the little gard family

When you're gone so long where do you even start? So we are living and learning and staying busy. So lets just do two highlights. I had a baby! A super duper cute baby! And we went ice skating! And yes this was a bit ago, over Christmas break, but I...

Its been a while but I thought I'd just throw a few pictures up here from our trip. We went to Oregon to see my family and run the marathon. See my running blog for those pictures.

Yes we had a great Christmas so maybe will put a little post about it. As my kids have declared "this was the best Christmas ever!" I think they might be right it was pretty fun.
These are my cute little chicks a week or so before Christmas. I don't think I even asked them to pose this was just one of those impromptu feel good moments....

I just thought I'd catch up a little and post a picture of Lainy's birthday. My baby girl turned 2 on December 4th. This is the first time I've had a child turn 2 and I haven't been pregnant or just had a baby!! I love it!
So Elaina- she is a character. She is talking up a storm and has really become quite opinionated and really hard to get dressed in the morning since she must pick what she is wearing. She is funny, independent, POTTY TRAINED and sweet. Love my girl!...
