27 Before 28

I had a lovely birthday this year. Shaun and I went out to dinner yesterday (Kid-free! Thanks Oma!) at El Maquey and ate some yummy mexican food. I’ve got a nice big stack of new crafty books just waiting for me to read them. (A combination of Christmas and birthday gifts.) And of course, a…

Nine Months

Guess who is nine months old now? (Well, this post is a few days late but whatever) It’s funny how when you are pregnant, nine months seems like FOREVER, but after the baby is born it seems like no time at all. Flynn is one extremely curious little guy. He is far too interested in…

My Sweet Juniper

This past Friday my sweet little girl turned three years old. Three. She’s grown up so much in this past year, it’s killing me. She’s the most energetic and sweetest kid I’ve ever met. I am so grateful to have her in my life.

Eight Months

Eight months just seems like such a long time, except for when I think about how old this little man is. It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long at all. When I look at him I can’t help but think, who is this enormous baby baby crawling around my house?! (He’s wearing a size…

Thanksgiving

We had such a fun Thanksgiving visiting family in St. Louis. I am so grateful for our new home, and my happy little family.

Seven Months

This little seven month old stud is such a ladies man. Everywhere we go, every woman within 20 feet has to stop and come get some Flynn lovin. Just look at those big handsome eyes! And that fuzzy blonde hair, I could die he’s so cute. Cuteness overload. And he knows it too. He’s all,…

Six Months

Happy half birthday little man!! I can’t believe this guy is already six months old.. He is absolutely wonderful. I can’t stand it. He’s an expert at sitting now, he’ll just sit there and play with his toys contently while I chase his crazy sister around the house. He’s had a crazy growth spurt this…
