With two kids under 4 (one of whom is not a fan of sleeping by herself), the days are merry and bright but the nights are anything but silent. Anyone else with us?? Having said that, 2018 has been overall a very rewarding year. Here are some highlights from the year: We know this is a busy,…

Happy Christmas 2017
Hi friends and family! As 2017 races to a close, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the year and share some of our experiences with you all. The year began with finding out we were pregnant again and due in September. That set the tone for much of the year, with us…
Merry Christmas 2016!
Well it’s that most wonderful time of the year again! But wow what a busy time of year it is as well. 2016 has been a crazy year… our first full calendar year with a child! A baby… a toddler. Boy, toddlers are fun! Did I say fun? I meant crazy. Am I asking myself…
Merry Christmas 2015!
If I could sum up 2015 in just a few words, I would call it: The year of the Clara Our beautiful, exciting, confusing, precious, frustrating, but mostly amazing daughter Clara was born at the beginning of April. This was a bit earlier than planned (a little less than 3 weeks), which was a bit of…

Checking Off Yet Another Zip Code
True to our usual form, it’s been quite a while since our last update. It’s been over two years. I assure you this isn’t only going to be a log of our various moves, but much as the last post was about our move into a new home, this one, too, will center around that….
Moving Day Cometh and Goeth
We’re all in and basically settled! Last Saturday we had 12 awesome people (family and friends) pitch in and help us move. Having that much helped made it so incredibly easy (that and the fact that we were only moving 3 miles away). We were loaded in about an hour and a half, and unloaded…
The Big Move
We move on Saturday. We were fortunate enough to have friends recently buy a new house and offer their old one up for rent, and that will be our new dwelling place! We’re so excited to have more space, a real garage, an extra bedroom (office), and a yard. We’ll be sure to update this…
Kids???
Whoa, settle down. I just created the category so that there’d be one here, for the future. We’re not quite there yet. Though that does bring up an interesting topic for discussion. What have you and your spouse talked about? Have kids as soon as they happen (leave it to chance), or wait a while?…
