Happy Birthday, Reed!
Our new little guy is finally here! And he is completely precious…Reed Alexander arrived Wednesday night after 93 minutes of labor at 8:33 pm into a tub of warm water in our living room. Through hypnobirthing techniques we learned, we were able to have a nice, peaceful beginning to Reed’s sweet new life. Here is […]
The Baby Belly
We are looking forward to the arrival of “baby brudder,” as Laelia calls him. So today we took some pictures! Only a few weeks to go!
7 years ago…
Seven years (and going on 4 babies) ago, I married this very special man. I am so grateful for his love and support. He is an amazing husband and father and adds joy to my life. It is so nice to have a special day dedicated to remembering the moment when we decided to share […]
Balloon Races
Poppie and Nana came to visit. When Poppie visits, the girls’ most favorite thing to do with him is blow up balloons, let go of them, and watch them whirl through the air as they deflate. It produces a great deal of entertainment for them and is a fun way for them to bond. But […]
Growing
The cooler months are upon us here in Florida. While much of the rest of the country is snowy and freezing, we are enjoying having the windows open and running outside without having to come in to avoid the heat or jump in the pool to cool off a bit. The girls have been enjoying […]
Swoon!
How am I feeling about having a boy? Oh my goodness! I can’t even stand it! Every time I think about him, I get butterflies in my tummy…although it could just be him sensing that I’m thinking about him and him doing a little dance in there, but I’m pretty sure it’s me. And don’t […]
It’s a…
Pink or Blue? Girl or Boy? XX or XY? Cowboys or Ballerinas? Hair bows or Neck ties? Chloe says it’s a boy and she’s going to name him either Hay or Jake. Willow says it’s a girl and she’s going to name her Falyssa. I hate to disappoint either sweet girl. But it isn’t twins […]
Time Out
I would love to tell you that all of my children are pure angels. I can’t. In fact, it seems that lately they are over the top in misbehavior. I can only assume this is because of Christmas and the craziness that sometimes accompanies this blessed holiday. I find I am using time outs a […]
Home
It’s always nice to come home. The normalcy of our world is so nice to return to. We spent the last week visiting our Maryland family and we had a fantastic time! It was a week of firsts for the girls–at least a week of doing things they can really only do in colder areas […]
Chloe Update
Okay! So, thank you for all the prayers and well wishes for our family, especially for Chloe. Late last night, Scott and I were talking and praying and educating ourselves on exactly what happens during the procedure. I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed by all of the risks and feeling like it’s not a necessary surgery […]
