We wrapped up another great season of fall soccer with Walt’s team: Team Chaos. These boys have been together since they were 3 and now they are all turning 6. It seems crazy to say, but they have truly come SO far. All us moms were commenting at the last game how much fun they…
Oscar Soccer – Fall 2016
Oscar first organized sport is in the books… thank goodness. Phew – that did not go as we expected. Granted, when we started Walt in soccer, he was six months older, but this experience should have been marketed as 3-Year-Old Cat Herding. Talk about wheels off! If someone wasn’t crying, screaming, yelling or dancing, then…
A Bruns Family Halloween
Phew! Halloween kind of snuck up on us! All of our attention has been on a clock and a calendar (Ok, it’s Tuesday so Oscar has soccer; Ok, it’s Friday so Walt has to dress like a piece of cotton candy; When does Vivian feed again?) but apparently the 31 on this month was meaningless…
Vivian Elise is 2 Months!
Here we are again! Another month. Time is on a freight train right now. I barely remember month one. Now sweet Viv is two months old and I know it’s just going to come faster and faster. I hate to say Vivian is the best baby because someday the boys will read these blogs and…
Maternity Leave Limbo
I recently read an article on Scary Mommy about one working woman’s perspective of what maternity leave is like. It’s hits the nail on the head so exactly, it’s…well… scary. I’m not going to rehash that blog (it’s good. Go read it.), but it got me thinking about my maternity leave. Don’t worry, this…
Vivian’s Stats – 1 Month
Our appointment with the doc was a few days after her actual birthday, so here are her stats: Weight – 8lbs 3 oz (14%)Height – 21.5 inches (60%)Head – 14.8 inches (70%) She’s tiny, ya’ll! In fact, we need to try and get her gaining more and faster than her current rate. I think we…
Vivian Elise is 1 Month
Slow blog month, but it’s because this month has felt like the shortest month with the longest days. That’s not a complaint! We have so much to be happy about! Let me just tell you what a super star baby Vivian is! I’m not quite sure if it’s because she’s the third and she…
House Update #2 – Framed!
Two stories framed! I realize it’s been almost two months since our previous house update, but their hasn’t been much to say. But, now there is! It was a slow start. We just watched a dirt pile each week, then one day it was staked and we blinked and it was framed. Recall that we…
Oscar the Sidekick
No, Oscar is not the new Robin or Chewbacca or Tonto. He finally gets his chance to play a sport of his own: Soccer! His adorable little team is the Sidekicks. Oscar must feel like he’s been playing soccer, baseball and every other sport since the day he was born. He intently watched Walt until…
