Ryne Clinton

He's finally here! All 9 lbs 4 oz and 22.5 in of pure sweetness! I can't put into words how blessed I am to have him, my heart is completely full.

Easter 2011

We spent this Easter in Leesburg, Virginia. The Easter bunny surprisingly found us to drop off a few things and then we headed to the golf course for a beautiful day with friends.

a happy anniversary to us!

Today we celebrated three fantastic years together.  Usually, we go for a getaway, but this year we went low key with a family trip to Wally World and to the vet.  We had a scrumptious dinner at Maggiano's courtesy of Mom and Dad, thank you!

Happy 2010!

Wishing you and yours many blessings and good health for the new year.  I'm excited to see what this year has in store for us, what new things it will bring and what places we will go.  Cheers, everyone!
My resolutions for this year:

• eat healthier all the time, including when out to eat and social gatherings
• express my gratefulness more, mostly to my husband
• cross the finish line of a half marathon
• spend more time with the girls working on letters, letter recognition, handwriting, etc.
• more patience

merry christmas!

as expected, the girls woke up extra early (you can see out the window it's not daylight yet) to see what surprises santa brought for them.  lucy was delighted with her new barbie bike that has streamers along with a mini bike for barbie to ride with her.  edy was excited about her new baby stuff but disappointed that santa did not bring a baby to go with it!  maybe next year?

we opened a pile of presents

and then tried them all out

went back to the sled hill, this time for dog sledding, hysterical!  charlie, actually, gave me a few rides up the hill when matt threw a stick for him to chase.  and we discovered if you hold onto the leash while sledding down, he'll give you one heck of a ride!  we had a great time.

and then took barbie out for some fresh air

we missed the rest of our family, but enjoyed our day.  we are so blessed!

twas the night before christmas...

this year these floridians/texans were able to enjoy our first beautiful white christmas and uncle matt joined us for it.  we did lots of sledding and hot chocolate consuming.

went to candlelight service at church,

opened one present from aunt holly (santa jammies), sprinkled our magic oatmeal for the reindeer and put out cookies and milk for the big guy...

which were eaten in a hurry.

and then he came with a sack full of goods!

merry christmas to all and to all a good night!
