After 14 years away, I am really enjoying the beauty of the high desert.

Happy Christmas to my cherished family and friends!

Happy solstice. May this dark season bring you light.

I’m an auntie! I’ve got another sweet nephew, Finley Ward, welcome!

Miss Daphne has now learned to swim across the pool without any assistance, no help from me, no floaties, nothing. As a reward, we got her some spiffy new goggles! Check these out! She thinks they are pretty cool!

We routinely go swimming 1-3 times each week. It is a fun way for the kids to get out of the house and exercise. I do have an underwater housing for the video camera, so I get to take video of the kids under the water.

After 400 days of hand milking, every morning, rain, shine, illness… without even one day off, today was the start of a much needed break.

So excited for the Mcminnville Nutcracker next weekend. Get your tickets today and come see Miss Daphne (and many other talented dancers).

Strawberries + freshly flakes oatmeal = love!
