Good morning, mama!This boy and I are always the first ones up. He used to go back to sleep after his morning bottle, but not anymore. We are up together at 7a. It's not so bad, now that I'm used to it. I wrote an actual letter one morning, emptied the dishwasher once. It's stolen time.... Continue Reading →
Yes, like everyone else in the world, we had a brown house. Until yesterday. We are not beige people. Now our house reflects that.
The littlest boy around here is four months old already!
Do you ever wish for a simpler time? Sometimes I wish that progress had frozen for awhile so my children could grow up like I did. I didn't have a cell phone in high school or junior high. When I wanted to find something out, I looked in our Encyclopedias or went to the library.... Continue Reading →
Here are some things I found myself running to the store for after Brandon was born:1. Sleep n plays. These are the one-piece outfits complete with footsies. They come in either snap up or zip up. I thought I was going to be dressing Brandon in preppy little outfits every day, but then I realized... Continue Reading →
Before you've been a parent, you have no idea what to expect. So you prepare as best you can by buying way too much shit.

There is this thought that I have often that I have never been able to articulate. It just floats in my mind, resurfacing every now and again. Last night it resurfaced again. Steve and I went to a concert at the Slowdown here in Omaha. Concerts aren't really my scene. If I like a song,... Continue Reading →
Around here lately (well, since last iPhone photo purge):Brandon got these badass new shades. I would wear them if we could slap my prescription into them. I lay Holden down on his piano gym and he rolls over to show off. Let's hope this kid grows up to know how to fix things around the house and... Continue Reading →
I spent the majority of last week on our garage sale. These things are all-consuming, I tell you what. But it paid off - somehow, from just getting rid of the junk our house had accumulated, we made $500. And we're very pleased with the extra space in our basement and garage. Now I just...

At exactly 4 months and two weeks old. Brandon rolled over (relive the magic here). Yesterday, at exactly 3 months and two weeks old, in the exact spot Brandon first did, Holden rolled over. Also some bragging here: he first rolled from back to stomach which, according to babycenter, means he is an extremely strong... Continue Reading →
