We have officially entered the holiday season. We spent Thanksgiving at my parents home and were able to see Kari as she was in town for a week. Though short, it was great to see her. We had what some would call a non-traditional Thanksgiving, but in reality, it was what it should be about…just […]
Our ‘baby’ Stu turned 1 year old yesterday. I had this yearning to do something special…..I’m typically the one who says “He’s one, he won’t know the difference” but I guess it was more for me to realize my baby is growing bigger than for him. We ended up having a spaghetti dinner that ended […]
The past couple of weeks have been beautiful outside! As new home owners we have now experienced cleaning gutters, racking & bagging leaves, and other joys of home ownership.

I wondered how long it would take before he tried to ride the basket down the stairs. It was in that same moment I heard “Read, Set…..GOOOOooooo!” Yep, it took him only […]
Channeling energy is a time consuming and exhausting task. The past week has been a challenge to see around getting angry and thinking of George as a little boy exerting his independence and emerging personality. However, after about a week of “I don’t want to!” and “NOOOOO” we are thankful for an adorable child who […]
