Family time.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.  ~Albert Camus, Lyrical and Critical Essays

Blue sky...Geese flying high


Snow is melting..hello sun.



Splashing in puddles on a sunny day.

Snow-covered grass

Hello, Colorado mountains.

The sun felt absolutely wonderful.

"The moon mommy" - Our daughter announced loudly. 

Breakfast pastry: prepared by my husband.// apples, raisins, spices, and a bit of glaze. 

Kimchi spicy noodle.// Rice cake, noodles, kimchi, seaweed, egg, green onion, peppers, garlic, and a few other spices. -Sure to warm you up on a cold day.

A card for Daddy-From our daughter.

The letter A- Our daughter has been working very hard on this, and she just doesn't know just how proud I am of her. -She'll be 3 this April. :)






Our Art night. bottle caps, straws, twisty ties, TP rolls-and more. Create, and enjoy. 

Our days-*Sunny/snowy day adventures. Long walks. Splashing in puddles. Sun-kissed skin, and enjoying our family time. Baking and preparing meals. -With pregnancy, there come a lot of changes. -I've been so sleepy, but I'm managing to stay awake with an energetic toddler.- Painting, practicing letters, puppet shows, and silly dancing. -This seems to help us get through our day. How are your days spent?

**I would like to thank those who shared in our exciting news on baby #2. Thank you all for your kind words. I appreciate it so much.- I'm managing my morning sickness, and sleep comes and goes. I'm patiently waiting for my next appointment. -We're all very excited, and I've been a little drained.**

      Kristy, thank you! I hope the snow melts quickly for you all. Our daughter absolutely loves going to the park, and so with it snowing, we haven't gone as much as we'd like. Hopefully we can all get some warmer weather soon. Thank you for stopping by. :)
