It’s really nice to have everyone home! We were able to break out of the hospital this past Tuesday and my Mom was in town through Saturday to help get everyone acclimated. The girls have been bouncing off the walls with Quinn finally at home and asking permission to give hugs and kisses at every [...]

Suzi and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our third, beautiful baby girl, Quinn Madeline, on Sunday, August 29th at 3:09 a.m. She weighed in at a svelte 6 lb. 14 oz., and was 21.5 inches in length. Everyone is healthy and very happy. So, during this, our third pregnancy, we naturally had [...]

The other night while I was making our weekly grocery & shopping lists Sloane asked me for a pen and paper so that she could draw. This is the great picture she produced! Having a 3 1/2 year old is just so much fun!

We had some fun making s’mores after dinner the other night to celebrate National S’mores Day (August 10th)! No campfire needed…we have the Micro S’mores maker. An “As Seen on TV” product that was given to us by my mom a few years back. It may seem a bit crazy but boy does it make [...]

It’s official, Reese is potty trained! Believe it or not we started potty training on Monday of this week and she has been dry and accident free since Wednesday! We’re shocked. I have to be honest, I was hesitant to begin potty training with her with it being so close to our delivery date paired [...]

Taking the kids to the beach, although super fun, takes a lot of planning, packing and preparation. So on Monday I decided to improvise and have a “beach day” at home! The girls and I kept busy all day pretending we were at the beach. We did lots of crafts, made some fun things to [...]

Today was Reese’s Big Day, she turned 2! She’s been into the Olivia the Pig Books so I thought I’d try my hand at an Olivia cake. I usually do a small test cake a few days beforehand, but ran out of time and was putting the finishing touches on Olivia’s bathing suit at 1AM! [...]

After finishing swimming lessons, Sloane (ever the busy-body) asked if she could try dance lessons. We checked classes at the YMCA and, for 3-5 year olds, they offer ballet. So, we picked up a pink leotard and some fabulous ballet shoes at Target, and were ready for our 5-week summer session. Sloane was the youngest [...]

It’s been a few weeks since our last post and we’ve been busy inside the house gearing up for the new baby. Greg has done a nice job of painting the girls new shared room, assembling and disassembling furniture, hanging art work and making it perfect for two little (big) girls! We made the switch [...]

So, Reese was enjoying her breakfast at the table on Sunday morning when she noticed a squirrel scurry along our fence line in the backyard. This happens quite often and when the girls see it they alert us to the fact that we have squirrels in our backyard, and quickly turn back to look for [...]
