Girl’s Life

Well we’re officially into January and well into 2008, and I’ve had some time to really be contemplative about where I’m at right now, where I was in 2007, and how life is going to change in the coming year. I mean, whoa–we’re adding a whole new member to our family this year!
It’s true that […]

I’ve held off much longer than I had planned to share the wonderful news with the internets. Yes, it is true–the past few months of silence and the smell of stale blog was not because I was ignoring you. No, never! I have just been sick as a dog in my first trimester of pregnancy.
How’s […]

Dancing the “YOU JUST WENT POTTY!” jig down the hallway with Chris after Sophia successfully used her toddler toilet last night for the first time. Seriously. You would not believe how excited we got. I even let her have a Hello Kitty band-aid in celebration. And if you know Sophia’s love/hate relationship with […]

Maybe pretending it’s the cold wintertime when it’s 100+ degrees outside convinces her it’s not so hot. I think the kid might be on to something. Anything’s worth […]

Today Chris and I celebrate 6 years of marriage. Six whole years being married to my best friend. Pretty darn cool.
It’s been such a whirlwind of love and laughter, of faith and celebration, of the familiarity of all things home and the uncertainty of all the trials and happiness just around the corner. I remember […]

I never thought that I would come to really love and appreciate mornings. But these days, well, sometimes I do.
Sophia wakes up early a lot. A. Lot. The kid has the weirdest internal clock. One morning she’ll be up at 5:30 and the next day she’s sleeping in (!) until 8:00. Isn’t it funny […]

I’m back from my birthday trip up the coast. Back to reality. Back to my life of diapers and snot-nosed kisses and hilarious toddler conversations about penguins and horsies and scary monsters. I loooved getting away for a few days with Chris, but I love even more being back home with my little family.
