We leave today for our annual Christmas travel adventure. For about 9 days we are on the road with time spent at both grandparent’s houses. This is a great opportunity to get quality time and build memories with our family. But it is also a long time away from home out of our normal routine.…
Last March Z upgraded to a big boy bed. L talked it up, encouraging him that it was so awesome to have a big bed all to himself. Well, then Z was so excited the first few nights that it was tough to calm him down to sleep. We started with a mattress on the…
Looking back on January, it was a month of regrouping from the holidays. Of course Z enjoyed this cold season playing inside with his new toys. In this time, I was beginning to see Z needed more structured creative play options including coloring and sensory bins. Papa made Z a stand for Christmas. Z was…
Saturday before our NYC trip we packed, printed tickets, looked at our driving route, and any last minute planning. That night we took K to a local kennel. Once she got settled in we went out to eat and got rest for our long day of travel ahead. On Easter we got up early, packed…
It has been a very long and full week. Luke left for a conference this past Tuesday (his birthday my first day teaching at a new job) and came home yesterday afternoon. Friday evening we celebrated with presents and a night of catching up at home (more on our busy week to come.) Because he…

I arrived late on Friday night July 26th after a day of airport travels. The next day was Stina's Bridal Shower.…
I've got pre-wedding jitters, only it's not my wedding and they are jitters of excitement and anticipation. Today I am flying out to Washington. I'm coming into town a week before my little brother's wedding so I can help with the last minute planning and participate in pre-wedding events. My pre-wedding itinerary includes: a bridal…
We moved to Corning New York the week of Thanksgiving and since then we've stayed here. So it has been almost 6 months since we have seen any of our family face-to-face. But we are very excited that today we are headed back home! My brother is graduating for college (yay!). Fortunately my brother's college is less…
