Happy Birthday Vara!!

Today our girl has turned THREE!!! We love.love.love her and think she is perfect for us.


She woke to a room full of balloons, had frenchtoast with blueberries and candles for breakfast, and some playtime and lunch with friends. Thank you for the gifts!!
After a good nap, we worked outside cutting branches and shrubs. Nothing like hard work on your birthday!
Nana and Papa came over after dinner with an IceCream cake and a gift of dress-up clothes. Vara was really into it...


Thank you to everyone for loving our girl!

Attention Knitters

Okay, so with three little ones, I find myself very tired at night. Most nights too tired to sew, to tired to read, etc.

This is not a "woe is me" post, just a quick preface to my admitting that....... I sit infront of the tube almost everynight!! Yes, I know, not the most productive activity. Therefore, I really need a new sitting hobby. I want to learn how to knit. Ive been thinking about it for months and am super ready to get started. I have done a little research and feel completley overwhelmed on where/how to start.

So, to all those who knit (and I know there are tons out there) please offer some pointers for me to get started.
Thank you, thank you!

Happy Birthday Beck!! (updated)

Our little Buddle is ONE!!!








We are so thankful for our little Beck! He is cuter than ever. Happy Birthday Buddle!

We had a fun day celebrating. While Reid was off with a friend, Vara and I took Beck for a long bike ride. We ended the day with a simple dinner and carrot cake with Nana and Papa.
