Today our childcare provider called me. Adrianna was asking to talk to me on the phone. How it all came about is one of the older girls had been talking on the phone to...

I mentioned a few posts ago that one of Adrianna’s new words is “Git.” Unfortunately she did learn this word from us, but it should be noted that only the dogs are ever the...

I was reading one of my favorite blogs when I read a post about making Bible reading a priority / resolution for 2007. (Thanks Jamie!) This is something I want to do. I have...

I just had to post another picture of my nephew and niece, Aidan and Layla, that I stole from my sister’s blog. They are now 4 and a half months old. Aren’t they adorable?...

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Well, it is still snowing. The wind has died down some, but our entire backyard is one big snowdrift. Our dogs hate it, even after...

But working from home is so delightful! The Denver area is getting hit with a major snowstorm today. It has been snowing and blowing all day and shows little sign of stopping even now....

More and more, Adrianna imitates everyday things that we do not even realize she is observing. For instance, we never taught her to throw used kleenex into the trash, but she does it on...
