Learning New Things

Jonah’s vocabulary has just been exploding lately… phrases combined with subtle little sounds and gestures that just leave us in stitches… like frumpling up his eyebrows, smooching out his lips, shaking his head no and say “umm, I don’t really need to go night night right now” or the little lip smack and sigh followed [...]

Getting Ready for a Change

Jason has been out of town all week on business, and will be back late Friday night. We decided that we’d go ahead with our plans to officialy start potty training Jonah, even though his trip cut his long weekend short. Mostly because Jonah’s being very interested now, and if we wait two weeks until [...]

Oh no! Elmo, here we come!

As you all know, from a previous post on the subject, I have tried to keep cartoon character infatuation at bay, in order to keep the more expensive/lower quality “licensed character” items out of our house. Well, I’m here to admit that I’m bringing this soon-to-be Elmo infatuation on myself, and I’m even asking for [...]

Got Alot Done

With my mom hanging around and helping out last week, we got WAY more done than any couple with a nearly 2 year old and a 1 week old should! My mom is a major DIY handy-woman, and just couldn’t contain herself when she came to stay. By the end of the 1st day she [...]

Going To 3-Columns

Jason’s New Hairdo

I gave Jonah a little trim last night, with the new hair clippers I got for Christmas, because he was starting to get a little shaggy. Jason’s been complaining about needing a haircut again too, but he’s never let anyone near his head with clippers, so I’m not sure what convinced him this time. He [...]

Some Unexpected News

WE’RE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!
If you’re finding out via our blog, don’t feel bad, you’re not alone! We just found out this morning, and the only people we’ve actually told in person is our immediate family, and my dad’s parents. But it’s true, or at least this little stick leads me to believe so! [...]

My New Wheels

Saved up and bought myself a bike trailer so that Jonah and I could go for rides to the store and to the local parks. Part of my effort to live a little greener.
