We have a name! We’ve had a name for quite some time, but were struggling with the middle name, so we kept it quiet for a while. But, I’m happy to announce our baby girl’s name is: Vivian Elise Bruns I wish there was a fabulous, insightful story to her name, but it’s really mostly…
Swim Lessons 2016
Last year we were introduced to Ms Erin’s Swim School, which is a semi-private swim school out of a fellow Frisco mom’s house. The classes are 4 kids and last one week (or more if you sign up for more). After years of Emler and AquaTots (which I think are excellent programs for little toddlers…
Spring 2016
Summer is almost here, so it’s time to randomly showcase some pics from the spring time. Not everything we do is blog-worthy, but I do want to capture the little things. The littlest monkey after a springtime haircut Spring means great weather and lots of outdoor time. Here we are hiking at Centennial Park More…
Walt Graduates Preschool
I know, it certainly sounds ridiculous. A graduation ceremony for a 5-year-old who’s not even in public school yet! But, it’s more about the rite of passage than the actual graduation. It’s not like Walt got a passing GPA to qualify for this graduation. Our family of four (and a half!) The other thing is…
Cooking Demo with Kent Rathbun
These days, it’s funny the things that will entertain us. We’ll watch entire shows about house hunting or redecorating. We get excited to see tomatoes growing in our garden. We are giddy about an Amazon delivery that contains a new cooking utensil, diapers, and some toilet paper. We are domesticated! So, when our neighbors invited…

Concrete Jungle Where Dreams are Made Of
Boy, do we love this city. A few months ago it was determined that a big work meeting that I plan would happen in NYC. I immediately began making plans for Chris to join me. I saw it as a last opportunity for the two of us to sneak away before baby girl (and while…
Spring Garden
One of our favorite spring-time activities is getting our garden set up. Chris made us this perfect raised flower bed a couple years ago and we love changing out the vegetation each spring and fall. But, we definitely have better luck with spring. We tried onions and garlic in the fall and had the cutest…
20 weeks
For as slow as the beginning of pregnancy is, the rest of it seems to be a high-speed train. I can’t believe we are already halfway to meeting our baby girl! Baby is the size of a banana How far along: 20 weeksTotal weight gain: 12-ish pounds? +/- 3lbs 🙂Maternity clothes: Oh hell yes. Nothing else. Lots of…
Walt Loses His First Tooth
I think this all started years ago when we first took Walt to the dentist. He’s totally fascinated with losing his teeth! He goes to a Montessori school where they put 3-, 4-, and 5-year olds in one class together (it’s so the little ones learn from the big ones and the big ones help…
