Love.

My valentine for the seventh year. Here's to many more years.

Anna's First Pony Ride!

We went for pony rides this past Sunday in celebration of Hadessah's (Anna's cousin) 2 year old birthday! Anna loved riding her pony, Brownie, with daddy leading the way.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the hardworking, dedicated mamas out there! I'm very blessed to spend my day with my loyal, loving husband, sweet little girl, and soon-to-arrive baby boy. Anna slept in until 8:30am this morning, giving daddy and I a chance to enjoy breakfast with each other (a wonderful mother's day gift). Baby David has decided to not kick me too hard today, which I also appreciate. We heard a wonderful Mother's Day sermon by Pastor Dave this morning and then headed up to the Rockies to enjoy a picnic lunch at the old Loveland Waterworks. Anna was looking for "sheets" (a.k.a. big horn sheep) the whole time, telling us she saw some in the trees and river, too. Alas, no actual sheep sightings, but we had a really nice day together as a family. :) We got to spend Friday evening with Grandma Karen and Aunt Zoey (and the rest of the crew) and hopefully tonight we can Skype with Grandma Kathy.

All the world would be wise.

"I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable." -Anne Morrow Lindbergh
