Tuesday, June 4, 2013. The Butterfly Garden Experience. Ophelia was always curious about nature and the outdoors, but after attending this school, she has become a totally outdoorsee person. Nowadays, she asks me all the time to go play out in the backyard, and she'd rather do that than watch TV! She has become into collecting rocks and has a her rock collection/treasure box. She recognized different kinds of birds. She picks up rolly-pollies without a wince (Yuk! This was their thumb-print ants. Oph...

Saturday, January 18, 2014. The Hard Life of Cruising. I remember this trip, but it seems like it was a wonderful dream! It went by waaaay to quickly. I've waited for our anniversary cruise for months and then it was over all of a sudden. Some people don't like cruises, this was my first one, and I LOVED IT! I'd go back in a heartbeat! The morning of our departure Ophelia said: "Let's make a list of things that make us laugh! Day 1: Departure day. I took a lot of pictures of the food.well.that is...There...

Monday, February 25, 2013. 29 1=Happy Birthday to us! Emerson and I have many years ahead of to celebrate our birthdays together! Actually, as I get older (29.no joke! I feel like celebrating my birthday less and less, so it's kind of cool that Emerson has his special day so close to mine, so I can get a piece of Birthday cake without even celebrating my own b-day! She filled 29 helium balloons (the plan involved our RS president, Cindy Haag, come over with a helium tank, to fill balloons! All his memori...

Thursday, February 27, 2014. The Third Decade Is Over. What a depressing post title. I know! It just has been a bit hard for me to break away from the twenties and accept the fact that I am thirty now. There is nothing I can do about it and time will only move forward faster from here on now, but I just such a great third decade of my life that I am going to miss that a lot! It gives me hope that in the resurrection we are all going to be in our twenties :). Feels just like 29! Doubling up with Mark and ...

http://thejoysofourjourney.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 22, 2013. I could begin each post about Ophelia's birthday with words: "I can't believe I am a Mom of -year old! Because that's how I feel every time she turns a year older! She is just growing up so fast. I feel that especially this summer she has just sprouted! Emerson tries hard to keep up, flailing his little pudgy arms by his sides as he runs, and yells "fas! Ophelia just looked at her questioningly and answered: "Letters! Oh, the theme that she picked and I made her stay with it o...

Monday, March 24, 2014. They had a ton of fun and so did we! We stayed in a hotel in Fredericksburg that served delicious Texas shaped waffles in the morning, which was a favorite for my birthday boy. Here we are dining at a German restaurant connecting PJ with his German roots! Also just this weekend I found out there is a town by Houston called Williamson that was started by Mormons and this Williamson family basically stayed in this town and multiplied and created a little piece of Utah here in Texas!

Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Made me and PJ crack up! Texas winters are kind of dry, lots of static here:. Both the kids are struggling with dry skin throughout the winter months. We use lots of hydrocortisone, which Ophelia calls "hydro-quarters". My friend Natalie shared some Krispy Kreme joy with us. The kids were in heaven:. Pretty much the first week that PJ was off work, he got the flu. Not just some little flu, he got THE FLU! My friend Candace makes the best gingerbread ever! I love its smell, bec...
