Thankful

Let me just indulge for a moment: my life is so good. Chris is everything I could ask for, even more than I expected when I was initially so dazzled by him. My kids are, let's face it, really cute, and it is so fulfilling being with them each day. And we have no major stress in our lives. We do happy things together each and everyday, and our home is full of harmony and laughter. Sometimes I wonder when the other shoe will drop, like something's gotta give, but I mostly just revel in this life of mine. It really is that good, and I just wanted thank and glorify God for that.

Wreck-it Ralph

Chris took the girls to see Wreck-it Ralph today. It was Lucy's first time at the movies, and Olive's second. They had a blast!

At the Library Amphitheater

Every time we go to the library the kids want to put on a show in the amphitheater there. Here's our latest production.

How To Throw a Baby

Chris and Byron present, How To Throw a Baby

The Nativity Story, as told by the Barragan Family

Starring Olive as Mary, George as Joseph, Penelope as the Baby Jesus, and Lucy as the angel. They each used their blankies as their costumes, and of course Lucy also had on a princess dress and wings. I narrated, Chris directed, and Craig was here to snap some pictures. It was a sweet little activity...

...But then it somehow turned into a game of jumping off the coffee table and beating up Daddy.
