Time to love...

Well, there has been a lot to love in the first month and a half of 2009. Mic went to Germany for work and arrived safely back home. He hasn't been traveling a lot which has been great for us. He's been able to work from home working on all the end of the year paperwork.



We've had lots of family time together. Hikes in the desert, dancing and games at home and lots of crafts and movies too. The most enjoyable part of our life is watching our children grow. Carrick is three months old now and starting to turn 360's on the floor. He cracks up at the antics of his big sister and as Grandmama says, his "only job is to make [her] smile." While Giulia needs to be held more than usual, we smile and praise her for being such a big sister. She is wonderful with Carrick and still keeps us all panting just trying to keep up with her.

We couldn't ask for more blessings in our life. We hope you enjoy our photos as much as we enjoyed making these memories.

God Bless,
the De Min's

Ready for the new year...

Well, it's 2009. Another year has started and we already have so much to share. We've taken photos of most of it and if you read the captions you'll know where we are and what we're doing. They are pretty well narrated so you could probably skip everything below. :D

Mic was home faithfully for two weeks after Carrick arrived. We had a wonderful time being together as a family and just getting to know our little man and of course, resting. I broke my pubic bone during delivery and that is proving to be the slowest thing to heal. It still pains me and I am very slowly getting back to normal activites. Hiking is still out of the question.

Ok, I've decided that I spent a lot of work putting captions on the pics, so read them. That's the main reason people come to the site anyway.

The rest of Novemeber....
