new life.

This is the birthing story of our friends living in Oakland, CA. It is a must read. It is the story of Caitlyn Camille's arrival. ~ enjoy  (click on her name)

what a night.

Zach and I just hosted our very first "Christmas Sweater Party". The object was to wear the the worst sweater you can find. I couldn't find one - but I did find a dress for $5 at the thrift shop. I tried my best to look like I was out of the 70's, parted my hair and wore frosted lipstick and everything. Oh well. Below are some photos of a super fun night.

(more photos to come...having trouble uploading or is it downloading) 

They're up on facebook.

                   

advent.

Greetings and happy advent. I am swimming in a sea of school work trying to remember that we have entered the wonderful advent season. By this time next week I will be finished with my first semester of school. At that point I hope to embark on the makings of Christmas presents and taking more photos! Zach and I just visited our dearest friends Matt, Flo and their son Benjamin. It was great. We drove down to Georgia to see them - it only took 5 hours. Here is a glimpse of that trip and our Thanksgiving day with some new friends. It was my first attempt at putting together a Thanksgiving meal - note to self, you don't get a nap on T-day when you are the cook. However, I DID IT - with many thanks to Lydia and Lauren!! ~ cheers

    

   

   

Now for our trip to Georgia to see the Naults...

  

How can you not fall in love with this adorable face!
