There is something about this…..   ….that just melts your heart. Something about that changing table that always gets a smile out of her. Yesterday and today I successfully let Katelyn “cry it out” for her nap.  There are times when she will just go to bed quietly and not put up any fuss.  But…

I can’t remember where that statement came from but I know it had something to do with my dad. Anyway, today Katelyn has decided that she doesn’t want to nap….at all. She got her early morning one in but after that she’s been staying awake for most of her 3 hour cycle. I’ve tried. I’ve…

You always hear the fashion gurus say that you shouldn’t buy what you think is your size but just buy what fits you right. Seems to be that way with diapers, too. 8-14 pounds….I don’t think so.

Over the summer, we decided that we wanted to extend an invitation for Katelyn’s baby blessing to Grandma Far Away (Devin’s mom’s mother)…

So maybe today was more like winter time but here are some pictures that we took last Saturday with the beautiful fall leaves. We had some Collier family pictures taken by a photographer but they didn’t turn out. Some of these shots my dad took while the photographer was trying to get some shots. The…

To be honest, I’m not much of a Halloween buff….or at all.  No, we did not dress up Katelyn this year.  What’s the point? So we can take a million pictures of her miserable in a silly outfit?  No thanks. Just now I was thinking of a Halloween back in my college days.  (And by…
