We had a wonderful Mother’s Day yesterday.  My parents watched Walt for us on Saturday night so we could celebrate Chris’s birthday like adults. Which meant that on Sunday morning we got to sleep in!  I think my poor body clock has forgotten how to sleep in at all, but it was so nice to…

Today I got to do my very first school activity with Walt!  True, he’s been at this school since he was 12 weeks old, but up until they reach 2-years-old, it operates more like a daycare. Now he’s in a toddler class and doing real Montessori work (which is totally fascinating).  So, the school has…

Since Chris has been working weekends for almost a year, we haven’t made as many trips to Gilmer to see the in-laws.  As a matter of fact, the last time we were there was Thanksgiving… when we announced baby #2 was on the way! Nana and Papa are wonderful and come visit us in Dallas…

Well, Spring is upon us and this weekend was gorgeous. We spent Saturday afternoon at the Frisco StrEATS festival. The festival itself was a display of food trucks to meet any culinary desire. A pregnant woman’s dream, right!!? Meh. It was disorganized and the food was nothing to write home about. But the weather couldn’t…

Walt had another first today… he visited the dentist! We’re probably a little overdue on this. I know “They” say kiddos don’t need to see a dentist until they are 2, but Walt has had all 20 of his baby teeth for a really long time (since he was 18 months or so??). In any…

While this is technically Walt’s 3rd Easter, it’s the first one that we’ve really fully celebrated. We always celebrate with a nice family dinner, but we’ve sucked pretty bad as parents at the whole Easter Bunny/egg hunt thing.  I still didn’t quite make it to every activity, but I blame Walt’s sudden tummy bug. This…

Let me translate. “I frow out” is what Walt said in the midst of a three-hour puking spree from about 9:30p.m. until just before 1 a.m. last night.  He means he threw up. He kept saying “throw out”, which kinda made me giggle. I’m not sure what kind of virus that boy got a hold…

When Chris went to Ireland, we had our first bout of Spring weather. And, boy how gorgeous it was!  Walt and I played a lot in the backyard. We spent most summer outside last year where Walt perfected his golf game and learned to kick a soccer ball. We did have a baseball bat/ball for…

I knew I’d be worse at documenting this pregnancy this time around. That’s no joke. The last belly pic I took was at 17 weeks… er, that was 8 weeks ago.  Whoops!  I wish I could say that it’s because I’m so busy and just haven’t had time. While that’s not a lie, the real…

Chris took his annual trip to Ireland this week. It’s this killer trip where he gets to go to Dublin for St. Patty’s Day and broadcast live from the Jameson Whiskey Distillery. Not a bad gig at all! Because of my current state of being, it wasn’t a good year for me to try and…
