Mr. Nehemiah Judson

Many have asked how Mr. Nehemiah is doing.  I thought today would be as good a day as any to give you all a brief update on our adorably handsome most recent addition. When he arrived three months ago, he was: Pretty scared. Kind of angry. Definitely confused. Basically dazed. We didn’t know what to…

The Hunt

This year Dw and I will have celebrated  35 Christmas’ married. Every year {with only 2 exceptions – for medical reasons} we have gone to cut down our Christmas trees. The tradition is one that we can’t miss. It’s just too stinkin’ fun. This year we wandered up to Flagstaff… we’d tried to get a…

It was April 2011 that Emma and I…

Taunting Mommy

Friday night was an especially sweet all around memory-making night. After dinner, the little ones were being exceptionally rowdy.  There is a long hall, with a tile floor, leading off the kitchen to the three kids bedrooms.   They have enjoyed racing down that hallway quite a few times.
