Let it Snow!









There was snow on the ground when we got here to Castle Rock, and then it snowed little tiny wet flakes a week later, but tonight it is SNOWING!  It's so beautiful, and so soft, the boys got their boots and coats on and had to go play, even though it's bed-time.  I know they're not the best pictures, but I just wanted to get something up quickly, I'm tired!

Browning Family Photos!

So, something was up with my camera and I couldn't get my shutter speed to speed up, so a lot of these have blurry faces or hands or whatever.  Sucky!




Everyone looks the best in this one, except Violet, but everyone already knows she's gorgeous!

Peek-a-Boo Maddy!

Happy Thanksgiving!


We're at home in Castle Rock, CO this beautiful Thanksgiving Day!  We have started the day with a lovely breakfast of pumpkin pie, complements of me, the executive chef of Ivy's Secret Garden, a Fine Dining Experience.  Violet loved her first pumpkin pie experience, as pictured below.  We then spent quality time as a family, and shared a very moving experience where we all talked about what we are thankful for.  Joe and Ben surprised me when after just the question of what we are thankful for they took the lead.  Joseph was very thoughtful, and Ben got a little emotional.  It was very sweet.  Some of what Joseph is thankful for are: our health, our home, the food we eat, that Jesus could give us a new baby, and his ears, so he can hear and listen.  Ben is thankful for: a mommy and daddy who love us, and the country we live in and that it is safe.  I am so grateful for my sweet and obedient boys who are so kind and loving to each other, and who are so healthy and strong.  
Drunk with pie!
