Lucy’s First Birthday
On Friday my dear sweet girl turned one. This post is entirely for her. I hope that someday down the line she will read this and know how much joy she brings to my life. Dearest Lucy, What a year this has been. I never in my life knew that I could be so happy, [...]
Happy Easter
Easter is one of those holidays where after you have grown it really isn’t any fun. The highlight of the Easters in my early 20s was the Easter ham my grandma used to prepare. I love ham. Since I haven’t eaten meat for most of the past five years, I really haven’t had much to [...]
Christmas Aftermath
Christmas in our house was beautiful. I, along with my brother and sister-in-law cooked the feast. We opened presents, told stories, laughed, drank, and were merry. As much as I love Christmas every year, there is such a big sigh of relief after the dinner is done, the presents are opened, and everyone has [...]
Merry Christmas
Hope you all have a good one. I will be back in a few days to share some pictures from our festivities!

First I want to thank you all for your amazing responses regarding my last post on vegetarianism. I plan to do a follow up post as soon as I have the time, but I just had to say that all your sweet comments provided a lot of clarity to me regarding the situation. I seem [...]
Happy Fathers Day
Russ doesn’t like this picture because he thought I was only taking the picture of Lucy, but it is my favorite. Happy fathers day to the best daddy I know!
Christmas Photo
We were so close to not taking a Christmas photo this year. Two weeks before Christmas we had planned on taking pictures, but we got busy/lazy and I was not in a photographing mood at all. Somehow I convinced myself that it would be best if I didn’t send out holiday cards this year. The [...]
2011 Resolutions
Last night was probably the most quietly I have celebrated New Years since I was a very small girl. I usually like my New Years celebration to look a bit more like the image above when they are finished, but we had a nice time nonetheless. We celebrated the night with take out (carne asada [...]
