It is really the last day of 2010? I swear the year just started. And now it’s over. Wow. December has been a slower month in terms of Windham-ness. It’s been busy, with settling into our apartment, becoming official Texans again and meeting new people. But, we have been able to have a lot more [...]

As I mentioned yesterday, we took an impromptu trip to San Antonio this week. As we were heading out of town, Jonathan turns to me and says “Do you want to swing by the AT&T Center?” Now, my friends, that might mean nothing to you. But the AT&T Center is where our beloved Spurs play. [...]

We spent an unexpected day in San Antonio yesterday. Jonathan’s good friend {and best man from our wedding} was in town from California. We haven’t seen Billy since Julia was just a baby. This visit we saw his whole family, including his sister who has two kids. We didn’t get home until after midnight. But [...]

I’m still in shock that Christmas is over. Every year, after the food has been consumed, presents opened, friends or family have left, and the stillness of post-Christmas life set in, I’m always a little sad and shocked that things happened so quickly. This year was no exceptions. It was a busy, fun {with some [...]

Six years ago today, Jonathan proposed. And it was beautiful, wonderful and worthy of little girl daydreams. As my college graduation celebration, Jonathan and I took a 5 week trip to Europe. On December 26th, we spent the day visiting the Louvre. When we left I was famished. So when Jonathan drug me down [...]

I love Christmas carols. And I love flash mobs. I mean, who doesn’t like random out bursts of song and dance? Then put Christmas carols with flash mobs. It’s like you had me at hello. And I shared this video last year, but had to pass it along again.

It’s been 7 years since I was in Texas for Christmas. Since 2004 I have celebrated Christmas in colder climate areas. So it’s been a transition to go from 30 degree weather to 70+ degree weather during the holidays. But there have been some great holiday highlights over the past several weeks: 1. Random Christmas [...]

Our family will no longer be celebrating Christmas. That seems hard to grasp, since without question, Christmas is my favorite holiday. But it’s true. Our family will no longer be celebrating Christmas in the American style. Our daughters will not open Christmas presents, there will be no exchange. We will not be checking our gift [...]

Since being married, Jonathan and I have never spent a Christmas with our families. Not that we didn’t want to, we did. But we lived too far away and never had enough time off work to make a trip happen. Last year we were able to go to my parents’ for Thanksgiving and loved it. [...]

One desire I have for my girls is that they would grow up cooking along side me. At times it can be quite overwhelming having a 3 year old and a 1.5 year old “helping” me, but I am always looking for ways to incorporate them. Our family makes a lot of homemade tortillas and [...]
