The first few days at home with Molly were great! She had her days and nights mixed up for two days…that’s right…only two days! We had two nights where Travis and I didn’t sleep a wink, but by the third night she’d figured out that we do the majority of our sleeping at night and [...]

home sweet home

Nothing makes you appreciate the comforts of your own home more than spending 4 days and 4 nights in the hospital. Not that the nurses aren’t nice and the doctors aren’t great…it’s just that you don’t get a whole lot of rest.
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to do this post ever since we left the hospital [...]
my sweet kids

My sweet, sleepy little girl.
My affectionate little boy who loves to kiss his sister.
And loves to hold her hand.
So excited to see Molly after her first night at home (my husband will probably be less than excited that I included this picture in my post…).
We are loving being a family of four!

So Owen called it! (see previous post) Em actually went into labor on Friday night (didn’t get a wink of sleep), and we went to the hospital around 6am. She got the epidural around 8:30 and was able to [...]

We’ll find out if he’s a prophet or not tomorrow around noon. Stay tuned.
We appreciate all the prayers.

The Last:
Today marks the last day of my pregnancy, my last day as a mother of one, our last day as a family of three, and the last time we’ll take a picture of me pregnant with baby #2. So here you go…the last belly pic of this pregnancy!
Travis finished up his last day of [...]
owen’s weapon of choice: dance.
Posted in just cuz, owen, pop culture, the fam on April 14, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Em caught one of our post-dinner impromptu dance parties on camera…let’s just say the boy’s footwork is on fire! On fire, I tell you! He is the lord of the dance! Only he opts for Fatboy Slim as opposed to Celtic folk…and instead of a dancing line of hot chicks, Owen’s got his dorky dad. [...]
easter in review

Yesterday we celebrated Easter from sun up to sun down. The morning started off by waking Owen up with his Easter basket! I always remember waking up on Easter morning to find my basket at the end of my bed. I enjoyed passing along this tradition to Owen. Here’s a picture of his sheer delight [...]

Hey all. I know a lot of you have heard about the tornado that hit Mena, Arkansas this morning. That’s actually the town where I grew up and my parents and grandparents still live. My family is all fine, as are their homes. My mom was actually downtown when it hit, only a block and [...]

This week some of my friends and I got together at a park to have an Easter egg hunt with our kids. The weather was great, we had some nice wide open spaces for the big hunt, and the kids had a ball! Here’s a shot of the kids before the hunt began:
After somehow managing [...]
