Somehow I have a tiny baby who is now a regular sized toddler (70th percentile for height and 60th for weight!). Ember’s birthday was on April 12th and we had a blast celebrating all last weekend. Friday at school she wore her Pete the Cat dress and opened gifts from my sweet office mates. Then… Read More Ember Is Two!

Here’s the thing about being pregnant when you have a toddler. I’m not sure you actually have TIME to be pregnant or notice much, at least. It’s definitely snuck up this time. Suddenly I’m 19 weeks (some call that 5 months?) pregnant and both Kevin and I find ourselves forgetting that it’s even happening sometimes.… Read More Second Round – 19 Weeks

Our little family has some big news to share! In September of 2019, Ember will be a big sister and poor Kevin will be entirely outnumbered with another girl in the house. Apparently Ember knew even before we did – her teacher sent this photo from Valentine’s Day and says it’s her new favorite book!… Read More Here We Go!

Time goes by quickly. That’s not news to anyone but January seemed to take forever and now February is already over. Ember is doing great. She loves that Spring might be here again and is so happy to get back to the playground at school during recess and after care. She is counting to ten… Read More January/February

It has been a wild and busy December! Ember is loving school per usual. She plays with her friends, loves the swings and comes to visit mom and the accounting staff at the end of most days. It is, often, the best part of the day of course. Mostly I think she’s in it for… Read More December 2018

Wow! It’s been a while since I posted on the blog! We have been as busy as you normally are when you have two full time working parents and an 18 month old. We had our reception at the TN Aquarium in mid-October and were so glad for all of our friends and family who… Read More October & November

Kevin was in charge of the honeymoon and I am in charge of the reception. After our small ceremony with family only, we planned to leave two weeks later and spend ten days in Germany. Once we got home, we would have the reception a few weeks later. Spacing it all out was a GENIUS… Read More Honeymooning Part 2

While mom and dad went to Germany, Ember stayed home and had a 10 day vacation herself. She had so much fun with Rachel and Kasey – she went to the Creative Discovery Museum, got ice cream, went out to dinner, hung out at the splash pad and explored the Pumpkin Patch playground for the… Read More Honeymooning Part 1

Today Kevin and I got married. We had a small ceremony in the garden across the street from our home with my mother officiating. We invited only our immediate family and it was perfect. The day was beautiful, the weather was as good as can be expected (no rain, very humid) and the reception afterwards… Read More 09/01/18

Ember went from walking to full on adventuring. She loves to walk everywhere now! We had a chance to take her to the Creative Discovery Museum recently and although she didn’t love the Daniel Tiger exhibit as much as I did, we had fun! We also got a chance to have some family photos taken… Read More Motoring
