It was Walt’s second Valentine’s Day and he’s much more thoughtful this time around. Walt and I scrambled to put a Valentine together for Dad and it’s pretty evident. Here’s the end product: I keep seeing all these precious finger paint projects on Pinterest. I thought, what a cute (and cheap) way to say “I…
A Chicken Nugget Diet Does Good
Pulled some pics off my iPhone as of late and noticed a trend: my baby has an adorably cute tummy. Of course I exaggerate when I say ALL Walt eats is chicken nuggets. But definitely a go-to staple for us are the bite-sized breaded cluckers that Walt eats at least four five six times a…
Confessions of a Super Mommy
Before you judge the title, let me explain. I’m not describing myself as a super mommy. Trust me, if you could have overheard some conversations I’ve had with Chris over the past couple days, you’ll be well assured that I do NOT think I’m a super mommy. At times, I don’t even consider myself a…
The House that Built Us
As many of you know, Chris and I put our house on the market last week. Little did we know we’d have a contract on it in 48 hours!! Instead of talk about the buying/selling process, I thought I’d tell you guys a little bit about this house. I feel like so much can be…
Walt, the One Year Old
When we got Walt up this morning, we asked him if he felt older. Is it odd that I actually think he’s has shown some growing up in the past couple of days?! I know I’ve been gushing over Walt the past several posts, but it was a whirlwind of “firsts” I felt I needed…
Walt’s First Birthday Party!
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…
