Yesterday marked the end of Daylight Savings Time. We took the morning pretty gently, not waking up till 8am (which was 7am the day before) and greeting the day with waffles and lots of tea (or coffee, in Chris’ case). Because it was a somewhat odd day with different hours, we decided to skip Sunday… Read More Springing Forward
Our neighborhood was not exempt from Hurricane Michael, although it was downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it hit us last week. My parents had driven up that Thursday for an extended weekend visit and they arrived just in time to get drenched. We woke up the next morning to find that one… Read More Storms and Visitors
Thankful for a visit from my mother-in-law this week. She brought their dogs as well and I’m happy to say that all went smoothly in that regard 🙂 Family is so precious – I’m thankful that we’re back in the States, where we can easily see them and share our lives with them.
So many people told us that Williamsburg hardly ever sees snow. I thought that our days of shoveling, salting, and slip-sliding through winter were over. But apparently, I was wrong. We’ve gotten snow 2 weeks in a row now (I know, I know… my friends elsewhere with harsher winters are sarcastically gasping in shock) but,… Read More Snow… in Williamsburg!
Joe and Jack and I went to see Santa Claus at New Town Shopping Center in Williamsburg. By far, it was the most low-key Santa visit that I’ve ever had. We almost didn’t go. I’ve been so overwhelmed and busy lately that I thought perhaps it would be good to knock this thing off the… Read More Visit to Santa Claus
How are these boys growing up so fast?!
Dear Jack, I have to apologize to you. As is so often the case, the 2nd child tends to get a little less attention spent on things like updates and photos and baby books. Sorry 🙁 Especially with all of the moving that we’ve been going through, I have to admit that I’ve let your… Read More Jack – 3 1/2 Months Old
Joe and I headed to the playground for some much needed swing ‘n slide time on Thursday. It was the first day without lots of rain this week and he was happy to get out. I love that Joe gets so happy over such simple things like swings, slides, see-saws, and dangling from handle bars… Read More Photo Shoot at Myers Park
Ready to go again!
Someone was very happy with the tractor from the toy library 🙂
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a “day in the life” post. This one isn’t quite as detailed (the last one had actual times) but still has plenty of photos to let you know what a day in my life looks like. Morning. Wake up, make the bed, and get dressed. Ignore my (and my… Read More Another Day
Just a few photos of my funny baby boy 🙂
I thought that I would share what a day in our life looks like. Please join me for a photo tour! 1:50am – Bad start to morning – woke up with a terrible headache, ended up getting out of bed, being sick, taking Panadol (Tylenol) and drinking some water 2:30am – Back to sleep 6:30am… Read More 1 Day
Took this photo of myself as the 3 of us were heading out for a walk in the early hours of Saturday morning {just past 8am}. Hooded jersey, black UA workout leggings, and jandals FYI – ja{panese sa}ndals = jandals = flip-flops! I’m not even sure that I’d brushed my hair by that point. Oh… Read More Messy Mom Monday
Joe with Grampa (Chris’ dad) Swinging down by the St. Simons Island pier, wearing a South Carolina ball cap Partial view of the village on Mallery Street 4th of May – practically a SSI institution Chris was trying to figure out my in-laws’ video baby monitor. Joe was happy to help! Meeting some of the… Read More Photos
Dear Joe, You are officially 6 months (182 days) old! I cannot believe how fast you’ve grown up. It seems just yesterday that we were bringing you home from the hospital. You have practically doubled your birth weight and now weigh 18 lbs 2 oz (8.22 kgs) and boy, can we tell! You’re squarely in… Read More 182 Days
Part of our reason for staying in the States so long is for Chris to do a bit of work at some different universities, the primary one being Notre Dame. He’s already been here and to Purdue in the 2 1/2 weeks we’ve been in the USA. South Bend is about 2.5 hours north of… Read More Michigan, and now South Bend
**Thank you to Danae for letting me play around with her camera! Pretty sure that I know which one I want, now!
