Blake's Church Project



This year Blake is preparting to recieve his First Holy Communion. It is so amazing to see how his faith has blossomed this year under the amazing grace of his wonderful teacher Ms. Martinez, or as those who have the priviledge of working with her like to call her...Saint Angela. The students just turned in their church diorama's. Blake and I had so much fun working together on this special project. He was so proud of how it turned out.

Amelia's Nursery






I finally finished Amelia's nursery. I have to tell you, decorating for a little girl is so much more fun than boys. I am just thrilled at how the room came out. I got really lucky out how well things came together. The beautiful bedding from Restoration Hardware was purchased for me by some amazing families from my class, the dresser my mom and I found at a consignment store and was a gift from my parents, the beautiful crib was loaned to me by a friend I teach with and the little cabinet has been passed around for years. I just changed out the knobs. My favorite part of the whole nursery is the beautiful quilt Georgie made for me. She could not have made a more perfect quilt for sweet Amelia....I love it more than words can express. The little pink dress hanging on the cabinet was mine and the cabinet is filled with my Beatrice Potter collection of books and figurines. As a child every Easter I recieved a new book and the figurine to go with it. I love that this room is filled with the love of so many amazing friends and family. She is one blessed little girl.

One of my favorites


My mom took this while watching Amelia one day while I was working. I just love this one! I sure hate to leave her, but she is in very good hands...GRANDMA'S!

Happy Valentine's Day





Look at those chubby legs...love it.

Amelia was exactly three months old on Valentine's Day. I couldn't resist buying her a special outfit. I think she looks pretty darn cute!

Swim Day in January





It was a beautiful winter day in the desert. We couldn't resist a pool day. This was Amelia's first time in the pool.
