I feel like we’ve been talking about doing this for months, but we finally pulled the trigger. We have begun transitioning Walt to a big boy bed. This was a tough decision because Walt would probably sleep in his crib until high school if we let him. He’s not an escapee (although I’m fully prepared…

The Perot Museum
I’ve been thinking lately that things may seem hectic with a toddler (and don’t get me wrong, it’s a mile a minute in the Bruns’ house!), but things are about to get ridiculously hectic in the middle of the summer. Having complained every single weekend I was in school that I felt like I was…
Baby #2 has a Name
I know I said this when we were trying to pick Walt’s name, but this baby-naming business is tough work! In a casual poll among other new mommies, we agree that boys names are tougher than girls. I thought I exhausted through “great” names for boys with Walt, but when I looked back at my…
Reese and Walt – Together Again
As the final activity of my Grown Up Spring Break, I got to spend the whole day with my main MunkaMan. Walt’s school was closed for President’s Day, and luckily, so was the new job. So, Munks and I tooled around all day and in the afternoon hooked up with Walt’s future wife first friend…
Grown Up Spring Break
It’s nearing the end of what I’m calling my Grown Up Spring Break. This whole thing came about because around Christmastime I found out the company I work for was acquired and my job was redundant. I was given two weeks transition (which was extended to a month) and then my time was up. It…
Viva Las Vegas!
Chris and I kicked off week 2 of my Grown Up Spring Break with a trip to Las Vegas, which was the world’s most needed vacation. Chris and I potentially hold a record for most vacations cancelled. We were supposed to go to San Fran when I was pregnant with Walt, and I up and…
Flashback to Grammys 2008
Today is Grammy Day. I know that’s just another award show for many of you. It’s has all the elements of glitz and glamour — fabulous red carpet, amazing performances, “holy sh**” moments. But the Grammy’s are extra special to me and my girls… because we’ve been… seven times. No, not hanging outside the Staples…
A family of boys!
As many of you saw on Tuesday, we found out that we are having another BOY! I couldn’t contain my excitement long enough to compose a blog post, so hastily posted to Facebook. I do, however, want to capture what my emotions were that day and leading up to it. When I was pregnant with…
18 Weeks – Round 2
It’s official. I’m terrible at documenting this pregnancy. Perhaps the fascination with the growing belly is not quite the same the second go-round. I’d even venture to say that it causes lots of eye rolling and heavy sighs in my house. Don’t misunderstand. I’m SO SO SO elated with what’s happening and the blessing that…
Walt’s 2-year Stats
We got to see Dr. G last week to get the offiical stats on our Munka Man. It’s weird only seeing the doctor every six months (and now once a year!) for check ups. I guess we’ll really have to rely on our bathroom scale and wall measure to keep things accurate. Before the stats, here are…
