Everyone who has a child knows that Christmas takes on a whole new excitement when you get to see it through the eyes of your child. Last Christmas, Owen was slightly overwhelmed by all the Christmas festivities…this year, he couldn’t get enough!
We started our Christmas celebration with my family here in St. Louis. [...]

As you can tell, this picture isn’t recent…it was from last year. I don’t know about you, but nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a chubby baby dressed in Santa duds.
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
a trip to the magic house

If you aren’t from St. Louis and aren’t familiar with the Magic House, it’s a great children’s museum. The only down side to the Magic House is that it’s always very crowded and claustrophobic feeling. (If you’re like me and really hate the feeling of being trapped in places and not able to [...]

In the spirit of “The Holidays”, I figured we’d pay tribute to one of the less popular celebrations. I can’t wait for this year’s feats of strength!

Yes, that’s right folks! The St. Louis Zoo actually has a lot to offer around Christmas time. Last night we took advantage of Wild Lights at the Zoo. Here are some pictures that give you an idea of the winter wonderland we walked through last night:
Owen has loved looking at all the [...]

Yes, Owen is 19 months old today…
…and I am 22 weeks pregnant today!
I thought it was time to put up a belly pic…considering I am now over halfway through this pregnancy! Exactly 4 months from today (on April 17) we will be meeting the newest member of the family. Crazy that we’re already that close! [...]

Christmas Vacation is one of our favorites. We watched it a couple nights ago, and I was reminded that this scene is definitely my personal fav. Classic Cousin Eddie.
The black dickie under the white sweater. “Gettin’ the daughter cured off the wild turkey.” “Barkin’ for the yak woman.” It’s all just too much. So I’ll [...]
dancin’ the night away

Owen LOVES to dance. As is routine in our house, Travis turns on music while we eat dinner every night. Last night we managed to capture a video of Owen’s moves while he was eating. It cracks us up. Give the video some time…he really breaks it down at around 30 [...]
annual christmas clip countdown starts today

As I suggested last year, I’m a bit of a Christmas movie junkie. I realized this week that if I was going to make the old “Christmas Clip Countdown” an annual thing, I better get on it (what with the staph drama in the house last week, it kinda slipped my [...]

We went to the doctor this morning and Owen is MUCH better! She reopened the abscess and tried to squeeze out anything that remained inside, and she was unable to get anything to come out! She also remeasured the abscess. Yesterday it was 4cm long and very fluid-filled. Today it measuring less than 1cm and [...]
