This might be a long post, but I’ve got a lot to say! In my defense, I was such a crappy picture taker at Walt’s party, that it deserves at least some description. Anyone on Pinterest that follows me could easily have figured out months ago that we were throwing Walt a Sock Monkey party. …

First Christmas for Walt
I’m so behind on blogging, but it’s been a hectic couple of weeks, as I’m sure everyone has had! I even back-dated this post so I could put it in the 2011 blog book. Cheater! We finally got the whole family well JUST in time for Christmas. Chris, Walt, and I headed to Gilmer the…
Petri Dish
It has been a long week in the Bruns household. Walt was sent home from school around noon last Wed. with a low-grade fever. As they should, the school sends all kids home with a fever of 100.4 or higher. Walt’s was dancing right around that mark. He had been a bit coughy and wheezy,…
Walt is 11 Mos.
Um, wow. I can’t even believe our baby is on the heels of his first birthday. I started this blog about a year and half ago to document our growing family. Somehow when I envisioned it, I didn’t mentally make it to this point in Walt’s life. But, what a cool and surprising time this…
3, 2, 1…. SURPRISE!
What a week last week was, and it was nothing but good! As many of you saw on Facebook, we pulled off a surprise party for my mom for her 70th birthday. By way of background, my mom’s birthday is on Christmas Day. Pretty special, right? We think so, but it certainly makes celebrating her…
Naps
I have a question for mommies (and daddies) out there. As many of you know (or don’t), I’m a bookworm. I will research the crap out of anything. Before buying big things (appliances, cars, etc), it’s not out of the realm of possibility to create a spreadsheet comparison. That being said, you can imagine what…
Optimism
This will be a slightly unusual post for me. I was so incredibly moved and fascinated by the Diane Sawyer special about Gabby Giffords, the Arizona senator who was tragically shot in the head on January 8, 2011. I’ve had that special on my mind since the second I began watching it. I thought a…
Walt is TEN Months
Walt is already in double digits?! Wow. I’m in shock. It feels like I was pregnant just yesterday (though part of me feels like that was a totally different life). We now have a full-fledged mover who is the coolest, funniest, happiest, sweetest little thing in our lives. At 10 months, Walt does the following:…
Dylan Brady Harris – WELCOME!
I must say, I sure love this time of being a grown up where we’re constantly welcoming new life into the world. It definitely seems that 2010 and 2011 were record years for people we know having kiddos. Last Thursday, Mr. Dylan Brady Harris (newborn son to my high school friend Renee (Chafitz) Harris and…
Doits, Dats, and Uh-Oh
You can put down the phone. No need to call the asylum just yet. I haven’t quite lost my marbles. My blog title simply reflects Walt’s inventive little language. He has developed the cutest little babble. He is using inflections in his jibberish, so it sounds like a real conversation. He’ll even ask nonsense questions….
