaaaaast…. Every day she grows more independent. Every day we see more of her personality budding. Every day she gets closer and closer to become ONE YEAR OLD. But she’s never been as close as THIS. How is it that my next blog post of her will be her TWELVE… Continue reading Selah B, 11 months
Selah’s Nursery!
I know it may seem silly to put a post up about my daughter’s nursery when she’s now almost a year old. But if you know me, then you know that I love details. Putting together my kids’ nurseries have been two of my favorite projects of all time, because it’s one way that I… Continue reading Selah’s Nursery!
Home, sweet home
Wow. We have had a FULL few months! People have been wondering if we dropped off the planet but no–I assure you…our feet are firmly planted here on earth. More specifically, we have planted them firmly in a blue-sky, clear-air little city called Denver. (Cue song: “Rocky Mountain High…”) We decided at the end of… Continue reading Home, sweet home
Selah B, 10 months!!
Oh my word, Selah is SO MUCH FUN. Her little personality continues to BLOSSOM and it is such a JOY to learn more and more every day about WHO SHE IS!!! Selah officially has her first two words down this month!! She’s been saying “Mama” for a while, but just after she turned 9 months,… Continue reading Selah B, 10 months!!
