    Dena April 9, 2014

    Oh my sweet, little Roman. The past few weeks I’ve been looking at you and thinking — you are not a baby anymore, you are becoming a little boy. Last week you took your first step and since then you’ve taken a few more. You…

  • Ten-Month-Old Roman James

    Dena March 7, 2014

    A couple of weeks after Roman was born, we received a gift — a large picture frame containing twelve circles, one for each month of baby’s 1st year. At the time, that frame seemed irrelevant to us. Twelve months — ONE YEAR! — it will…

    I can’t believe it. I know, I know. I say that every month. But nine months is a big one, a really big one. It marks the point at which my baby has been outside of my body for longer than he was inside of…

  • Roman’s First Snowfall

    Dena November 13, 2013

    Yesterday morning we had our first snowfall of the year. The first snowfall is always magical but being that it was Roman’s very first, it was all the more special. Me being me, I just couldn’t resist bundling ourselves up & heading out into the…

  • Visit to the Pumpkin Patch

    Dena October 10, 2013

    Yesterday we took a little trip to the pumpkin patch. We got a few gorgeous pumpkins for our porch and a nice fat one for carving. Roman fit right into the patch with his little jack-o-lantern hat. I just love how these photographs turned out.…
