Baby

Introducing Liesl Aurelia!

Who has time to blog when one is growing a baby and then loving that sweet, perfect baby when she arrives?! Lots of catching up to do, but I will start with the best and then (hopefully) fill in some gaps later on. Sweet, perfect Liesl Aurelia was born on December 13, two days past

Been too long…

Since I have visited this place to record our days and preserve our memories. We are down to one computer, so my time on it is limited, as is my quiet time to think and reflect here. So many, many changes since then. It was one very long, very hot summer. A summer spent close

More science (or one-baby wrecking crew!)

I couldn't believe these two were working together! Uh-oh, look who's coming! Head 'em off at the pass! He's ba-ack! Wait, not yet! We're not done. Not so fast, little guy! Should we let him? He's worked so hard to get here! Success! 🙂

Things I should be blogging….

I am so, so woefully behind with blogging. No real excuses, other than the eternally optimistic idea that I will blog when I have some quiet time to think and put my thoughts together. So, here I am, months of life unrecorded. Birthdays, holidays, visits, and cute little moments. Like when Katherine hugs Augustine and

Too short a time

Just over four weeks ago, I found out that I was carrying twins. After a moment's disbelief, I cried tears of joy over this incredible blessing. I really never thought it would happen to us. I texted Court, asking him if he liked the names Huck and Tom, or Mary and Martha, or maybe Lochlain
