Girl’s Life

You can tell lately that Sophia is trying to stock pile hugs and kisses and quiet reading moments and loud playful moments with Chris and me (and the dog!) — storing them up for a time when mom and dad are a little more busy with a new baby. It’s almost like she’s onto the […]

My brother Greg was down to visit on Tuesday, and we met up with him for a quick trip to Disneyland. (Hey, if you’ve got season passes, it calls for a random day off mid-week sometimes to play!)

Also, my sweet, innocent Sophia somehow ended up as the sexy elf. Don’t know quite how I feel about that. Regardless, I hope you all are […]

I’ve held off much longer than I had planned to share the wonderful news with the internets. Yes, it is true–the past few months of silence and the smell of stale blog was not because I was ignoring you. No, never! I have just been sick as a dog in my first trimester of pregnancy.
