It seems like it’s been a week in the making but we finally moved Katelyn into her own room. Nerve racking? Yes. Successful? Mostly. Since the second bedroom has and always will be Devin’s “office”, it took some revamping to get her moved in there. First I needed to organize my craft table upstairs so…

Being at the three and half month mark you’d think I’d have this mothering thing down. Or somewhat. Well, here is what I’ve figured out so far. Katelyn’s Schedule–She goes to bed anywhere from 9pm to midnight and wakes up anywhere from 6:30am to 9am. So not much of a schedule but we are getting…

OK, so she is actually three and a half months now but oh well.  We took some pictures on the day she turned three months old. I also took some pictures a few days before that turned out better. But once again, they are…well, you know. But here are some pics from her three month…

Just want to say “thanks!” to all you moms out there that are keeping it real and say “no thanks” to you moms who are in denial. Thanks to all of you who really know what motherhood is about and share your support. No thanks to all of you who [think they] have the “perfect”…

So I started writing a post where, in a nutshell, I’m ranting about a few things that have bugged me lately. Then I found this post, which I started back in September. I just glanced over and saw it in my drafts. So, I thought I needed a little pick-me-up after all the ranting I…

If you were to ask a first grader what their favorite food is, most definitely they’d say pizza and ice cream. At that age, what else is there, really? Anyone who knows Devin knows that he lives for pizza. Why do you think he married me, the daughter of a pizza delivery man? Duh. About…

Here are a few more pictures from our Houston trip that didn’t quite fit in with the Christmas Eve stuff. A few days before Christmas I laid Katelyn down next to the tree to take pictures of her to document her first Christmas. She really likes to just lay down sometimes and look around, especially…

I’m finally getting around to my Christmas post. We went to Houston to visit my family (did I say that already?). All of my family lives there now, including my parents. Probably because until now, that is where all of their grandchildren lived. For Christmas Eve we had a soup potluck at my parents’ house….

A few days before we left for Houston we decided that we needed to have a family activity with Devin’s family since we wouldn’t be here for the holidays. As usual, things didn’t go as planed. Our first plan was for everyone to go to dinner at the Garden restaurant. We called a week prior…

Once again, the best and most important pictures are on Devin’s computer. But here is what was left behind on the memory card from our trip to Houston to visit my family. Here is Katelyn a few days after Christmas. She is sporting the take-home outfit that my dad bought for me when I was…
