Monday: Ben found out last week that a good friend of his from college had passed away.  His memorial service was today in Houston.  Carrie kept Betsy so that Ben I could both go.  Quite a few of the people Ben worked with at camp Recloud were there. Tuesday:  This morning I got the opportunity … [Read more…]

Monday was a typical day, Carson had school and we just did normal everyday things.  The only out of the ordinary thing was Kate’s birthday!  Carson made her a little happy birthday video :) Tuesday was supposed to be full of snow and icy roads, but it turned out to be just cold and rainy. … [Read more…]

Bump Day: 20 Weeks

20 Weeks We went in for our 20 weeks ultrasound and anatomy scan yesterday and everything went well, although the doctor did spend a lot of time looking at baby’s abdomen, increasing and decreasing the brightness, which of course made me anxious.  But in the end said everything looked ok.  They gave us a few … [Read more…]

Betsy is Walking

She doesn’t do it all the time, but she does do it on her own without someone standing her up and calling her over to them.  I’ll come into a room and she’ll be walking over to something just because she felt like it.  This is a relief at close to 18 months!  Our pediatrician … [Read more…]

A summary of the week.  In list form because that’s all my brain can do today. We ate Chick-fil-A twice in a row this week (Monday and Tuesday). We had breakfast with Carrie at Blacksmith on Thursday.  It went surprisingly well considering I had both kids.  Thanks to Carrie for holding Betsy so I could … [Read more…]

Bump Day: 18 Weeks

When I was pregnant with Carson I did a weekly belly shot and I like looking back on it now, especially the last one we took knowing now that 5 days after that was taken I was in the hospital holding him.  I think I started taking those around 14 or 15 weeks.  I didn’t … [Read more…]

Every day this week we did something or had someone over, which is great and makes the day go by faster, and is good for me and the kids, but also makes me totally exhausted and means I’m not home during my most productive time of the day, the morning.  So I didn’t get as … [Read more…]

Project 52: 1/52

Since the year ended I’ve kind of missed daily (or rather, catching up on 4 days at a time in one day) blogging.  This blog has become a journal for me and a way to remember what happened to our little family.  So while daily blogging was too much to tackle again, I figured a … [Read more…]

  NYE 2013 Had a fabulous time with these fine people tonight to celebrate and ring in 2014!  It was a busy day for us.  We headed to Texas Direct Auto to look at and drive some cars at 10am and by 2pm we’d decided to buy a Toyota Sienna.  Yes, a minivan.  A new … [Read more…]
