Happy 2013! I hope you had a great holiday season. Mr. Petrie and I took our first ever trip- by ourselves. The kids stayed with my parents and had lots of fun. Now they periodically tell me in a wistful voice how they miss the undivided attention of their grandparents. I don’t really have any [...]
It’s our eleven year anniversary this weekend. Wow. Where does the time go? I am grateful every day to have found such an honest, loving, loyal man in Mr. Petrie. Have a great day. p.s. This picture was taken while hiking at the Valles Caldera in northern New Mexico, near Los Alamos.
Happy birthday, Miss PD! You are two years old today. You were born on a snowy day in a speeding van and you have the energy of someone born at 50mph! By all miracles, you were born without complication and in perfect health. The tenacity you showed me during your birth is apparent in your [...]
Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction. -Antoine de Saint So true! Enjoy your day.
Last week I took the girls for vaccinations. Miss Petrie needed them before school started. They did really well! Miss PD only cried for a few seconds and Miss Petrie cringed, but didn’t cry. Miss Petrie bought these snazzy Sketchers with her allowance money. She has wanted them for months. She’ll appreciate them more because [...]
My cousin Annie came to visit us when Mr. Petrie was out of town. We had such a great time. My girls love her. Annie recently changed her diet to exclude gluten, so we went to some healthy restaurants and enjoyed fancy-schmancy Whole Foods. The delicious food in the above photo is from Annapurna, a [...]
My baby is one! This was her one year ago. And here she is as a big one year old. We had a big birthday week for her beginning with a little playgroup bash. I made pink minicupcakes with a bit of whipped cream on top. Miss Petrie Deux is eating everything, including peanut butter. [...]
My mother-in-law knitted me this lovely scarf for Christmas. It is hard to tell from the photo, but the main color of the scarf is taupe and it has a darker brown crocheted edge. The scarf is really long and varies in width. I know I will enjoy this gift for many years to come. [...]
Miss Petrie is 5! I still cannot believe that our tiny baby is almost ready for kindergarten. Miss Petrie was born three days after we moved into Casa Petrie. Miss Petrie was a delightful baby! She loves people and has always enjoyed attention. She’s quite the extrovert. When Miss Petrie was a baby we took [...]
We have enjoyed the company of family the past few weeks. Fall in New Mexico means perfect weather and lots of fun stuff to do. First, Mr. Petrie’s parents visited. We watched the hot air balloons from this hiking area above the city. Then my parents visited. We were so excited to take them to [...]
