• A letter to my Grandma.

    Dear Grandma, Today would’ve been your 89th birthday celebration. It’s been three long years since you’ve been gone and I miss having you for so many reasons. On the one hand it feels as though it’s been so fast. It seems like you’ve been gone longer. On the other hand…

  • Why I wish I had great neighbors.

    Both boys are asleep right now so I thought I’d prepare the cookie dough that Nathan and I need for making cookies. We’re making sugar cookies and decorating them Halloween-y for tomorrow’s playgroup here and when going through my ingredients, noticed I don’t have enough margarine/butter! ARRGHH!!! I wish I…

  • Dude, I am BEAT today!

    I don’t know why but here it is 11 pm and I am SO BEAT today! It has been a long, rough day for me. I feel like I’ve been moving nonstop since 7 am! I guess it doesn’t help that I’ve only downed one meal today – lunch. I…

  • Baifu’s 2nd Birthday!

    On Saturday we all attended Gabe’s (Baifu – as Nathan calls him) 2nd birthday celebration. His actual birthday isn’t until the 10th of November but with Jen being due just days away from his birthday, she decided to throw him a “Boo Bash” birthday celebration instead. Originally it was going…

  • “More carrots & bananas, please.”

    Will had his first taste of bananas and carrots over the weekend and he loves them both! He especially likes the bananas with his cereal….YUM! Just like his big brother and mommy! The carrots are a little on the messy side but who cares?

  • Weird amusement.

    Today the funniest thing going on around here is the new noise William has discovered that comes from his sippy cup spout rubbing against his gums. Nathan was on the table playing with play-doh this evening while Will was in his high chair and I was (attempting to) feed him…

  • Another pumpkin patch outing well worth it.

    We visited Johnson Farms yesterday with our church group and it was such a beautiful day to be there. Although they didn’t have the pumpkin cannon like the patch we went to with Nathan’s preschool, we all had a great time with some of the other attractions there. N8 playing…

  • Great snack.

    My afternoon snack today was a slice of deli cheddar cheese (YUM-O!!) and cheese & garlic croutons right out of the bag. Mmmm….so satisfying!

  • Will: Six month stats.

    Will had his 6 month checkup today and shots. He was a champ. Anyway, either the scale was off or my baby isn’t as big as he feels! Actually, I shouldn’t say that. Breastfed babies are on a different growth chart than formula fed babies, according to the World Health…
