Oscar Turns Three
Phew! What a month! And, we get to cap it all off by celebrating our favorite littlest brother. We celebrated Oscar’s birthday on his actual birthday (June 23) with some vegan cupcakes (thanks, Unrefined Bakery!) and some family time. Oscar got things he usually has to share from his brother – like this perfectly manly…
Oscar’s Big Boy Bed
It’s the year of change in the Bruns’ house! We are forcefully shoving gradually encouraging Oscar into some big boy changes. Joking aside, there are things it’s time for him to move on from. We took his paci away about 3-4 months ago. While he only had it at night, it was time. We have…
Family Trip to Austin
I love summer. Schedules loosen a bit, which is nice (and can be a bit maddening for my Type A), but in the end, I like the change in pace. I knew we would be limited on vacation options this summer for a number of reasons. The obvious reason is my growing belly. I can’t…
Oscar the Gymnast
If you know anything about Oscar, you know that he’s not exactly built like a gymnast. He’s tall and solid as a rock. More like a linebacker than a tightly compact gymnast. But, the kid is strong! About a year ago, we decided to enroll him in gymnastics at Eagle Gymnastics. It was a parent-and-me…

I’m starting to wake up occasionally to pee in the middle of the night. Not my favorite thing, but it’s not every night. Best moment this month: SO much this month. Walt’s graduation? Finalizing Viv’s name?Miss Anything: Wine and normal-sized clothes. Movement: Yes – regular…
Vivian Elise Bruns
We have a name! We’ve had a name for quite some time, but were struggling with the middle name, so we kept it quiet for a while. But, I’m happy to announce our baby girl’s name is: Vivian Elise Bruns I wish there was a fabulous, insightful story to her name, but it’s really mostly…
Swim Lessons 2016
Last year we were introduced to Ms Erin’s Swim School, which is a semi-private swim school out of a fellow Frisco mom’s house. The classes are 4 kids and last one week (or more if you sign up for more). After years of Emler and AquaTots (which I think are excellent programs for little toddlers…
Spring 2016
Summer is almost here, so it’s time to randomly showcase some pics from the spring time. Not everything we do is blog-worthy, but I do want to capture the little things. The littlest monkey after a springtime haircut Spring means great weather and lots of outdoor time. Here we are hiking at Centennial Park More…
Walt Graduates Preschool
I know, it certainly sounds ridiculous. A graduation ceremony for a 5-year-old who’s not even in public school yet! But, it’s more about the rite of passage than the actual graduation. It’s not like Walt got a passing GPA to qualify for this graduation. Our family of four (and a half!) The other thing is…
