Typical


This is Eve with her cousin who is just two and 1/2 months older than her. I feel that this picture really captures their personalities. Take Ellie for example. She has her hair up in cute pig tails and boy does she know she's having her picture taken?! Then there's Eve to whom we had to give a spoon so she would stay on the couch and look somewhat happy but mostly she just looks confused.

Ooooooh! Shiny ring!

Holding on to Chistmas as long as I can


Our life holds few distinctions but I think I may safely say that this last Christmas was the best Christmas ever. A number of factors contributed to its overall greatness: loved family members that seemed to be doing better than the last time we saw them, watching our parents bond with our daughter, presents (of course) and general festive cheer. We left feeling overwhelmed with our family's love and generosity and my being overwhelmed by the big gift of the year, a sewing machine. You have to understand that my mother and sisters are master seamstresses (I'll post pictures to prove it). But I really am excited to venture into the world of needle and thread during the next few rainy months.

Magnificent Seamstresses

General Christmas Cheer


Don't have a picture of Eve on the real horse but you get the idea
