This is Home.....



So I have to admit that I have watched American idol religiously this season, I have never been a fan until now! I am a little torn between the two David's but I must admit David Archuleta won tonight! Last week David Cook sang dare you to move by switchfoot.
Jon & Tim are friends of Conner's. We were lucky enough to have Jon sing two songs at our wedding.
Anyhow this is Switchfoot's new video "This is Home" from the Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian. It strikes a chord with me at the moment. You know how you hear a song and you make it into exactly what your going through at the time? I have been doing that lately.

I find comfort in music.
I've come too far
Now I won't go back
This is home

Music to my ears!




My sweet friend Jen
emailed me these awesome rockabye cd's and thought it would be a good blog post, I agree! I have seen these cd's. I find myself listening to baby einstein and other nursery rhymes in the car latley, and most of the time I want to turn it off but Van loves to dance and move his arms around to anything playing on the radio. These entertain the kiddies and they are favorite songs that we the momma and pappas like to hear too. What a great idea!

Van jaming in the car to tunes, and showing you how big!

Paris, je t'aime



I found this photo of Van and my mom today as I was going through my Christmas photos, I had never seen it and I just love it. I just love hugs don't you? We should give at least 10 a day. Van loves to hug me all day long, it is the best thing ever. He also likes to pat me a lot too. I notice when he is around other kids he goes up to them and puts his head on theres even if he has never met them before. He is a warm soul, and he has a gentle heart.



I am really into Yael Naim's tunes these days. She is from Paris, and lately I have been dreaming about visiting.
YAEL NAIM & David Donatien work so well together in this album vocals and music are so harmonious. Check out some of their other songs!


Paris is calling me, ever since I watched Paris, je t'aime.
It is my kind of movie for sure through the neighborhoods of Paris, love is veiled, revealed, imitated, sucked dry, reinvented and awakened. Rent it if you haven't already seen it and curl up with your valentine, some wine, cheese & some good bread!

Conner is coming home tonight from his trip to florida, I missed him and his warm smile he brings me everyday. Van has said dad about 1 million times these past few days. He will be so happy to see him when he wakes up tomorrow (super bowl sunday) Have a good one!
