When my husband and I were expecting our first baby, we were pretty dang excited. Sharing the news with our family and friends was thrilling. Our hearts were racing, our adrenaline pumping and a perma-smile plastered our faces. We almost spilled the beans to anyone who would listen. And our family, too, was just as […]

Being a parent is by far the hardest job I have EVER had. Before having our babies I was a high school teacher, and the level of frustration I have experienced with students doesn’t even come close to what I feel with my own crew. And believe me, I have come across some real gems. I […]
Having a newborn in the house means we are a little extra groggy in the mornings, so we implemented some things that help our mornings run a little more smoothly, especially on school days. And after being asked quite often how life with three is going, I thought I would share what it is we […]
Our Sweet Franklin has turned two months! And the biggest change in him this month is that he is now a smiling fool! And what a DELIGHT it has been when he flashes us one of his precious little grins. Oh! And he coos! If only you could hear the sounds coming out of this […]

Wow, how did that happen? Sweet Franklin is now a month old. Does this mean he is no longer a newborn? Or can I still call him that? Because I’d like to hold on to that title for as long as I possibly can. Some tidbits about the little guy… He loves to be cuddled. […]
Since we had an induction, Gwyneth and Cal knew exactly when baby was coming. Saturday, November 7th was the day. The night before, we dropped Gwyn and Cal off with Grammie and Poppie, and they knew the next day they would be meeting their new baby brother or sister. Because I labored so quickly with […]
