Chris and I kicked off week 2 of my Grown Up Spring Break with a trip to Las Vegas, which was the world’s most needed vacation. Chris and I potentially hold a record for most vacations cancelled. We were supposed to go to San Fran when I was pregnant with Walt, and I up and…
Flashback to Grammys 2008
Today is Grammy Day. I know that’s just another award show for many of you. It’s has all the elements of glitz and glamour — fabulous red carpet, amazing performances, “holy sh**” moments. But the Grammy’s are extra special to me and my girls… because we’ve been… seven times. No, not hanging outside the Staples…
A family of boys!
As many of you saw on Tuesday, we found out that we are having another BOY! I couldn’t contain my excitement long enough to compose a blog post, so hastily posted to Facebook. I do, however, want to capture what my emotions were that day and leading up to it. When I was pregnant with…
18 Weeks – Round 2
It’s official. I’m terrible at documenting this pregnancy. Perhaps the fascination with the growing belly is not quite the same the second go-round. I’d even venture to say that it causes lots of eye rolling and heavy sighs in my house. Don’t misunderstand. I’m SO SO SO elated with what’s happening and the blessing that…
Walt’s 2-year Stats
We got to see Dr. G last week to get the offiical stats on our Munka Man. It’s weird only seeing the doctor every six months (and now once a year!) for check ups. I guess we’ll really have to rely on our bathroom scale and wall measure to keep things accurate. Before the stats, here are…
The Pros and Cons of Pregnancy
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…
