Yikes – I completely missed Jemma’s 13 month post. Probably because we were traveling for much of October and early November. We’ll consider this a catch up for both months … My sweet girl …You and I are becoming the very best of friends. Of course, I’ll always be your mama first, but spending each […]
If I get too serious around the holidays I get weepy. I just feel so blessed to be where I am in life with the people who mean the most to me. This Fall I framed a picture of Miss Jemma and tucked it in my kitchen window.Thanksgiving 2010 – when she wasn’t even 2 […]
Yes, I realize that 12 months is the same as 1 year, but 12 months puts me at ease. And, well, 1 year makes me want to panic. Do any of you mamas feel this way? Don’t blame me down the road if I’m all, “This is my daughter, Jemma, and she is 62 months.” […]

Jemma explores. So many adventures to be had with this little one! I love being home with her.
Awhile back I blogged about my idea for Jem’s 1st birthday. I decided to put the Tutti Fruitti theme on hold until she is 2 and run with the whole number/age alliteration (is that what you would call it?) and go for a 1 theme – Alice in Wonderland. Get it? Wonderland = One-derland :) […]
Dear Jemma, So many times this week Daddy and I have been amazed at how quickly you are growing up. It seems just like yesterday that we bundled up your tiny 8 pounds 10 ounces and traveled home to start our life as a family of three. Now we can hardly remember what it […]
