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.
My parents, Bruce and Mary, flew into Norfolk Airport on Wednesday evening and I happily picked them up for their 3 1/2 day visit. Such a short time, but so much was packed in while they were here. For starters, my dad taught Chris about installing toilets… There’s Chris, diligently observing and soaking up knowledge… Read More Family Visits and a New Toilet
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!
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
Just a few photos of my funny baby boy 🙂
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
**Thank you to Danae for letting me play around with her camera! Pretty sure that I know which one I want, now!
Do you see that? I’m not referring to the Sky Tower. I’m referring to the other thing. Do you see it? No? Here – let me point it out to you: You still don’t see it?! Ugh. Fine – I’ll zoom in: Do you see it now?! That, my lovely readers, is a human being… Read More SkyJump
Joe is so curious and playful these days. I read about 3 – 4 books to him everyday and we’re making frequent trips to the library. I’m running out of stuff to do with him, though. I keep thinking that I should get him a walker, but I hate to add yet another thing to… Read More Jolly Jumper
Joe and I went on a pointless errand today. Don’t you just love those? When you get to your destination and you learn that the paperwork you were given is, in fact, not sufficient. And then when you email the letting agent to let them know that you need different paperwork in order to get… Read More Some Photos
Chris came home early today in order to make-up for the fact that he’ll be out late for the rest of the week. What to do with this rare moment of spare time? I knew what I wanted to do! We went to the Auckland Art Gallery: We have wanted to visit for awhile now,… Read More Auckland Art Gallery
Someone… Is… Three… Months… Old! Joe had his 3 month appointment yesterday: 6.58kgs (14.5lbs) and 64.7cms (25.5ins) long! He’s as happy and as chatty as can be, and so much fun to be around. Love you, Joe!
Just so you know, Joe hates tummy-time: Not a happy camper!
Joe and I did a lot of walking around today: roughly 4.5 miles, or 7.25kms. That might not seem like a lot, but when you factor in the hills, the cold, the fact that it was raining during some parts, that I had him in a carrier for part of the time and in the… Read More Walking, Water, and My Wee Little Man!
Joe and I took a walk the other day. Destination? “Jason Books” in Chancery… Joe was pretty excited to be out and about in the mei-tai carrier… Of course, within 5 minutes of walking he looked like this… And in case you’re interested, here’s the full view of Joe in the carrier… “My future’s so… Read More Book Walk
