Life around here lately
As usual, there are a million things I’ve wanted to post about, but I just can’t keep up. Part of the problem is that I take so many pictures and I struggle to get them edited quickly so I can use them in posts. I …

From the mouth of Jenson: January 2016
January was a month of lots of change for Jenson. It was his first month as a big brother and dealing with all of the adjustments that went along with that. He did great, and was still as funny and sweet as always. When Jenson …
From the mouth of Jenson: December 2015
When Jenson really started talking, he was constantly cracking us up with things he would say, or surprising us with his verbal skillz. I bought a wall calendar that had blank lines on the top page, and the calendar at the bottom and hung it …
Marlowe update: Three months old
Marlowe is 3 months old now and she’s changing so much! She started to interact with us (and objects) so much more this month and is really developing a personality. She’s still a clingy little thing – my velcro baby does not really want to …

Marlowe’s 2nd month was a busy one. We took weekend trips to visit both of our families, so she met a lot of people and spent some time in the car. She did pretty well in the car, really only waking at the end of …
Day in the Life: Wednesday in March
I haven’t done a “Day in the Life” post since January since my first day home alone with both kids. Things have settled down more since then and we’re on a slightly better routine and get to leave the house sometimes since the weather is …
Volleyball after baby…yikes
My spring volleyball league started last night. I played in the spring league after Jenson was born too, but that was almost 5 months postpartum…not 2.5. And I worked out most days of my pregnancy with Jenson, unlike with Marlowe. And I had lost all …
