Hit the Deck!

The cousins are coming! You would think since everyone is a year older, more mature that company coming would not be a surprise. That we could plan and clean days in advance. Not.




T minus 10 hours and counting! The Cousins are coming!

Merry Christmas!

From me and the three wise men!

Away in a Manger

No crib for a bed,
Little baby Ryan laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
Little baby Ryan asleep in a tuba case- for real....all night. He's not faking, he's really asleep and it's like 8am!
