Do you ever make a comment, “We should totally do that!” and you never do? I know. It happens to all of us. It happens so often that you rarely even regret that you didn’t do that thing because you’ve long forgotten about it.  But, no no no. Not with this girl. One of Stori…

Today was a hugely bittersweet day for me. I had to leave my co-workers, employees, and friends to start a new opportunity.  I couldn’t help but get attached to this group. It was a large population of former colleagues of whom I worked with very soon after college.  This time, however, I got to work…

I mentioned in my last post that winter has decided to show up here in North Texas. Which is all fine and good, but it’s MARCH. I’ve already got my heart set on spring sun and patio dining! In any event, we’ve had our fair share of snow days over the last two week’s but…

This past weekend we had a great time meeting up with Chris’s Aunt Bernadette and Uncle Frankie at their home in Spicewood, TX. What  was even better, is their daughter, Allison, and her husband, Turner, and daughter, Avery, joined us from Brooklyn, NY!  Avery and Oscar are 2nd cousins less than two weeks apart in…

This Sunday our neighbors, The Allen’s, invited us to take our boys hiking at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve.  The catch was it would just be me and Josh, so we were easily outnumbered by children. Also, this was my first time bringing Oscar along on an adventure like this. I wasn’t sure how he’d do,…

I love babies. I really do. But, I REALLY love celebrating babies. I have really come to love a good baby shower. So, when my dear friend, Renee, told me she was expecting her 2nd baby boy, I immediately started planning her baby shower.  I called up my pal, Stori, and two of Renee’s former…

We took Walt for his four-year well check today. I was not looking forward to this. I had a ton of anxiety over the shots. I’m not even sure Walt remembers shots! But more on this in a sec. This well check was actually very interesting. In addition to standard height and weight, they tested…

We have great friends. We’re blessed to have friends all over the world! The problem with that is we don’t get to see all of them as much as we want.  The McClure’s live in Tyler, TX. Jeff was Chris’s running buddy forever and was the best man in our wedding. Through Chris and Jeff’s…

Year after year, it’s becoming more and more apparent what a whirlwind the holiday season is. And, it doesn’t end with New Year’s for us. We open a new year and skate right into Walt’s birthday.  I always feel bad (emotion used very lightly) because Walt get a crapload of Christmas gifts, followed by an…

Another birthday milestone for our littlest guy.  These come so fast and furious with the second kiddo.  18 months definitely doesn’t sound like a baby anymore, and Oscar wants you to know that he’s definitely a big boy.  He’s really developed a fabulous personality and I sure love all the talking. First things first, here…
