Snowstorm 2010

So much has happened over the past month, that it will take me hours just to get the photos and posts up. In the meantime, here are some fun shots of the kids (including the biggest one) playing in the few inches of snow we got today. Gigi and Claire are begging to go outside to enjoy it again!

Nesting Place

One of my favorite new websites is Nesting Place. The Nester's motto is, "It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful." This is my new rule when it comes to decorating our home. I tried to follow all the rules, but in the end, Nester's carefree, use what you love attitude toward decorating won me over. I now have mistreatments on my windows, and I am not ashamed.
Today Nester is having a wonderful giveaway for a $50.00 gift certificate to the Dayspring-Danielson Design Studio. Awesome. This is just one of their lovely personalized designs.
Don't forget to check out Nesting Place, and be prepared to fall in love.

Deacon Nelson Garcia

Looking back this has been one of the fastest years of my life. I can't believe our sweet boy is already a year old. It seems like yesterday he was fighting his way out into the world and I was holding him for the first time. Having a boy in the house has added so much joy and laughter to our family. He is an adventurous and good natured boy, always smiling as he finds trouble.
Happy birthday to our sweet Deacon!

We are able to give because He first gave

And, boy, were we blessed this Christmas. Of course, it is most fun for us to give to the little ones. We all had a great time, because they were old enough to appreciate the activities. We woke early in the morning, then woke the kids and let them annihilate the living room. Later that afternoon, 20 or so of our friends came over to enjoy dinner with us. The house was full with adults and kids running around, and it was such an enjoyable Christmas.

finally... boy toys!




Is this the face of a future doctor?

They'll hate me in the future, but this was too cute!


We're now slightly into our new year.
New year, new projects, new happy times.
We wish you much love and many blessings during this new year.
