Friday Short List: Highlights from my week

Friday, September 10th, 2010

1. We took Cora to the beach (well, the har­bor) on Mon­day. Our friends that we spent the hol­i­day with live in Point Loma about five min­utes (walk­ing) to the ocean. Matt and I aren’t huge beach peo­ple, so we haven’t been to the ocean ALL SUMMER! We walked down to the har­bor and let Cora […]

The library.

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

I took Cora to the library yes­ter­day. I know what you’re think­ing… here we go… another post about a “Cora first”. And technically—yes—it was Cora’s first trip to a library, so obvi­ously I took a zil­lion pic­tures as you’ll see below (what’s new?). But if I’m being hon­est… this post is more about me and my crazy book […]

Geppetto’s toy store.

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Today was an amaz­ing day! After church, Matt, Cora and I met up with my brother, Jonathan, and his fam­ily, and brother, Jamin, and his girl­friend.

School Supplies!

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

I was at Tar­get today. While wan­der­ing the aisles I passed by their annual dis­play of fall school sup­plies. If you’ve ever been in a tar­get between the months of July and Sep­tem­ber, I’m sure you’ve seen it—pretty hard to miss—an entire sec­tion of the store is cleared out in order to stock bins full of glue […]

Toys for Cora

Sunday, June 6th, 2010

When I was a lit­tle girl, my mom made me a doll… from scratch. She had brown yarn for hair, hand-made clothes… a mauve col­ored dress with small flow­ers, embroi­dered face details, every­thing so detailed, so intri­cately made just for me. I loved it to pieces… really. It ended up thrashed by the time I out­grew toys. I loved a lot of things […]
