Hey there! Sorry about the hiatus! I got a little intimidated  by all the new traffic after Simcha linked to my blog. How wonderful is she? Seriously!

(If you practice NFP, you really should purchase her new book, A Sinner’s Guide to Natural Family Planning. I’m in the middle of it now, and I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve laughed out loud. She’s funny, poignant and honest.)

So, I thought, now I must be funny and profound! Live up to Simcha’s beautiful review of my blog!…

And then, I remembered, this blog is actually about my adorable kiddos and the tales we have to tell. So, onward and upward! But also back to the basics: photos.

As a special treat, super cute photos of our Goddaughter in addition to our two rascals! While Diana and I enjoyed the Catholic Women Rejoice conference, our husbands were left with the girls. Apparently, they had a really good time. We should leave more often, hey Diana? If only we lived closer…

Three car seats! A vision of our not-so-distant future. Oh buddy…

My amazingly talented sister, Jessie, painted an interpretation of the Visitation for Elise’s first birthday.

Yeah, it’s gorgeous. If you’d like to commission her for something, drop me a line, and I’ll pass on her contact information.

We really do miss seeing the Thomas family on a regular basis, but were blessed to have them here all the way from Utah. If only for a weekend!
