Being my second pregnancy, I have this perspective of knowing what to expect (which is kind of a load of crap, because this time around is REALLY different. That deserves its own blog post). But, in my wisdom of second pregnancy, I know what things I really should get worried about and which things I…

Fire Fighter 2nd Birthday Party
On Saturday we hosted a little birthday party for our little man who’s about to be TWO. Sheesh, how does that happen? And, ok, it wasn’t a little party. Technically, I invited less people than to Walt’s first birthday, but this time everyone RSVP’d! I guess Walt is a popular guy. It should also be…
Family of 3 = Family of 4
I’ve been mulling over this post since October! I’m so excited to announce that Team Bruns is making its way towards a basketball team. In June 2013, we will add another little bundle to our mix and we couldn’t be happier! 12 week sono… baby’s head on the right… just lounging around While we were…
White Christmas in the SNOW
What a wonderful and awesome surprise it was to get a nice blanket of snow on Christmas Day. It seemed like a movie! The year that Walt was born, it snowed a LOT. It snowed the day after he was born, and then in February 2011 when he was just weeks old, it snowed for…
Merry Christmas 2012!
Oh boy! What fun this Christmas was! Although Walt was almost a year old last Christmas, he really did not get it. By the time he unwrapped his last present this year, I can positively say that he got it. Chris and I tempered our gift buying last year for a number of reasons. First, the…
Christmas Picture Outtakes
In late November, our little family of three took some adorable family pics with a lovely photographer. Doesn’t that sound all nice and pleasant? While the pics that were posted to Facebook revealed a happy, smiling family of three in a nice, tranquil wooded area, what the experience was actually like was 45 minutes of…
I’m All Graduated and Stuff
As unbelievable as this is for me to say, I am FINALLY graduated with my MBA. As mentioned in previous posts, UTD did this so backwards that it was really tough to appreciate the actual graduation. While I walked across the stage and got a nice pretty portfolio (with a sentimental letter from the Dean),…
Thanksgiving 2012
I realize this post is out of order, but at the moment, my life is a little out of order! I wanted to make sure we captured the awesome time we had in Gilmer for Thanksgiving. We only spent a couple of days, but it was really a great time. Not only did we have…
A Reflection on My MBA
Today I’m one week away from graduating with my MBA. Sounds super fancy, huh? It doesn’t really feel that way right now. While this isn’t my first semester juggling a job, a family, and school, it’s definitely been the hardest. I don’t know if it was easier when Walt was little bitty b/c there was…
Munks the Chatterbox
Recently (in the past month or so), Walt has REALLY improved his speech. He’s gone from single words to putting two, three, four words together and really has a conversation. It’s really pretty awesome. Now, Walt definitely has his own language. Chris and I are mostly fluent in “Walt-ese”, but there are plenty of times…
