For the past several years, we’ve treated my dad to “experiences” rather than presents for his birthday and Father’s Day. However, he’s gotten sick almost every. single. time. Not scary sick. But, sick enough that he can’t go. My sister, Kathy, and I were hesitant to buy yet some more tickets for his 74th birthday…
Vivian Elise is 5 Months Old
What a month for this little peanut! Our petite little one had a great month.She is absolutely thriving at daycare and her personality is really starting to flourish. Sleeping: She’s still a total stud in this department. Bottle or nurse at 6:30pm and not a peep until 7/7:30 am. She is still napping 3 times…
House Update #4: Almost Done!
It’s been about a month since the last house update, but a lot has happened in the last month (despite the holidays). It’s looking like we’ll close the first week or so of March, so we’re really just putting the finishing touches on at this point. We have landscaping! The exterior is nearly complete. Just…
Walt is SIX
It is wild to me that for one of our kids I’m giving monthly updates and this big boy is already six years old! It seems like yesterday that I was doing monthly updates for him. I remember all that free time I used to have 🙂 Walt had a whole weekend full of birthday…

Merry Christmas 2016
Another Christmas in the books but this time as a family of five. Chris and I agree that this was one of the best Christmas’s in our lives together. High praise! I am so lucky to work somewhere that shuts down from Christmas Eve through the New Year. That’s not to say that the days…
Vivian Elise is 4 Months Old!
Little miss is four months old! This last month was really fun (as things typically are between 3-8 months…juuuuust in time to go back to work). Lucky for us (me), I’ve had the luxury of having Vivian home with me during my first month back at work. We had so many wonderful helpers for her…
Christmas Celebrations
This weekend we really got in the holiday spirit. Not just because the temps dropped to arctic levels (that’s enough out of you, Mr. 9 degree windchill), but we had holiday programs and Santa visits galore! First, on Friday, both Chris and I got to visit Walt’s classroom for his Winter party. The volunteer parents…
House Update #3 – SOLD!
It’s been a while since I’ve done a house update, but truthfully, there hasn’t been much to report. Since September, we’ve pretty much just watched the exterior come together. But, in the last several weeks we’ve listed our current house for sale, SOLD our current house, and seen lots of progress on the new house….
Vivian Elise is 3 Months
Our little princess is 3 months old already! I know things won’t slow down (in fact, they will probably speed up)! This also marks the end of my maternity leave. I go back to work on Monday after Thanksgiving. So, this is also the end of a very well-defined piece of my life. More on…
