What Jameson’s been up to. Dec 15
Lots of family meals!
With Aunt Mills on the tree farm.
The long awaited “‘now”.
Cutting the tree.
Lunch together.
Decking the tree.
A cozy family room.
Proud of his tree.
I guess I’m a lot of things: a wife, a mom, a daughter, a sister, a crafter, a cook, a reader, a writer, a homemaker, a pianist, and probably a lot more too. But at the end of the day, I’m just a Christian trying to find and obey God’s will.
about
Yup, my name is Danica. Like the race car driver, whose name I know, but whose career I know nothing about. A Nascar fan I am not. Things like reading, playing piano, gardening, cooking, sewing, writing, and keeping my bathroom bleached are more up my alley. Read more »My maiden name is Sinclair (not Patrick), and I come from good stock. (So says my husband, anyway!) I'm the oldest of 9 kids--and my parents are neither insane, uninformed, or Catholic. They're actually the best parents you could ask for. Seriously. (And, consequently, I think pretty highly of my siblings, too, whose blogs you can access from the links below.) I've joined a new clan, though, and my husband and I have been "leaving-and-cleaving" for 2 years and counting. We have a son who you'll read much (too much?) about. Oh. And there are pictures of him, too--hundreds of them--should you care to click on over to my flickr account. I'm a stay at home mom who is redefining that title--I literally stay at home as much as I possibly can. I love to be home! Home, by the way, is in Northern California, although my roots are in a lil' ol' town in Northern New York. Lastly, I take all blame for any ridiculous, outlandish, illogical posts. Anything worth commenting on or linking to is due to my husband's encouragement. In the spirit of the Little engine That Could, "He thinks I can, He thinks I can, He thinks I can,...", and sometimes, that's all a wife needs.

By the look on your face in the first picture I could tell it was breakfast. A quick visual search to find the sausages and pancakes confirmed my assumption. It totally looks like so much fun! I’m very happy you are able to be with family during this special time of year!

I stumbled upon your site and am wondering is that a moby wrap you are using? If so how do you like it? Thanks.

I love that Jared’s the only person at the breakfast table who looks remotely awake. Too funny. :)

@Cheryl: Yes, it’s a “moby” wrap. (Actually just a strip of jersey cut the dimensions of a Moby!) I am really enjoying how snuggly it is for William’s newborn days. It’s also a great design in terms of weight dispersion. MAJOR con, in my book: it’s inconvenient to put on. Trying to not drag 5 yards of fabric on the ground isn’t a piece of cake, and makes it tricky in public, I think. And it’s a process that (silly as it may be) keeps me from wearing William as much as I would otherwise. As soon as he’s too big for that in-utero feel, I’ll switch to my Ergo. Same weight dispersion, quick and easy buckles.

Great pictures!! What kind of camera are you using for these pics? The pics came out gorgeous and clear. I so need a new camera!

@Randi: They are nice pictures! They were actually taken with my dad’s camera, a Nikon D40. He LOVES it. And he bought it on EBay for a good deal.
