B is for Boy, C is for Caleb

We’ve been seeing a lot of this little guy lately which is definitely adding to my excitement and increasing the anticipation for a little boy coming into our family. I can only dream he will be as low maintenance and easy going as this special tot.  It’s so fun to watch the dynamic change with… Continue Reading

The Baby Blues

It’s been a little over a week since we found out that TreSoto is a boy!  I think the reality is sinking in. Big sis is sure ready for another newborn at home. She has been very interested lately in carrying around her  “baby brother” It’s so neat to hear her speak of him and… Continue Reading

Happy Valentine’s Day

Thanks to a sweet friend’s invitation, we celebrated V-Day by attending a mini-retreat at a local church which consisted of 3.5 hours of food, fellowship and fruitful marriage advice for an incredibly inexpensive price.  Absolutely perfect for the busy, young family on a tight budget!  To add that extra special touch, we picked up some… Continue Reading

There are days that drag on,… Continue Reading

Second Chances

Today I lugged 60 pounds of sugar and spice and everything nice to the park in our neighborhood. I was a little extremely reluctant after our last experience at the park which involved an overly tired tot expressing her contempt over leaving so audibly that I am positive every house in the Brentwood track could… Continue Reading

Hangover

We are recovering from sugar overload; a super fun, exciting, long birthday celebration day with no naps; and several nights with little sleep for mommy (this time totally self inflicted due to crafting obsessions, not difficult children). We are detoxing and recouping. This means staying in our PJs until well after 10am I can’t take… Continue Reading
