While this is technically Walt’s 3rd Easter, it’s the first one that we’ve really fully celebrated. We always celebrate with a nice family dinner, but we’ve sucked pretty bad as parents at the whole Easter Bunny/egg hunt thing. I still didn’t quite make it to every activity, but I blame Walt’s sudden tummy bug. This…
I Frow Out
Let me translate. “I frow out” is what Walt said in the midst of a three-hour puking spree from about 9:30p.m. until just before 1 a.m. last night. He means he threw up. He kept saying “throw out”, which kinda made me giggle. I’m not sure what kind of virus that boy got a hold…
Walt’s a Slugger
When Chris went to Ireland, we had our first bout of Spring weather. And, boy how gorgeous it was! Walt and I played a lot in the backyard. We spent most summer outside last year where Walt perfected his golf game and learned to kick a soccer ball. We did have a baseball bat/ball for…
Pregnancy Update: 25 Weeks
I knew I’d be worse at documenting this pregnancy this time around. That’s no joke. The last belly pic I took was at 17 weeks… er, that was 8 weeks ago. Whoops! I wish I could say that it’s because I’m so busy and just haven’t had time. While that’s not a lie, the real…
When Daddy’s Away, Mommy and Walt Will Play
Chris took his annual trip to Ireland this week. It’s this killer trip where he gets to go to Dublin for St. Patty’s Day and broadcast live from the Jameson Whiskey Distillery. Not a bad gig at all! Because of my current state of being, it wasn’t a good year for me to try and…
Big Boy Bed!
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…
