It’s a…

Yes, we found out yesterday that Bowen will have a brother! I could have sworn it would be a girl this time around – I guess my motherly instinct isn’t quite as accurate as I thought. But it’ll be fun to have 2 boys so close in age!

I had my routine 18 week [...]

In need of more photos!

Michael and I never have our picture taken together it seems. I need to make that more of a priority because the only photos of us that I have to frame are either from our engagement or wedding (going on 5 years ago now).

I’m really looking forward to this spring and having my talented [...]

My favorite Christmas so far

This year was probably my most favorite Christmas ever. My brother was visiting, Bowen was excited to open presents, new baby, new sister-in-law… everything was just fun all the way around.

Birthday + Thanksgiving

Me and my novice photography skills. We had two big holidays last week: Bowen’s 1st birthday and Thanksgiving. I got only a handful of decent-looking pictures at both parties. Combined. I need more practice for sure. Definitely more practice before Christmas. I want to be able to get some goodies of Bowen on his first [...]

9 months!

Here he is, 9 months old! He’s crawling faster, yelling louder, and standing more on his own every single day. He is filled to the brim with energy and almost every night he fights falling asleep with all his might. I love him more each day.

My life for yours

Here is Bowen on our recent weekend trip to Montana. I’ll be sharing more about that little getaway later.

Today has been just an ok day. It wasn’t unbelievably great, nor was it unbelievably bad. There was just kind of a little dark cloud looming over me today. It was there because I have [...]

7 months

Happy second day of summer!

Today the little guy is 7 months old. Where is my little newborn?!

He is, of course, beginning the teething stage. He’s got two teeth on bottom and we just felt one coming in on top today! At this point, he’s desperate to put anything and everything in his [...]

6 months!

My little guy is 6 months old today!

Mother’s Day gifts

This year for Mother’s Day (my first one!), I got to shop a little bit on Etsy. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, but I did want something for the nursery. After a little while of clicking around, I stumbled across these adorable prints. I couldn’t resist that cute giraffe. It was also exciting [...]

Here We Are!

We’re all moved in! Boxes are slowly being unpacked and we’re adjusting well to all the changes that come with owning a home. Yard work, cleaning 1700 square feet of space (compared to our previous 680 square feet), etc., etc. I’m really surprised at how much I love working in the yard. I always hated yard [...]
