A couple weeks ago my mother challenged me on Facebook to complete something called the ’10 Day Thankfulness Challenge”. The object of this exercise was to write down (ie post to FB) 3 things you were thankful for each day for 10 days. Now I know several things to be true: A) This activity is completely made up. B) Not everyone on… Read more →

Milestones
Life is definitely accelerated with two kids. The second half of August and first half of September have flown by! August was marked by Christopher’s first flight for a meet-and-greet in WI. Both boys were such troopers during our travel. There was barely any whining or crying through the airport and on the plane, and then the 2 1/2 hour car-ride… Read more →
Oven Door Dish Towels
A few years ago my sister-in-law made me some uber-cute oven door dish towels for Christmas. After daily use they were starting to yellow and show their age, so my mom and I set out to re-create them. Note: My sister-in-law is still sweet and talented, however she just had twins so I was not about to add a sewing project… Read more →
Ahhh Summer
Summer has been so nice here this year. Unlike last year in which we tried to set some absurd record for days with temperatures over 100, this summer has been quite pleasant. We’ve had some nice trips to the park or just shopping on my days off and it has been wonderful. We took a short hike around Silver Lake… Read more →
Werk’it
This month has been WORK. As they say when it rains it pours. We started July out with a visit from my parents. I wish I could say it was all for fun, but honestly we worked the heck out of them! They planned their trip around when our renters of 18 months would be vacating the rental house (our… Read more →
Driving, Laundry & Dishes
Well, it was a nice maternity leave while it lasted. I headed back to work on June 18th. It was bittersweet. 12 weeks at home with William felt a little long. 8 weeks home with Christopher felt a little short. Unfortunately we’re paying 2 mortgages until we sell our old rental house so going back to work was the smart thing… Read more →
Houston, We’ve got a Cuddler
Whereas William continues to NOT be a cuddly child, his brother so far is a very cuddly baby. Amazing how different two babies can be. It has been a rather pleasant change of pace and forces me to slow down and enjoy this little guy. Christopher’s current favorite activities include eating, sleeping, spitting up randomly, smiling, attempting to coo, and… Read more →

Here are some of my favorites from Christopher’s newborn photo shoot…he was 8 days old! Read more →
4 weeks old (almost)
Tomorrow Christopher will be a whopping 4 weeks old! Eventually he’ll get a few months under his belt, but for now we’re still measuring in weeks. Life with the new little guy has been sleep-deprived, but much more relaxed than when William joined our family. It is a combination of Christopher being a really chill little dude, and having some mommy… Read more →
