Loving /// experiencing Christmas time with a 3 year old. It’s freakin’ magical! Everyday she talks about baking a cake for Jesus’ birthday, coloring pictures to leave for Santa and picking out a gift for Max. It snowed this week and I’ve planted a firm obsession with hot almond milk cocoa in my girl’s heart. Oh Christmas, we love you ’round here!
Wishing /// some of my favorite people didn’t live so far away. We’ve got family and close friends in Idaho, California, Texas and Georgia now. I want everyone home for the holidays! And this … I’m wishing for this too :)
Moving /// bedrooms around … AGAIN. Last month we were asked if we would welcome a second international student into our home from January through June and we said yes! So, goodbye guest room – hello second teenager!
Riding /// Rody
. Well, the kids are. This guy provides so much laughter around here. I’m thinkin’ we’ll need a second in the next year so Jem + Max can race :)

Plusalso, I’m finally working on an alphabet book for the kids! We’ll see how long it takes me … some of my favorites so far are C for coffee, H for horse, U for uncle and W for wear (as in babywearing).
