For Christmas this year (yes, I k ow that was weeks ago, bare with me), we had the joy of visiting our families in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Though we were sick the week before, and drove all through the night to get there, and eventually got the entire family sick as well (sorry guys), we […]
Photo App Obsession
Almost two months ago, I got my refurbished iPhone 4. The next Sunday, while we were manning the nursery, my friend Naomi told me about her favorite, must have photo apps. Add Instagram a month later and I am totally hooked. I am snapping pictures, cropping, changing colors, adding borders and restraining myself from sharing […]
One!
My baby is one year old and according to the doctor is no longer a baby, but a toddler. (Hate to break it to you Ben, but you’ll always be my baby) Weighing in last week at 23 pounds 13.5 ounces and at least 31 inches tall, this one is breaking my back! He’s moving […]

Baby! Birthday! Business! We’ve been Bus
Hello everyone! I apologize for my prolonged absence. I hope you all received copies of our birth announcement – if not, let me know and I’ll get one to you – but I’m still excited to introduce to you Benjamin Timothy. Or baby Ben as we like to call him. I am currently typing this […]
The Last 3 Months
In August I realized I was exhausted. Exhausted, overwhelmed, and feeling like I could not continue on with life as it was going. Something had to change. Something had to go. Actually, for awhile, a lot of things had to go so that I could find my feet again and be able to breath. I […]
A Good Reminder
My sister, Chelsea, told me I should check out Sunday’s For Better or For Worse comic strip. So I did. It’s a good one.
