Lazy Saturday
It’s been wonderful Saturday morning of reading books to each other and making forts out of the recyclables for our “guys”. What a great way to start the day! Happy Saturday!

One step closer to being big girls
Yesterday the we took the girls to get their first haircuts. It was more like a trim to cut off the straggly baby hair. It’s quite possible that the trim is only noticeable to Brian and I. But none the less they had their first haircuts. Before I was a parent I didn’t understand why […]
What have we been doing?
Well lots… playing with our new toys…drum set (yes full on drum set), food and dishes, chutes and ladders, puzzles, wearing our new rainboots everywhere, snowmobiling, making snowmen and snow forts, playing with cousins, getting some quality time with high school friends, eating lots of good food, making ice cream out of the abundance of snow, remembering how to […]
The happenings

Nothing but fun!
Here are some pics of some fun things we’ve been doing. Last night we went to the park with our staff team and had dinner. Then we let the kids play in the creek and they had a ball! We’ve lived in Chico for 4 years why haven’t we done this yet? I don’t know. […]
1 little man and 2 girly girls
One of the best things about about being home for us is seeing how much the kids have changed since we were last home in May. While we were gone we could see subtle changes but now that we are back in our normal environment we are comparing what they used to be able to […]
