Taos, NM

We had the pleasure of a vacation the week between Christmas and New Year where my parents took care of Jude and we got to visit Taos, NM. We went with my awesome brother-in-law and lovely sister-in-law and it was so much fun. Let me tell you, they know how to do road trips well! [...]

Beach Bums

We are back from the sunny world of Florida! Turns out that as much as Jude didn’t like the snow from our Colorado trip in January is about as much as he adored the sand from this past week. What can I say, he takes after his mama. He sat and played in the sand [...]

Somehow, in the course of conversation with two of my favorite ladies, I managed to misspeak and say something about five seasons, quickly realized my mistake and we all spent a few minutes laughing and teasing. Then we decided that [...]

the kitchen

You’ll have to excuse the iPhone picture but we were really lazy and just didn’t take many ‘good’ pictures with our nice camera! This was the beautiful kitchen I cooked in while we were on vacation. It was amazing. Double oven. Griddle in the center of the eight burner stove. Cappuccino machine. I miss it already. [...]
