My birthday came and went in a blink! But I am so grateful for my family and friends that made it special for me. The years truly go so quickly and I am doing my best to try and savor them with all of my favorite people.
Sarah’s 8th Birthday
Our little Sarah girl. She is light and joy and goodness and patience and love and we were so happy to celebrate her on this very special birthday. I think possibly my favorite thing Sarah said about her birthday is this: “I’m kind of glad my birthday is on a Sunday. That way it can …
Mark’s 40th Birthday
Last week we celebrated our favorite man’s birthday. He wanted to spend it in nature and we were all game! Rocky Mountain National Park was calling…and we came! We went to Rocky Mountain last autumn for the first time – and we loved it but it was cold and snowy and so we weren’t able …
Clegg Family Reunion
Last month we made our way west to spend some time with family. We loved spending a week in one of our favorite places with some of our favorite people. We played games, spent time with our Moldenhauer family, went on walks with the pups, had long talks, ate LOTS of food, read Harry Potter, …

Memorial Day
We had such a delightful Memorial Day. The weather was *perfect* in our book – 60s and sunny – and it was FILLED. We spent a slow morning at home and then were invited over to a friend’s home for lunch. We are so grateful to them for inviting us. It was so much fun …
Valentine’s Day
Ever since we got back from Disneyland our house has become a topsy-turvy crazy mess! The weekend before Valentine’s Day, Mark was offered the position in Colorado and on Valentine’s Day, he formally accepted! It was the best. The only downfall is our life has become consumed with all of those details involved. But we …
New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve was SUPER relaxed at the Berning house this year! We ate our New Year’s Eve feast and then we put on some dance music, with some horns, and had a PAR-TAY! The kids loved the horns but no one more than Lydia. She was laughing hysterically! We couldn’t stop because she was …
