How much is that Momma-Deem in the Windoooo
Our little Helena is not so little anymore. She is fast approaching 2 1/2 years old and turning into quite the little comedian and songstress. One of her favorite songs is how much is that doggie in the window which she enjoys on YouTube. But I think she enjoys making new words to that song…
Read MoreWhat Happened to the Summer
It’s been a truly amazing summer. I honestly don’t know how to recap all of it and I know I don’t have the time to do so either. So I’ll just focus on the last couple weeks. Last weekend we took Helena to the New York Aquarium while we were visiting Auntie Bunny. I’m not…
Read More2 Years and Counting
It is almost impossible to believe that Helena is 2 years old already. I look back on the old photos that we have of her and I can’t believe how much she’s changed. Last year on her birthday she had no idea what was going on and had much more fun playing with the wrapping…
Read MoreFantastic Fourth
Me and my girls had a fantastic Fourth of July weekend! We started off with Helena’s first swimming lessons at the YMCA. I have to say that we were a little nervous about how she would do in the pool, but she showed us that our worries were unfounded. She got right in and had…
Read MoreA Week Without My Girls
My girls are back from a 1 week tour of Ohio and I couldn’t be happier. Since I wasn’t there I can’t speak too much about what they did, but they did seem to have fun. Helena is getting to be an excellent traveller apparently and she loved the zoo too. I myself learned that…
Read MoreMay 2011
This has once again been another crazy whirlwind of a month. Not sure how it got to be June already, but here we are. We got back from Texas the first week of May and after not seeing Helena for an entire week she looked and sounded like a totally different person. Her voice had…

Read MoreHello Guadalupe and Carlsbad Caverns
After saying goodbye to Big Bend National Park and a long drive (about 300 miles or so) we said hello to our next national park, Guadalupe Mountain NP. It’s definitely small by National Park standards but very pretty. We decided to hike into McKittrick Canyon despite being road weary and a little hiked out after…
Read MoreGoodbye Big Bend
We left BigBend this afternoon and had an amazing time there. Only real downside was the smog from Mexico, which was obscuring some views depending on which way the wind was blowing. Yesterday we let the smog dictate a different hike mid way through. We started up Emory peak, but opted for the South Rim…
Read MoreFarm to Market Road
Below are a few highlights of our drive from Marfa (along the Rio Grande) to Big Bend National Park. We seemed to stop every 5 min because it was so beautiful and you know how we love our pictures. We did a couple short hikes and had a wonderful picnic overlooking some enormous plateaus/mesas. We…
