Things I Do

Saturday, July 23, 2011
This was my first real week of being a stay at home mom and I am loving it. I guess I have technically been a SAHM the past 10 weeks, too, but with Sean back at work now, it feels legit. He is working and I am staying home to take care of our most precious cargo. And I am loving every freakin'...

Welcome to Your 30s...

Sunday, July 10, 2011
I'm always amazed at how quickly things change. Maybe this is because most of my life, I have resisted change. You know how when you don't like something, it seems to pop up everywhere around you? That's been the story of my life this past year.Last year on my birthday, for my 29th, Sean and I went to San Francisco for the weekend....

Gia Week By Week

9 Weeks

Thursday, July 07, 2011
Monday was the 4th of July, so we thought we'd get a little patriotic with this week's picture. Gia was in her first parade at Gram & Pop Pop's house for the 4th. It was led by a big fire engine! She did great, and didn't even cry or get scared at the loud sirens! Happy 9 week birthday baby! ...

Gia's Birth Story Part 1

Sunday, July 03, 2011
I've been wanting to write this for a while, but just haven't had time. Its amazing how fast my days go by when I am staring at my little girl nearly every waking hour. :)I couldn't believe that I had actually made it to 40 weeks. At 37 weeks, my doctor predicted I would have Gia a little bit early, if not in...

Duke

So Long Furry Friend

Friday, July 01, 2011
I am heartbroken today. If you don't like cats, skip this post and continue on your merry way to the next blog in your Reader. We had to put my beloved kitty boy, Duke, to sleep today. After a cross-country move, a new baby, and living in close quarters for the past 4 months, he just couldn't take it anymore and frankly, neither...

Summer Reading 2011

Friday, July 01, 2011
(Reading Rainbow, anyone?) *grins*Since we moved to Ohio, I have been trying to read a lot more. Some time after college, or maybe because of college, I used to only read Christian Life type books... you know, the kinds you have to read with a pen and highlighter in hand. I realized that I wasn't really having fun reading those, but I felt...
