Easter 2017

Happy 1st Birthday To You!
In six years of being a parent, this was the first birthday cake I have made myself. This is hard to believe since I enjoy cooking. Baking, though, is a different thing. But when I… View Post
One Year Later
It’s almost one year ago that Tom and I headed to the hospital for the baby to be monitored through the night. An ultrasound earlier in the day showed my amniotic fluid was too low,… View Post
Spring Break
This spring break week started off how you never want a week off to start, with a sick child. We had gotten everyone in bed Friday night and were looking forward to the week ahead… View Post
Meal Prepping
For an hour or so on Sunday, we have become meal prepping machines. This week in the middle of the prepping, I looked at Tom and said, “Do you remember when all of this prep… View Post
Birthday Boy
We celebrated this boy today! This year he’s been asking to go camping for his birthday. The weather was a little chilly during the night this weekend, so we’re hoping it will work out for… View Post
Little Boy
This picture pretty much captures his personality. He’s a baby who wants to be in charge. I think he believes he can do whatever he sees Thomas and Arthur do, including feeding himself and climbing up… View Post
The Weekend
After this weekend, it was especially nice to have a holiday today. We enjoyed an extra day to sleep in and all be home for the holiday, well minus Tom. We’ve been in a rough… View Post
Valentine Fun
We don’t take Valentine’s Day too seriously around here. Tom and I are both not huge fans of the holiday. I do like flowers to put on our table every now and then. But I… View Post
The Weekend

John Lloyd, 10 Months
He greets us with a smile that melts your heart every morning and pretty much any time he catches your eye during the day. We’ve come a long way in 10 months. On one hand… View Post
Class Cooking
Last Friday I had the privilege of spending some time with Thomas at his school. At the beginning of the school year, his teacher had some lists of a few things to volunteer for throughout… View Post
Welcome 2017!
(Thomas wrote this right around New Year’s. I would have to agree!) I would say 2016 was the year of many adjustments and many milestones to reflect on. Our first child turned five in March. … View Post
Our Thanksgiving
November 24, 2016 This week has been full in many good ways. Last weekend Tom played in the state tennis tournament. And we also began getting Christmas decorations down from the attic. We have enjoyed… View Post
Arthur is 3!
November 17, 2016 This past weekend the Arthur bear turned 3! We had a fun family weekend celebrating him. On Thursday he took a cookie cake that was decorated in a Ninja Turtle theme with… View Post
Tom’s Birthday
October 21, 2016 This week we celebrated Tom’s 37th birthday. It’s so neat to me that we have been together as a couple either dating or married longer than we haven’t been. And I’m so… View Post
Barnyard Bash
October 14, 2016 Yesterday Tom, Arthur and I spent the morning with Thomas at his school. It was a joy for us. The kindergarten at his school does a Barnyard Bash to celebrate the season… View Post
