Welcome to our little space of the web.

After buying a cute little mill house in Five Points, renovating it and thinking we would never live anywhere else we decided to move. To a rancher. A pink rancher. So not us. But, it will be, with time, elbow grease and good contractors! From the first time we walked in the front door we knew we were home. The new house is right around the corner from my parent's house where I grew up. We are so excited for Matthew and Charlotte to grow up here, riding bikes, going to the pool, playing in the woods... my childhood was filled with freedom and wonder allowed by a safe neighborhood that I could explore and make my place in the world. I am thrilled we can give that to our children.

These days our blog is filled with the adventures of Mateo and Charlotte...mixed in with a few home projects and recipes. But mostly the kids take front and center. Join us on the adventure!

Happy Mother's Day

The Friday before mother's day,  I had to stay late at work and last minute asked Paul to pick up Matthew from daycare.  I was so upset.  I live for my evenings with Matthew.  I love picking him up, talking with him on the short ride home and then getting home and starting our evening routine.  We sit on the sofa and play with his blocks and lovey, talk about his day, and snuggle.  Since I am at work all day, I let him nurse as much as he likes.  Once Paul gets home, he gets bath time with Daddy and then its time for bed.  Once he gets older, we'll add a book and prayer.  For now, he is usually out just after his bath.  Well, since I didn't leave work until almost 7pm I was quite upset that I probably missed out on my evening time with the Mateo.

I was in for quite the surprise!




When I walked in the house, I was greeted with a chatty Mateo, balloons and flowers and a card from both my boys.

Having a baby has changed every aspect of our lives.  I can barely remember the days before Matthew came along ad I am so thankful for this little man God has given us.
