Before coming to Cali we knew that for Ains’ first birthday we would take the kids to Disneyland to celebrate at some point during our stay! Chris only gets 4 scheduled days off while we are out here so we knew it would be one of those days! Well…..Ainsleigh turns one Friday and today was […]

Heartache changes you.  You know a lot of my biggest most life changing heartaches I haven’t even blogged about.  The thing about heartache is…it changes your perspective on life.  It makes you softer (if you let it), it makes you more understanding (if you let it), it makes you love bigger and makes you more […]

I have had a number of people ask recently about posting “old” wedding photos! So here is just a taste of our day. Honeymoon pics coming soon as well… 

Well, I told you in this room post that we had done another room swap as well! Now that A Little Artsy is open we decided to move my studio for my art there and take my home studio and make it into a playroom!  The kids LOVE this room!
