Baker Extraordnaire

M and I made cookies to share with friends the other day. She was nothing short of adorable in the kitchen.

Pigtails!

Baby H at 20 months

Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Day

Recently the older two girls went to their friend Jaydn's birthday party. A and I decided to go for a hike with the wee babe. So much fun packed in to a few short hours! (Too much fun for H, apparently.)

After almost six years here, I sometimes still can't believe we live in such a beautiful place.

Going...

Going...

Gone.

Happy girls. Thanks for the great party, Mann family!

To Each Her Own

Usually all three girls are veeeeeeery relaxed when it's video time, but E chose a new path today. Her sisters, unaffected, maintained their usual position.

Little Miss Long Locks

Sweet E is 3 1/2 and has not yet gotten a haircut. Bless her. But her hair is finally growing! The other day, I discovered I could braid her hair. And so I did. And I couldn't stop snapping pictures.

Oh, those dimples. Going strong since day one.

Paintbrushes and Facial Hair - February Recap

 

After being painted on by her younger sister. Oops.

His beard grew.

And grew.

And then he shaved his head. I love him.

Valentine's roses from Mr. Zenz.

And then I had a birthday.

My Bearded Valentine

My husband has a great deal of facial hair these days, and I'm okay with that. It's just that when I see pictures of it, I'm still a little taken aback. Dear heavens, that's a huge beard.

January Outside

January Inside

Here is a quick recap of some favorite indoor January moments here at Zenz Life.

 H snuggles with Aunt Amy

 AZ, I love you. You are the perfect father for our three baby girls.

Jet-Plane Mommy

A few weekends ago, I had the fabulous opportunity to visit my sister Carrie and brother-in-law Dan in Texas (and sister Amy flew in from California, too!). It was my first solo trip since...um, 2002. Every bit of it was lovely. And my sweet husband more than survived at home with the girls. He thrived, making most of every moment the weekend offered.


My dreamy weekend...

 

 

 

Meanwhile, back in Colorado...

 

Bon Jovi, Baby

One of the many, many, many joys of being a parent is watching your kid sing songs you used to rock out to via cassette tape. My heart swells.

How I Wonder

New Year's Day. Right after naps. They may be a little sleepy, but they're nothing short of adorable.

Hello, Twenty Eleven

My heart is brimming with love for these little women as this new year takes flight.
