On January 12, 2010 an earthquake literally shook an entire nation to pieces. The outpour of support, aid and assistance from all over the world has been awe-inspiring, but 2 years later, the Haitian people are still rebuilding. While buildings and man-made creations remain scarred and damaged, the true foundation, the spirit of the Haitians is stronger today than ever. Over the last 2 years,

Pumpkin decorating, Sesame Street friends, Shamu and friends, and trick or treating in the neighborhood. That pretty well sums up our Halloween family weekend. Gram and Grandad took the girls to the pumpkin patch earlier this week. They each came home with little bitty pumpkins to decorate. The intense focus they had as they colored on their pumpkins absolutely cracks me up. They are too,

Goodness gracious! It has been forever since I updated this blog. What a fun and busy summer this turned out to be.

And with 2 toddlers, the name of the game is lots of bang, lots of options for a quick change of plans and as little money as possible. We are very blessed to be centrally located in Texas. Last summer we camped near Houston, so we could take advantage of the zoo and children's museum all while camping in our

As we began re-connecting and acquainting ourselves and our families, a common bond was certainly our shared legacy and family history. She has done some wonderful and extensive work on Ancestry.com, tracing our Cornish family back to the earliest days of America at Plymouth. With the passing of my grandmother last

A day in the Tulsa Parks

Because the trip to Tulsa was such a long drive with the girls in the truck, it was important to us to have a few days to spend in Tulsa. The last thing I wanted to do was pack up the girls for a 8-9 hour drive up there, go to Mema's funeral and then just turn around and head home. The extra day or so before and after the funeral gave us a chance to drive around, see some of the old haunts and
