The day arrived, and our little man is officially a one-year-old. We all took the day off to spend together as a family. My uncle and my dad were also arriving mid-afternoon, so we wanted to make sure we were home for their arrival.

#72 An Emotional Day.
When Nathan wakes up tomorrow, he will be a big one-year-old. This truth hit me like a bolt of lightning today, and I have been struggling to keep myself together since.

#71 Just Call Him “Pig-Pen”.

Over the last several weeks, it has been difficult for me to wake up extra early, pack the kids up in the morning, and get them out the door at a decent time.

#65 What a Day.
There are some days when you think life cannot get any more chaotic than it already is, but then it proves you wrong. Today was that day, and man, I am beat. Our hot water heater broke this week, so it has been quite the adventure trying to keep two kids and ourselves clean in … Continue reading #65 What a Day.
#64 Will’s Big Boy Room.
Long before Andrew and I were trying for our second baby, we started the transition for Will to move into his big boy room. Since the nursery was decorated as gender neutral, the plan was to keep the room the same for baby #2 and to move Will across the hall into his new room. … Continue reading #64 Will’s Big Boy Room.
