Edric’s Christmas Package
Twice a year we get to send a big package to Edric JoonSoo, at his birthday and at Christmas. I’ve gotten quite good at stuffing things into a zip lock baggie, so I was ready to stuff a box full of stuff for our little guy. Boxes are much easier to pack clothes in, especially […]
MoreArmstrong Christmas Letter 2014
So yeah. I have a number of beautiful Christmas cards hung around my fire place and have read a number of sweet Christmas letters that have made me smile, but alas we are a week from Christmas and I haven’t made or sent mine out yet. I think this makes at least 2 years in […]
MoreLadybugs in December
So I had promised not to make every post about a specific month, and I’ve included a couple this week that are not month specific, but here I am again. This started out as a simple question while making lunch for the boys a couple of days ago. I was really planning on much of […]
MoreLego Fire
For Christmas Leighton got a Lego Firehouse. And not just any Lego Firehouse, a Lego Firehouse that came with 753 pieces to be exact. He was so excited after he opened it Christmas morning he didn’t want to do anything else. It was so fun to watch his little eyes light up. And so he […]

MoreChristmas Cards
Or I guess I should say lack of Christmas cards. Not Christmas cards that we’ve received, we’ve gotten quite a few this holiday season (thank you everyone) but actually Christmas cards that we’ve sent. Or actually failed to send this year. Yep we didn’t do a single card this year. In retrospect we probably should […]
MoreChristmas Trees Part 2
Growing up every year my dad would cut off the bottom branches of the big family tree that we got and my brothers and I would get to put those branches in buckets of sand and decorate them and keep them in our rooms. It was one of my favorite memories of Christmas. We’ve been […]
MoreChristmas Trees
When Clint and I first got married we drove up to the mountains each year and cut down our own Christmas tree. Now I know that sounds super traditional and full of great memories. To be honest it was full of memories, not sure all of them were all that great. First off, we didn’t […]
