God's Creation

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. ~Romans 1:20

Only God could create the unique and amazing landscape of the Galapagos Islands!

Journey to the Center of the Earth

Dave and I celebrated Christmas this year in Ecuador! We spent a few days on the mainland of Ecuador before spending the majority of our time in the Galapagos Islands (I will post later). If you travel to Ecuador, you must go to the "equator line." For most of our trip, we honestly didn't know which hemisphere we were in.

New Name

One of my new year's resolutions is to blog more frequently, but first I want start out with a new blog title! Dave & Mandi is too boring, so I need help. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Dave and I went to Galapagos Islands for Christmas!! We had a wonderful time and I plan to post pictures soon. I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas!

Weekend with old friends and babies!

Dave and I spent a much needed weekend away from home! Luckily, Dave's old roommate from A&M and my good friend from A&M live fifteen minutes apart in Keller. We were able to spend one night with each of them. At Sarah's house, I got to play with her two kiddos. Cameron (2 and 1/2 years) loves reading and putting together puzzles! He will make a great student. And Trevor (13 months) is very laid back. He was happy just being held.
Dave's old roommate, Randy and his wife Mandy have a three month old baby. I got to meet Sophia for the first time. I loved holding her...she was too sweet! Did you notice that Trevor and Sophia's bellies were both showing? :) Healthy babies!

Since I'm showing off babies, here is a recent picture of Abigail. Dave and I babysit her once a week. She is 16 months old. We love spending time with her!

Wondering about the remodel? We should be getting the interior walls textured this week so we can start painting. Here is an updated picture of the exterior. We have recently had the trim painted, gutters installed, and new landscaping. It is starting to look much better.

Happy Halloween - 80's Style

I love it that my school allows the kids and teachers to dress up for Halloween! At the end of the day Friday, we have a costume parade to show off all the great costumes.

Twin Diaper Cake

Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE baby showers?!! They are a great excuse for craft time. I made this diaper cake for boy/girl twins.

Cowboy Diaper Cake

I'm back to blogging! I have been busy the last five weeks teaching and working on our house so I haven't had much to blog about. However this week I made a little time to make a diaper cake! This one is for a cowboy/western nursery.
