Well, we survived! We recently got a new-to-us tent trailer and took it for it’s first spin last week the minute school was out. (Side note: SO MUCH SCHOOL. I think we could’ve safely skipped the last month and no one would have been any the worse for wear. Like swimming lessons, the teacher has […]

Monday Moments: 9.5 months
The littlest little is getting big far faster than I care to admit. He has officially been on the outside for as long as he was on the inside, which is a milestone of sorts, right? He has gone from flopsy helpless snuggling to standing in his crib and by the furniture, army-crawling everywhere, bouncing […]
Monday Moments: Graduation

There isn’t a lot of space, so I don’t want anything huge, just a couple armchairs. […]
Monday Moments: Daddy’s Boy
Gooooood morning, Daddy. It really is both bright and early. Mom, do you think he’ll go for this already? Just a little wriggle-snuggle here… Look at me, daddy. I’m Gavin. Are you awake now? Oh good. Let’s do this day.
