She is so excited when she cruises around (walks around while holding on to things). I think that Sarah Amelia is really gearing up to walk on her own. She certainly can get around the house quickly when she is crawling! We finally broke down and bought new baby gates, because Sarah frequently escapes from her…
So, I didn’t get out the Christmas cards, and I think that the 12 days of Christmas are over. Oh well, I am a slacker… To make a mends, I promise all of our aunts/uncles and grandparents that there will be cards and picture of the girls in the mail shortly. Thank goodness for blogs.…
When most everyone is enjoying the snow and bone-chiling weather that winter brings, Texans typically enjoying balmy weather. December tends to bring our coldest temperatures; however, Bryan always says that January is colder. November/December was exceptionally cold in 2013. While this was annoying, it did provide the opportunity to bring out the out cold weather…
I thought that this would be the year that I managed to get family pictures taken BEFORE Christmas so I could include them with family Christmas cards. That means booking a photographer in October and getting them early. No such luck, again. BUT – I did take several cute “Fall themed” pictures of the girls…
When I posted the “Everyday is Halloween” blog, I left out an entire thing about our little Halloween party. As I said in the other Halloween themed post, I love an excuse to eat candy and have fun. When I was a kid, I especially loved Halloween parties and always looked forward to having parties…
All my friends know that I love Halloween! Really, what’s not to like?

I tried to find Rachel’s first costume with no luck 🙁 It was an adorable little…
Sarah Amelia is doing some really cool stuff. I have been intending on posting this for a while but never had the opportunity to actually capture it on video! She has been sitting pretty well for a little while. That has advanced to going from tummy to sitting up, and now scooting a little! On…
It has been a long time since I have posted a “Sarah Amelia” centric blog. I must remedy that! We have taken so many pictures, and I have been trying to figure out how to put them together. Well, I will be 80 before I ever think of anything clever, so I am just going…
We are back in full swing. School is back in session. I like the routine of school, but school time results in a lot of pressure for the modern day parent. Despite my suggestions to drop an extracurricular activity, Rachel seems pretty set to stay the course with all of her activities. Well,…
Every once in a while, something happens that REALLY surprises me. Yes, that sounds a little dramatic, but last Sunday I found a little present on my front door…. First, some backstory. We live in what most would describe as an idyllic suburb, at least that is what most of the advertisements about our neighborhood…
