The madness at the house isn’t just constrained to March. It’s been quite the few months…too many late nights at work and too many naps boycotted by the kids at home. I’m told it’s April in a week but I’m not sure what happened to January, February, or March. It seems that the past few…
Christmas [in April]
I was really sitting down to write a post about our springtime activities when I realized we still hadn’t posted pictures from our Christmas time in Minnesota. Unfortunately, we didn’t take that many pictures on the first end of our trip in Minnesota because we were without a lens – boo. Despite that, it was…
Rewind
In a last ditch effort to get caught up on what filled our time during the last three months of 2013, here’s a quick photo rundown…
William’s Birthday…a few months late
Phil may disagree with me on this one (it’s probably just mommy guilt) but it certainly feels like William gets cheated out of a lot of the exciting “firsts” we shared with Sophia. His baby book is barely filled and has no photos, hand-me-down clothes (which I love), a hand-me-down room and the majority of…
Viva l’Italia
Viva l’Italia indeed! So six months ago Meredith and I started planning a trip based around a set of dates rather than a particular destination. We talked about some Caribbean islands, various cities in the US, thought about Spain, and then settled on Portugal. The weather during the end of December wasn’t the best and…
Sophia’s Blue Truck
One might thing Sophia is a bit young for her first car but don’t tell her. She’s quite certain that the new (old) truck parked outside the house is, as she says, “my blue truck!” So the family grew by about 4,300 lbs of awesomeness this past weekend as a 1985 Toyota FJ60 was purchased….
Summertime…
and the livin’s easy (sung to the tune of Sublime’s Summer Time). Our summer wasn’t quite so easy with the crazy busy schedule Phil was dealing with. The fact that it’s nearly November and I’m just now getting around to posting pictures from August is further evidence of that but alas, here we are! Although…
Red, White and Blue
We celebrated Independence Day in the standard American way – barbequing, beers, fireworks and a whole lot of red, white and blue! Oh, and a little bit of mud on the side.
Hello San Francisco
Hello to the land of sourdough, a big golden bridge, and a place that has as many great restaurants as it does hills! We decided to take some much deserved time off and visit SoNorCal for a few days this month. We were not disappointed one bit! It is even rumored that I may have…
The big 3-0!
No, I’m not in denial about turning 30, just terribly behind in updating our website. Despite Phil’s absence, I had a wonderful 30th birthday. Most notably because my parents were here to share it with me. It’s strange to think that I spent my first 24 birthdays with my parents (except for my golden birthday…
