Last Saturday, my WHOLE family celebrated my parents’ 45th wedding anniversary. 45!? I just celebrated two and want a pat on the back. In 45 years of marriage, my lovely parents have had 3 children (all girls), 6 grandchildren, 4 step grandchildren, 3 sons-in-laws, and one dog. They raised us girls to be independent, strong,…

The Bruns’ Family Takes on NYC
What a post this will be! Many of you caught my numerous updates on Facebook, so I’ll try and provide some new and compelling information. Although Hurricane Irene was certainly a topic of conversation (and Facebook updates), it really didn’t run our entire trip. Let me start at the beginning: Here is Munks on his…

Family Road Trip to Austin
Last weekend, The Bruns family met the McClure Family (Jeff, Janna, Cash (3.5), Blake (1)) just outside Austin to celebrate a milestone birthday for Jeff. I took my camera, which was a feat in and of itself. My parents were always terrible about bringing their camera (our family photo albums consist of Christmas and July…
Walt finds his inner soprano
No, I don’t mean his inner Italian. We’re waiting for that (fist pump or GTL we hope will be avoided… but who are we to judge?). Walt has developed a very controlled squeal (or screech) that he often emits when he’s very contently playing. He is most content while in his activity center (or “roundabout”,…
Six Month Stats
Saw Dr. G today and got lots of A+’s 🙂 My estimations are true. He’s still very tall and though he’s not quite as lean as last time (I thought I noticed he was chunking up!), he’s still in a lower percentile in weight. Here goes: Weight: 18.5lbs (75th percentile) Height: 28 inches (97th percentile…woah!)…
Walt is Six Months!
It seems Walt keeps hitting milestone birthdays when I get back in town from business trips. This past Friday was no different. I was gone to San Francisco for one day (see post), and got to come home to a rambunctious little six-month old! We see Dr. G on Tues to get all his physical…
Why I love Cali!
After a short 24-hr trip for work, I am reminded why I love Cali so much. Here goes…1. In Feb in LA it is easily 75-80 degrees2. In July in San Fran it is 65 degrees 3. Organic and locally grown food EVERYWHERE. I bet even McDonalds has organic stuff!4. Bike lanes… Biking and carpooling is…
Working and Schooling Mommy Madness is Upon Us
I don’t even know why I’m blogging right now. There’s about 9,394 other things I should be doing. Somehow in the past three weeks, my job just skyrocketed into major workload increases and a little bit of job scrutiny. On top of all that, I’m taking two online classes for my MBA and they are…
Walt is Five Months!
It’s another monthly birthday! Every month I think I like this one the most, but that keeps evolving with each passing month. Walt actually celebrated this b-day on the day I got back from Nashville. Luckily he was in a fantastic mood when I picked him up from day care, so we snapped some pics….
